The Ethics of Holding Onto Others' Belongings

The Ethics of Holding Onto Others' Belongings

Hosts Julie and Jake discuss an ethical question: what to do when you find items in your possession that belong to someone else and might have resale or emotional value. Jake reveals he has Julie’s vintage metal Disney lunchbox from elementary school, complete with her name on it, displayed in his house; they discuss whether value changes the obligation to return it. Julie shares similar situations, including a communal nacho cheese machine and movie-theater popcorn machine stored in her attic from her husband’s old parties. They conclude that if you discover something that isn’t yours while preparing for a garage/estate sale, it’s best to contact the owner before getting rid of it, especially if it may have sentimental attachment.
