My friend and I were at the mall the other day, and we saw a diamond ring in the toilet. We asked everyone in the bathroom, and this girl said that it was hers and she had accidentally dropped it, but that she didn't want it after it had been in dirty toilet water.
So my friend and I got to talking and we wondered if the more polite thing to do in a situation is to go to a different stall any ways after the person said that, flush it down before you use the toilet, or go ahead like normal? If you choose to get it out after they say they don't want it, is it ok ethically to pawn it and keep the cash for yourself? We also wondered when the ring stops belonging to the person who dropped it, and who if anyone becomes the owner after the person who dropped it.
We couldn't really come up w/ any answers, so I decided to ask you and see what you think...

But it can be akward just letting a dimond sit in the toilet especially if everyone secretly wants it and is too shy to say anything.
but it comes down to two main people, the person who asked if she wanted it and the person who found it.
you shoulda just been like shit Ill take it.
:) and ran away with it,
lol :)
