I went out in the car this morning and the snow got very deep and I ended up helping people move cars etc as quite a few people were stuck.

I noticed an ipod touch sticking out of some lovely crisp snow about a foot deep so I picked it up and asked everyone if they had lost one and nobody had.

I brought it home and got it started to work out who the owner could be. My investigations led to the following in order (at which point to do you go ewww):

1. some anatomical close up photo's

2. got email started and they get a daily bible message whatever that is but it sums up the religous people I know

3. Facebook messages from a lot of people many of whom I know

4. I logged on to the internet and it went straight in to Facebook (I do not know how to use ios and ended up in history whilst looking for a name

5. Found many visits to swinging sites

6. Found many more visits to animal porn sites including dogs and zooological porn

7. email address for owner

So what would you do?

Have a good look at all those sites on someone else's device so it can't be traced back to you?

Cheers

Blackmail. Obviously! You even need to ask? Play your cards right and you could get a new bike out of this. What do you fancy? 😉

Email the loser.
As long as there is no illegal stuff on there then it would be a case of call the law as invariably there is a victim in the illegal stuff (and yes if the owner is doing animals that is illegal still in the UK).
Return it. Simple, there is a lot of swingers or folk with 'odd' tastes in orientation and activities. takes all sorts, just dont offer to share a room or lend them your car keys......

DO NOT HAND IT IN the Police will charge you with animal porn etc - if this isn't a carefully crafted thread to suggest that it WASN'T you that downloaded it.

I wouldn't have delved that deep into someone else's personal property.

Note on front gate/lamp post or whatever saying FOUND...

I used to get this a lot at my last job on nights. Some of the office girls would forget to close their computers down before going home, and some of my unscrupulous colleagues would trawl through their emails for gossip. Inexcusable. Having failed to convince my fellow workers how low their actions were, I gave up trying and went round making sure every computer was shutdown.

Tut loudly, then email them saying you've found it, saying that they [i]really[/i] ought to have a PIN number to lock it, for personal security reasons, but on this occasion it's good they didn't, or they wouldn't have got it back.
And perhaps they ought to install a separate browser as well...
...it's what I've done. 😉

Just wipe it, and either sell on ebay or keep. No ones going to be asking for it with that stuff on it.

Go to settings and see if find my iPod is activated. If it is then they'll be able to lock it down and send you a message. If not I'd just hold on to it for a bit...

There's always that option, it must be said. While a good Christian would say, 'thou shalt not steal', a good Christian wouldn't be shagging anything that breathes, either.
As I'm not a Christian, the temptation to wipe it and keep it would override the notion to return it to someone of such obviously dubious moral character.

It's not yours, so hand it back (theft by finding). If the owner is embarrassed then that's his/her problem.

Take a copy of the stuff, natch, then blackmail in the future... 😈

I reckon there's a good chance the original owner has shoved it up their arse at some point. Good job it was snowing as you'll have been wearing gloves.

The iPod belongs to the animals at the local zoo. The sicko is the person who's supplying them with humans for sex.

Wipe the device and keep it as your own as the "real" owner is a perv and doesn't deserve such a technological thingy.

Fair point but it came from being unfamiliar with ios (it is really dated as a side note). I thought it was dead at first so connected it to my pc as that was my only method of charging. That brought the photo's up.

I then really struggled to find a link to settings in the email. Anyway I now know how to see the name on an incoming email so I know who it is now. I will reunite them tomorrow. 😆

I've found three phones, on each occasion I've gone through the numbers untill I've found "maison" or "maman" and then phoned to tell them where I've handed it in (or arranged to meet when they were on the same piste). Next time I'll know what to do before trying to track down the owner - you're a voyeur not a prude.

Give it to the police. Who knows what other sick shit might be on there. Wouldn't want this sicko living on my street. I've three dogs for a start....maybe he has pets!

In a similar vein, a mate works for a van rental company in that London. A large half open box was in the back of one of the vans that was returned, they took a peek inside.

It was a full on, properly lifelike, sex doll. That was the size of a child, with massive boobs. 😯 Not sure if they rang the renter of the van, or if he picked up his property...

Posting the pics isn't worth the ban. Sorry

For point 6 I would take it in to the local cop shop.

Strange how easy some people take to and find excuses for theft.

Wipe your manfat off the screen and give it back to the owner. Or just give it back to the owner with your personel decortation still on it if you're feeling a bit cheeky.

Just be warned if you get caught with it or hand it in to the police you'll probably end up being a registered sex offender.

At least if I lose my £2.99 cycling mobile there's no chance of anything dodgy being found on it... it just about makes phone calls and even doing that takes me several attempts to figure out.

[i]As I'm not a Christian, the temptation to wipe it and keep it would override the notion to return it to someone of such obviously dubious moral character[/i]

And you have such high morals? Give it back.

Must be contacts on it so look for 'home'. Don't understand the 'photos coming up on your pc' when you plugged it in. Something doesn't ring true on this one.

[i]seriously dude, Hand it in before kids go missing.[/i]

Over reacting just a touch?

Connecting an Apple device to a PC does usually bring up the photo view options.

However if you are unfamiliar with an iPod or iOS, I'm assuming you dont't own any Apple devices so how did you happen to have a charger for it?

Really not a hard question is it ? I have found something valuable that someone has lost. I know who lost it . Should I give it back ? Does the answer change if I don't approve of the things that interest them sexually ?

By the way I believe that bestiality porn is well illegal . Make sure none is on your computer after your accidental viewing.

it is an ipod.: have a cable for a classic.

I want to give it back but would prefer to hand to a friend of his rather than meet.

I only saw the headers to the porn in history when looking for facebook settings page so no harm done
