Moral dilemma kinda

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

So I was out last night with my flatmate to celebrate the end of her exams. My boyf is living abroad for the summer, he left two weeks ago, and we're taking a break while he's gone. So this was my first night out as a single lady in nine months or so. Also there was a €2 vodka dealy in the club. Not a very good combination of circumstances. So I end up taking this perfectly nice, incredibly drunk young man home. Enjoyed his company for an hour or so, then decided I wanted to sleep alone so called him a taxi and bid him adieu. Wake up this morning and what do I see but his jacket and wallet on my bedroom floor. The wallet has his driving licence, student card, atm card, the works, along with a €50 note. Now my dilemma is this, I don't have his number, all I know about him is his name like. The logical thing to do is hand the wallet into the gards and they'll get in touch with him. But if I keep the 50 does that make me technically a prostitute?

It makes you a thief, if you didn't sleep with him.

The "logical thing to do" is to hold on to the jacket and wait for him to call for it.

Did you sleep with him ? if not then no it doesn't make you a prostitute

elmolesto

Keep the 50:D, you will be fine

No need for the gardai here, you're only wasting their time!
Student card? Drop everything into the student union?

His driving licence will give his home address. Even ring 11811 and give the address and you should get a number. Since it's going to be his home address where his parents are it's highly likely it'll have a landline

You can introduce yourself to his parents too :pac:

redcrew

you can't be serious, do you know how annoying it is to lose stuff...give it all back, jacket, money, wallet etc etc etc... i'm sure he'll call for it or you'll see him out again

Well yeah I will, but no sign of him yet an considering all his important stuff is in there I'm starting to suspect he doesn't remember where I live and no I ain't no thief

You should try and get in touch with him quick, otherwise he'll have to go through the hassle of cancelling all his cards (if he hasn't already) and be stuck for cash for the weekend.

How drunk was he? Could he remember the taxi (firm) he used to get home? They'll most likely remember him as he probably had difficulties paying.
And, more to the point, does his level of drunkenness reflect poorly on you level of hottness?

Not if she gives him back the 50 :D

But that's all he'll have if he has cancelled the cards already...it'll take the bank a few days to get new ones issued..

Now I have two things to worry about!

More. If he hasn't made contact yet, it could be because he has contagious face-cooties or he discovered that you're both related.


Remember to always look on the shite soide o' loife...

Piste

Either drop the card into the guy's SU, go to the address on the drivers licence, or go through all the cards to see if you can find the contact info.



If you keep the 50 it makes you a knack.

Life would be so much easier if I was in the habit of taking numbers! Rang the taxi company I think he used, no help!

Four. Hangover.

Could you not call to the address on the driving licence and hand everything in - if your embarassed just say he left it there after a party.

He'll appreciate it. I lost my wallet recently incl. cards and stuff and it was a complete bitch waiting for licences and cards to reissue.

It's a country address, must be his home one, I've no idea where it is

Ah, well thats fair enough. Student union then like other said I would think. He's just going to have to deal with cancelling the cards. At least he'll get the rest back.

Well if you're considering keeping the 50 then yes you are.

If his drivers license has his address on it then why don't you just post the damn thing to him. Not exactly rocket science.

PS This thread stinks of "Hey everybody, I got laid last night!!11!"

1.
Post it to that address on the licence. It is Their moral dilema now. Minus the cost of posatge and packaging and internet usage.

2.
Use the fifty to hire a private detective to return the property.


3.
Find PPS number etc.. should be enough info there to track the fella down.

4.
Hire a male escort and call him a filthy bastard hoar prostitute and dump him in the cheap restaurant you met in.

5.
Put an ad in the paper for a boyfriend.

Papillon87

Why would you keep the fifty?

Seriously, get his stuff back to him asap.

Just speaking as someone who, a MONTH after it had been robbed from my bag, had my wallet sent by post into my college, went in to collect it after a phone call from college, to find that it was completely empty (money, atm, receipts, 3v, various club type/discount cards) except for my student card. Why the hell bother sending it in....I still scratch my head over that.

Gummy Panda

You got to ask yourself truthfully, was having sex with you worth 50 euro to this lad?

If he has bank cards in it, ring his bank. Explain you have his stuff and they might try contact the lad. It can give you an excuse for a mid-day shag when he shows up

Post his details here. We'll find him.

This isn't a moral dilemma, this is economics. Any halfway decent prostitute would get at least 300 quid for full sex for between 1 and 2 hours (you're vague on the exact amount of time) so 50 quid doesn't make you a prostitute, it makes you a crack whore, stop trying to sugarcoat it with big fancy words

Chakar

I thought the term 'moral dilemma' was on the topic of international political economy.

Or else I've been studying too much.

Agamemnon

God, I was so drunk last night, I lost my wallet and jacket. I ended up back at the gaff of this mad chick who dressed up in a Nazi uniform and spanked me with a riding crop. Good times, but I hope I get my wallet back cos I need my last €50 to get my syphilis tablets.

Terry

Give him back everything.

Normally I would advise that you keep the money, but he didn't score, so he deserves everything back.

You called the cab, so they should be able to tell you where he went.

Fringe

I think he left it so eventually you'll get back to him. Then a nice romantic situation will unfold.

Dave!

F*cking c*ck tease

Enii

What college does he go to?

I have found a number of wallets in my time. Not on my bedroom floor mind, but I just ring there bank, explain I found the wallet, I give the name and card number and they ring the account holder. Sorted. Keeping the 50 is scummy thing to do.

kowloon

Track him down, could unfold nicely and you might end up with a new boyfriend to replace the one you're probably cheating on

Yes, I'd stalk him too.

If you're good looking enough it's not called stalking, the premise behind all romcoms. Are you really ready to turn the world on its head? Are you?
I thought not. :pac:

Yes, at least prostitution is an honest supply and demand type transaction. Scumbag thieving is just scummy.

It makes you a thief. Although you seem to be unable to see that.

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

Oh for heaven's sake everybody, obviously the real issue here isn't whether or not to keep the fifty, which I'm obviously not going to do. My problem was how the hell was I going to find him, gotten loads of suggestions now, cheers, bebod him, sent him a PM, problem solved.

You brought the guy home and enjoyed his company for an hour or so then told him to piss off and called him a taxi. If he didn't get laid then you're pretty much a prick tease.
