AIBU to think this should have been returned?

10 year old DD's PE kit, in a labelled, brightly coloured bag went missing at the start of November. It contained labelled clothes and £39.00 Clarks trainers which were 2 months old. We searched the school and after school club as (kindly) did the teachers. It wasn't found and was a complete mystery. DD was told off and lots of people spent time looking.
Today, the PE bag was returned to school by another child's parent after 2 months ! It had been taken by mistake weeks ago! We had to replace the missing PE kit (with £5 Tesco trainers this time). Apparently they had been 'meaning' to bring it in!
AIBU to think WTF?!! Who does this? The child who took it hasn't been off school. Very annoyed ( but pleased to get it back at same time!)

Idiots. I'd be cross also. Same parents probably who don't reply to a party invite for weeks and then call on the morning of the party to say they are coming. Buck the F up for goodness sake!!

That's just lazyness imo.

Someone held onto ds trousers for 6 weeks. Someone else held onto a logod polo shirt for 3 weeks and I had to replace it in that time. People do this sort of stuff unfortunately. Someone held onto ds's homework for 3 days !!

I wouldn't do it! Can some people honestly forget to bring things back for so long? Agree, it's lazy and thoughtless.

YANBU, I'd be fuming. In DDs first week at nursery when she was only just 1 year old (so growing out of things super fast and only had one pair of shoes, her first pair in fact), someone took her shoes home and didn't bother bringing them back in for a week or phoning the nursery to say they'd got them. We managed two days with her clawing at the walls to get outside while we searched everywhere before giving up and shelling out £30 for a new pair. I think some people are just completely self absorbed and never stop to consider the impact their little mistake has on someone else.

I've been guilty of hanging on to stuff for a couple of days due to epic fail to get everything together in the morning, but this is way beyond that!

DDs fleece turned up three months later.

The sodding bus company never bothered to throw £50 of PE stuff at school.

However, I have had someone else's polo shirt for half term named and DD2 returned.
Now we have some shin pads unnamed and handed in. Having had them a holidays I hope some one asks.

Yes they should have at least told you they had it, very rude.
