I modified popatop's original question a bit:
original thread here: http://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=187768
Lets say that a fellow forum member you don't even know found an item, Maybe a ring for example and to keep it interesting lets throw in some greed or temptation factor and say that it is worth 10 - 20 or maybe even $30,00.00 or maybe it's just a class ring that originally sold for a few hundred dollars, Bottom line this ring means alot to some one and you can tell it is a fresh drop.
You find out that the fellow forum member has decided to keep the item after posting a picture and mentioning the appraised value of said item.
What would you do?
Would you save the image of the item so that you could try to find the original owner on your own thus sabotaging your fellow forum member or maybe even post a fake ad on Craigs List pretending to be the finder, again to sabotage the fellow forum member? Keep in mind that there may or may not be a name engraved in the ring as i want to cover all possible angles to the find here.
I would like to keep this as not a legality question but strictly a moral question regarding sabotaging a fellow forum members find ( What would you do ).
By the way, I promise I am only using the information for my own research
I look forward to your replies, especially yours popatop

going to get me a bag and sit back better then netflix
douchebaggery is correct for anyone who would do that!! It would be ironic IF the person who would do something so immoral to a fellow forum member was also the self appointed head preacher of the morality police, hypothetically speaking.
