Well, that's very nice.

His Lordship at Greenock Sheriff Court isn't going to sum up with "well the accused hasn't actually broken any laws, but he was morally in the wrong so I'm going to find him guilty anyway". That only happens on CycleChat, where I am now labelled a thief by some .

Somewhere on Cyclechat I've actually been

Somewhere on Cyclechat I've actually been

I was there about twice per week for 19 years! I didn't have to sit on the wee bench down at the front though; the one with "BM was here" carved into it .

 

[Brandane]

You seemed to think keeping them would teach the person who made the mistake a lesson, does that not apply to the bike?

Yes it does apply to the bike; but as I said the greater value of the bike means that for me, it passes the threshold of "cost effectiveness over value of goods" and I would take reasonable steps to return it.
To take this same scenario to ridiculous extremes, if ChainReaction accidentally included an extra packet of Haribo in their order, would some posters be contacting them to arrange their return?

 

[Brandane]

I would assume they were being generous with the Haribo, since they don't sell Haribo.

Yes, but you know fine well you are only supposed to get one packet per order; so morally, what do you do?

 

[Brandane]

I have already told you, Brandane, and I can see you would never reconsider your stance on keeping something that isn't yours, which as others have said is an odd stance for an ex-copper. No more arguing from me on that one.

You forgot to mention that my stance depends on the value of the goods, as outlined in post #76. Haribo, gloves, or Dogma?
I maintain my stance in the case of an £18 pair of gloves.

However; scoffing an extra packet of Haribo today? Tomorrow you'll be walking into your local bank with a sawn-off demanding the contents of the safe! Or at least that seems to be the thinking of some posters on this thread.

I've frequently had multiple packs of Haribo in Wiggle orders. Damn right in the case of my more expensive orders...

BF, actually

 

[midlife]

I wouldn't bother selling the extra pair as I recall you can't spend the dosh for 6 years....

Further to my last update.

Received a reply to my message to the seller this morning:

" Dear Buyer

You get more of what you need? "

To which I've replied, " Yes thank you "

I'm no Miss Marple, but I suspect English is not the sellers first language.

I'd be worried they've taken that as a second order!

But if you only stole £50 and the bank could easily afford it, who cares, right?

Zzzzzz......

Just out of interest, what would the cost of the gloves had to have been before this did warrant letting the seller know?

 

[youngoldbloke]

Yes, but you know fine well you are only supposed to get one packet per order; so morally, what do you do?

I got TWO packs of Haribo with a very modest order from Tredz last week. What a conundrum!
