When I was small I found a wallet and took it home and my mother said I can keep it only if someone had really lost it.

I told her then I can keep it as someone really lost it.

She asked how I am so sure.

So I told her I saw the man looking for it.

When I was in primary skool I always read the model composition

Whenever you find something that don't belong to you, you must return it

Maybe the owner will give you $10 out of gratitude

But you will turn it down because

Honesty is the best policy!!

In all seriousness you should have handed this over to the nearest NPP after taking photos of the phone with your own and maybe video documenting the handover (if the police allow video taking in the station). Or get a copy of the handover report at least. 

You don't want to put yourself in a position where the guy reported the phone stolen and you are found in possession of it, no matter how innocently you held onto it.

You have a good point, at times it may not worth  to be too naive to be nice.

When I was in sec 1, there was once I placed my wallet erroneously into someone else's bag during a school mass activity. It was a sat and I was so moody and sianz over the weekend. Then on Monday, that person returned my wallet to me with nothing missing. I was so thankful. Since then I had returned quite a few wallets to their owners when I found them. These are items that contains identities of the actual owners. Items that contain no identities like cash I will not even want to touch.

in school, everytime there is a bag check, i will quickly check my bag before teacher comes over to me. in case some fella tries to frame me.

Imagine if you had reported your wallet lost and it was found in that fella's bag!

If people find Iphone have to be careful.

If you code in wrong three times it will take a picture of you and send to the owner.

So you should put under the table and then try to unlock it.

Then the owner will just a picture of your crotch.

Don't forget to wear underwear and shorts when you do this.

Don't want to give the owner a heart attack.

Due to my initial mistake, it could have induced the innocent person to actually keep my wallet and thus commit an offence. Or if that person had seen me put my wallet into his bag, he could have reported that I was trying to frame him. Fortunately it did not went that way.

Me thinks that most phones get locked after a few minutes after last use ; so owner had to best call the polis and hand it to them but nowadays polis station also quite very far too ( do polis do pick up service🤣🤣 )
