to take un-named, unlabeled uniform from the lost property box?

[Amoral]

It's been sat in reception for a week, everyone has had a rummage and I figured anyone who was going to recognise them would have done.

Have I been unreasonable?

[lou031205]

Do you really need an answer?

[DoubleBluff]

theft by finding

[Carmenere]

YABU I would be concerned that it belongs to a child whose parents are a bit disorganised but who can't afford to replace it. A week is not long enough. Child could be off school sick or something.

[StressTeddy]

tis not yours
It's only a week

[BreeVanderCampLGJ]

Is it yours ??

If not leave it.

[lulumama]

take it back. agree with carmenere

[WendyWeber]

Does this mean that someone else has taken your labelled uniform?

I confess that I have done this myself (Taken someone else's unlabelled stuff after ours went missing I mean!)

[Amoral]

Yes I really need a fucking answer, or why would I post?

How would they know it was theirs though? There were about 20 unmarked jumpers. They were all school issue uniform.

[WendyWeber]

Yes but when it's unlabelled, how will they know it's theirs anyway?

Primary school uniform is a merry-go-round...

[Amoral]

It's the last day of term tomorrow.

[BreeVanderCampLGJ]

Actually .....................

Kid gloves off...............

It is stealing.

[Amoral]

I'm going to do a vote count at 8am tomorrow and will act accordingly.

Our school has in the past made a collection fro lost property. Anything that hasn't be claimed for a while, (terms not weeks) is sold off in the hall. There is a newsletter to tell parents to look first and then its sold. Proceeds go back to the school.

I week isn't long is it? The owner may be off school.

[Amoral]

No, because I don't send my child to school with unlabeled clothes.

[Amoral]

But the lost property box has been available to look through since 2007. They put it in reception to get it emptied.

[SNoraWotzThat]

Its summer I expect lots get left in the playground. Have you lost one?

[Carmenere]

FFS if you are so bloody right in never sending your children to school in unlabelled uniform then you will recognise what is wrong in this situation.

[StressTeddy]

do you work at the school?
Have lots of you been offered to "take your pick" from the selection? If it's just you making the decision for yourself then I wouldn't do it

[lulumama]

why do you deserve it? why shoudl you take it?

i labelled everything of DSs. the odd label has fallen off, and it has taken me a few days to get a new label on there, would be pissed off if he left the jumper at school and it got taken by anotehr parent.

[KillerStilettos]

'Tis stealing. So yes, YABU.

[BreeVanderCampLGJ]

So you are not seeking to regain an unmarked top, that may or may not be yours.....

You label all yours, but you are considering taking an unnamed one................

You sound like a thief. TBH

[TheFallenMadonna]

Oh well, if they send their child to school in unlabelled clothes...

Of course it's stealing. Don't do it.
