To address what you said though, carelessness is just a form of stupidity. If someone isn't careful enough to keep track of their belongings, who's fault is that but their own? How can any decent person sit here and argue otherwise? You're essentially saying that people should be expected to look after people who ARE CAPABLE of taking care of themselves but choose not to.
This is why humanity is doomed! If we just let natural selection do its job for a few hundred years place wouldn't suck so much.

Your logic is flawed.
If the person who lost his/her found expected other people to find their phone for them, that
might make your argument valid.
Someone taking someone that doesn't belong to them is something entirely different.
Where are you getting this "people should be expected to look after people who
ARE CAPABLE of taking care of themselves but choose not to" from?
And the latter part in bold is a simplistic and incorrect take on human nature. There's a difference between rewarding stupidity and condemning people for it. Throwing the whole "survival of the fittest" (which is a misapplied concept anyway) thing into this doesn't make sense.
Yes it's the person's fault for leaving their phone. It's
also the fault of the person taking who took the phone. Regardless of the carelessness of the person who left their phone the OP is still trash if he doesn't return the phone.
To reiterate: I'm not saying he's trash for not seeing the phone and making an effort to return it to the rightful owner. He's trash for taking something that doesn't belong to him and keeping it.
You're an idiot if you walk through a dark alley in a dangerous part of the city but that doesn't take away the responsibility of the person who ends up occupying your anal cavity.
I'd like to discuss this over a cup of coffee if you have Skype by the way.
The Black Plague exists everywhere. In fact it occupies 50% of my bloodstream. Damn negroidians.
