The other girl's knickers. On two separate occasions. One pair got caught on the hooks of my sussie beltx which I promptly put away so didn't notice until I got home and the other pair were left in my bed after a night we went clubbing and had adjoining hotel rooms. I washed both pairs and gave them back the next time we met.

Oh, I got a transformers toy out of a Kinder egg on one meet and someone once made me a collar out of thin red rope for me to keep.

Yes, it's quite simple, it is also quite illegal, despite your good intentions.

Bag the lot up, together with a typed note giving date and location of hotel and room number if you can remember it, and take it to local plod lost property.

That's about your only legal option.

It's not about fault or intentions or anything else, it is not about being po po, it is about the Law, and the Law is very clear, as are the penalties for breaking it.

Ownership can only be transferred if you paid the original owner something, abandonment (esp in the circumstances described, a family medical emergency) does not constitute ownership.

The data on a laptop is treated in Law as being separate to the laptop itself, computer misuse act etc etc, again, unless you can SHOW that the original owner SOLD you the laptop together with the data******* then you can still find yourself afoul of the computer misue act and others.

******* this assumes the original owner had the RIGHT to sell you said laptop and data, if they did not, YOU are still in breach.

You appear to be assuming that the data on the laptop is just some random private personal data that nobody is going to give a shit about.

The SIMPLEST scenario is it contains kiddie porn, because liability is absolute and no legal defence is possible, you'll get done and put on the sex offender's register, as I said, a SIMPLE scenario.

It gets a lot more COMPLEX when it comes to matters dealing with the stuff most likely to be on a laptop, because all sorts of other laws can get invoked, did the previous owner even use it for work related stuff and be in receipt of confiential emails from work, did the previous owner use it for any financial transactions such as ebay banking or amazon, you can be liable for losses there, did the previous owner have personal identifiable information, such as photos or facebook logins, more complications, did the previous owner have photos or school details of minors on it, more complications.....

Even simply pulling the hard disk and beating the crap out of it with a lump hammer so that neither you nor anyone else can ever access it ever again is not legal, destruction / modification of data is an offence under the Act.

MY laptop contains software that would cost £15k to replace, my previous employers work laptop contained data that they valued at £500k

it's all fun and games until something goes wrong and suddenly YOU are the one being investigated.

it's difficult because it doesn't have "awareness" like drink driving and then crashing, or breaking and entering and then injuring someone, we all KNOW that is risky shit with possibly life changing penalties.

Nobody thinks, so nobody thinks that a modern smartphone or a laptop can land you in equally deep shit, and once you get a criminal conviction and / or custodial sentence, you'll find yourself looking for a job that;

1/ does not require you to use any computer ever

2/ does not require you to access the internet ever

3/ does not require you to use any smartphone or other device ever

and in 2016 that is a terrifying prospect, multi drop driver, burger slinger, checkout staff, barman, the list goes on and on of jobs you'll be excluded from, and if you ignore it you're back in court on a new charge, this time it is contempt of court.

This whole subject of smartphones / tablets / laptops / PC's and the data that they contain or access is a perfect example of the huge gulf between those who actually know the laws and penalties and consequences treating it all with the utmost respect and discretion, and everyone else who treats it like a second hand car radio you bought for a fiver off ebay.
