#12 - For those of us that have heart problems (including me!) flying would become more of a health risk than it already is!

Here's a twist:
Last year, a neighbor happened to find a wallet laying on the ground at my townhome complex. He left the wallet on the ground, came and told my wife and I about it. When asked why he didn't pick it up and try to find the owner he responded that he didn't want to move it in case the owner came looking for it.

Having had my wallet stolen before, I didn't want the same to happen to the owner of this wallet. Due to the wallet being stuffed with receipts, business cards, etc I had to go through it to find something to ID the owner. I finally found his permit to carry concealed weapons.

I called the local police and asked if they could call the gentleman and let him know we had his wallet. Turned out the wallet owner was a local police officer. He was very appreciative of my having taken the time to track him down. He told me that losing his wallet was one of the things a police officer fears most (aside from being shot).

If you run across one of these "sting" operations, you might want to ask the officer how they would feel if it was their wallet sitting on the ground and no one tried to get it back to them.

Duh!

This is a perfect example of shooting yourself in both feet: you sue your customers thereby alienating the people who you want to buy your product and you waste millions of dollars collecting thousands.

Looks like the record companies are going to destroy themselves through their hubris rather than humble themselves and ask how they can change their business model to fit todays market.

Would that be the World Wide Web?

Seriously, that is one web I wouldn't want to be caught in!
