Unless you consider that the confrontation could easily be a polite, tactful encounter.
I'm sorry yours wasn't, but I think the author would have navigated the conversation quite gracefully. (But I don't fault them for not confronting)
- katbyte 3y agoYea.. “excuse me I lost my AirPods and my phone is telling me you have them, any chance you grabbed/picked them up” and of course given they are linked to an Apple ID there’s no disputing ownership
- perihelions 3y ago- "linked to an Apple ID there’s no disputing ownership" How do you expect to bridge the gap from "polite conversation" to "examining the device ID of a stranger's personal electronics"? This is where the conversation would end: "no; these are actually my devices and you absolutely may not touch them, stranger. Go away". This is either a police matter, or it is nothing: there's no middle ground where you go alone to have a polite, exploratory conversation with a thief of the topic of thieving. That's not an interaction that leads to constructive resolutions.
- docandrew 3y agoI don’t know, if it’s a normal person doing “finders keepers” vs an actual thief, I think a normal person would be happy to return it to its rightful owner.
