Act of Omission.
It was just an ordinary day in the office when suddenly there was an urge on me to visit the restroom due to urgent call of nature. I am about to leave the place and suddenly I notice that there was a small bag left on the top of the washbasin. I further scrutinized the bag and found out that it contained a pricey digital camera, which could cost in the market at around US$1,000.00.As nobody was inside the restroom, idea immediately pops on my mind is to keep it. Anyway, it is finders keepers loser weepers. But, it was far on my mind to actually do that. The first thing I did was to inform my local colleagues to keep it until the owner will come to claim it. Strangely, my colleagues reluctantly accepted it and told me to give to the security guard station in our floor for safekeeping. They explained to me that they are afraid to keep anything like that or hold something that was considered accidentally left in a place. They thought that it could be a bait or trap and the owner could came out from nowhere and accused you of stealing it once you hold the thing in your hand when you are trying to hand it over to the authority concern. They had their own reason. But actually, this is a bad act of omission.
I had surrendered the digital camera to the security guard station on our floor. He then immediately knocks on every room to notify the occupants if they had left such expensive equipment.
