The modern phrase “finders keepers, losers weepers” means that whoever finds property or chattel is entitled to keep it. Nevertheless, some states may have different laws. “The laws usually require that a person who finds money … turn it over to the local police” (Baldwin). According to the traditional ethical standards regarding lost and abandoned property or finding money, Patricia should not have kept the money. On the contrary, she should have tried to find the owner and only kept the money if she could not locate the owner.
Despite the fact that Patricia did not know at first how much money she had picked up, she should have checked local laws or talk to police immediately. She did not see who dropped it and she did nothing to cause anyone
Mrs. Diana Dogge stole the diamonds. From what the scene shows, the small dog and the flagpole can give the conclusion of the case. The pole was set quietly on the wall, yet could be easily disturbed. Anyone who hears a fire alarm, should as well be alarmed. In fact, Mrs. Diana Dogge should've frantically ran out of the place.
Caroline begins this chapter with a short story about a domestic worker that was treated unfairly by her employers. For six and a half years, Patricia Francois worked long hours as a nanny and suffered from racial and gender discrimination.

Patricia stumbled across the Domestic Workers United, a union that “focused on helping women like her, undocumented and often mistreated by their employers”(Fredrickson 191). Patricia lobbied with other women and with the help of the Domestic Workers United she was

On February 3, 2016, I began reviewing video footage of L. James’s work shift. While viewing the footage, I noticed over the course of James work shift, she would stash cash on the side of the cash register after ringing up several purchases from customers. At the end of her work shift while James was counting monies in the cash drawer, she would separate the money and place some of the money in a bank deposit bag and place the previously stashed cash in a brown paper bag. On several occasions, I also noticed when L. James worked an evening shift, she would carry a medium size box and place it in the trunk of her vehicle prior to the end of her work shift. This took
Mrs. Edmunds is heart broken by this story. Its hurt her even more when she heard that Mr. Johnson didn’t seem to be able to hold a funeral for the baby. Because of the type of person she was, she was afflicted over what she should do. Should she go out and buy herself clothes, which she has long wanted? Or should she donate her money to Mr. Johnson for his daughter’s funeral? Thinking about this gave her headaches. Her morals choose to give the poor baby a funeral and she hurries to Mr. Johnson. But she was a bit too late. Mr. Johnson, with nothing to do, has given the baby to student doctors. Now, the ten five dollar bills, which she literally worshiped all of a sudden, changed to stones in her purse. The money, which has chosen the destiny of a small child that must have had so much ahead in her life, was too much of a weight for her. It was the money that killed the child, not pneumonia. Feeling extreme anger and depression toward money, she hides the money as atonement toward the guilt she felt of her incapability to make up her mind. Only if she were a couple of hours faster, the baby would have at least had a burial place instead of being used in some experiment. That guilt just would not leave her mind.
Although John was young, he held his father’s secret long as he could. John’s father told him not to tell anyone about the money, and John said, “And I won't never tell about the money (Davis Grubb).” John would do anything to make sure no found out about the money even his mom. His father had told him,” Then swear you won't never tell where that money's hid. Not
Many years ago, when Tiffany had arrived on their reservation pregnant, asking for a home amongst the Quileute, speculation flew wildly through their community, especially once it became known that her own family had shunned her when they discovered that she was pregnant out of wedlock. From the moment that Embry’s birth, Tiffany Call had been a bitter woman, intent on taking her rage out on her only child. Then, a particularly odd paper that Joy had perused earlier that day popped into her mind. Almost frantic, she rushed from the room to grab the box laying on her bed, carrying it back into the living room and setting it on the coffee table in front of the
We were dispatched to a pawn shop at 123 Main Street owned by Mr. Patty McRob. A female customer named Jessica was upset with a television set that she was sold on the previous Friday. Patty had a sign up in his store saying no refunds, well Jessica said Patty told her if it was not working and she returned it by Monday she could get refunded. Jessica paid fifty dollars for the television set. Patty wanted Jessica out of his store.
She heard them ordering the old woman in front of her in the line to hand over money and jewelry. She watched the old woman fumble with her wedding ring, her watch. A little girl of six or seven stood next to her, shivering with fear. A policemen pointed to the tiny gold rings the little girl wore in
Instead of telling the man, she proceeds to pick it up and speak to herself, “God watching me the whole time. I come to stealing” (291; 53). She knows what she is doing is dishonest, but she still does it. Why she does it may be shown towards the end. The readers find out the reason for the long outing when she says, “He not get his breath. He not able to help himself. So the time come around, and I go on another trip for the soothing medicine” (292; 91). She is talking about her grandson and his illness. She goes out of her way to get his medicine, because her love for him is overbearing. The story continues and before she leaves the nurses they give her a “nickel” (292; 97). This is when the reader sees why she picks up the nickel from the hunter. She states, “This is what come to me to do. I going to the store and buy my child a little windmill the sells, made out of paper” (292; 101). She wanted to make her grandchild’s charismas a special one. Those two nickels are probably the only money that she had to her name, but she gave it all to him out of love. Jackson shows it is better to give to others, rather than get for you, because the best gift a person can get is the one he or she gives.
Mama used the money as a down payment on their new home and put some money aside for beneatha’s school. Mama gave the money to walter to put in a bank account. Instead, of doing what mama trusted him to do he gave it to a man to take a buy an alcohol license so he can open up a liquor store. But the man whom he gave the money to embezzled the money and fled town leaving walter in utter disarray.
Misplacing items happens to every individual throughout their lives. For Melissa, she happened to misplace her keys. In order to find her keys, Melissa must know something about them. It is in my view that Melissa does not know anything about her keys because she lacks a process for finding them and does not show she cares to find them.
It was my fault, I gave her the silver dollar to buy her friend, Wu Chun-mei, a gift for her birthday. Adeline had told me about her, about the storm she was trying to walk home in when they kindly offered to drop her home, it was a small gift of thanks. But that was what got poor Adeline caught and accused of these absurd things and to be punished for something that couldn't cause any harm, it was a birthday party for crying out loud... Let the girl live a little! you only get one life. Although she denied telling me their plans that they had informed her of once she had been caught, I could tell what they had in store for us, or for her… Sending her away from me, from my bad influence, how dare they think that. I have only ever put my all into protecting her and trying to give her the love and affection a young child needs and deserves.
