When my husband went to Texas not too long ago, he found a cellphone laying around at the airport. The owner was nowhere in sight so my husband took it and waited for the owner to contact the 'finder' through the cellphone.
He did. They made arrangements on how my husband can send the guy his phone back. As soon as he got back home, he communicated with the fiancee of the guy. She sent us the needed information with the instructions [where and how to send it] and said that they will reimburse the whatever the cost was.
It's been a month since that phone was returned to them. We NEVER heard from them again!
This actually made me think...is it worth to go through all the hassles of returning something you found? I think so...my husband thinks so as well. I just hope that some people be grateful enough to at least let us know that they received whatever it is that was returned to them.
