I'm sorry to hear about that Mike, that's tragic. I had an overcoat stolen years back and it's just so depressing.

With regards to all the lost item posts, it hits on something interesting. The vast majority of people are honest, and there's a good chance that something you lose will be returned. Something that gets stolen is gone. I find this, and related things like "Asking someone to watch your laptop is almost always a safe bet. If someone offers to watch your laptop, your odds are much lower" to be quite fun because they don't hit on human nature so much as the way chance works, and they're counterintuitive to many. Basically, if you don't self-select for dishonest people, you're almost always going to have an interaction with an honest person. Clearly, everyone recalls the opposite case with some frequency, which has a lot to do with how humans evaluate risk.

good to see we both encountered some very honest people, Fade.

when mine was stolen i had a real strong sense of karma coming around because when i was a teen i was a huge clepto and often stole bags and phones from nightclubs *awaits the slap on the wrist* so i whole-heartedly expected this to be a taste of my own medicine. when it turned up, i was blown away and immediately felt awful for everything i'd stolen in my time (the most expensive of which was a chick's macbook).

the second that i had my wallet back in my hands, i vowed to never steal again.

theetruscan: i've never thought of it like that, that's really interesting, though i'm sure i'd still be pretty apprehensive about asking somebody to watch my laptop!

Heh, I'm glad I decided at the last second not to bid on those.

[tomatous]

Nice one , those are actually beautiful in person. A deep burgundy red. and def more versatile IRL. Do these really fit as a 12?

[tomatous]

My pair has color variation throughout, the back is much darker than the toe area, with some interesting dying on the shaft. Depending on what light I look at them in seems to change the appearance drastically. The distressing caused by the dye is truly beautiful. My foot is between a 12-12.5. These fit perfectly.

Holy shit. I just got a call that the manager of the bar has my coat, with my keys still in the pocket! Apparently last night some girl "accidentally" took it home with her when she was drunk!

I really thought it was lost forever because last night a group of people left the bar without paying their SIXTEEN THOUSAND DOLLAR bar tab. They were causing trouble before they left also, and I figured they might've just snatched a coat just to do it.

I'm so relieved! Good things really do happen to bad people!!!
