Recently, a news about a man who asked for 2,000 yuan after picking up a mobile phone and flashing the phone without giving it has caused widespread discussion.
The incident occurred in Hefei, Anhui Province, the owner of the mobile phone is a female college student, accidentally fell on the pick-up place when dining in a restaurant, and was taken away by the man, the man threatened the girl, if you want to get the mobile phone back, you need to pay 2000 yuan, and you will brush the phone if you don't give the money, the local police station staff said that the police have no right to force the man to return the mobile phone, and it is recommended that the girl go to the court to sue.
This response caused an uproar, and netizens were also quite helpless. Under normal circumstances, when we find a lost item, we should try our best to return it to the owner, rather than taking advantage of the misfortune of others for personal gain. This man's behavior obviously violated the bottom line of morality, not only did not help others, but brought distress and loss to others. The man threatened to ask for 2,000 yuan, otherwise he would have to brush the machine. This kind of behavior is not only an invasion of the owner's property, but also an invasion of personal privacy.
At the same time, the lawyer said that the man had the obligation to return the mobile phone, and if he refused to return it, it was an act of embezzlement, and the owner could sue the court to return it. If the owner has lost the mobile phone, and the value of the mobile phone is more than 5,000 yuan, it can constitute the crime of embezzlement, and the owner can file a criminal private prosecution in the court to investigate the criminal responsibility of the encroacher. At the same time, the mobile phone should also be properly kept before returning, and if the mobile phone is damaged or lost due to intentional or gross negligence, the man shall bear the corresponding legal responsibility.
The most helpless thing for netizens in this incident was that the police station reacted and expressed their views on the Internet. However, the fact is that the staff of the police station may be based on the consideration of law enforcement authority, and can order the return of the owner, which is indeed not enforceable.
There are more and more moral problems in modern society, and there are many "porcelain" incidents that once plagued the public, but I only believe in Mr. Luo Xiang's sentence "The law is the lowest moral requirement for people". We also need to reflect on our actions in our daily lives. When we find a lost item, can we take the initiative to find the owner and return it?Is it possible to maintain a good heart and not take advantage of the misfortune of others for personal gain?Collecting gold is not only an act, but also a manifestation of quality and cultivation.
