I had a situation a couple of nights ago and had some trouble deciding what to do about it. I will tell you what i did at the end but just wanted your opinions on if i did what was right.
I live in the Dorms ar my University which say they do not allow knives at all in the dorms. Well one night late i went to use the bathroom and i could smell beer from the hall (we have community bathrooms). So when i went into the bathroom their was beer on the floor and a stiletto switch blade on the bathroom counter. I was amazed that a switch blade was just sitting their. I picked it up and started to play with it (as any knifenut would
) and realized they had been using it to shotgun beers and forgot it on the counter. I was puzzled as what to do with it as it wasnt a microtech but not one of the real cheapies. I estimated it to be about a $30 switchblade from what I have seen at some gun shows. I knew who it belonged to because this kid constantly has parties in his room and they were the ones in their shot gunning beers.
This brought me to the point of not knowing what to do. My options were :
1. Give the knife back and give a bunch of drunk kids knife to play with.
2. Keep the knife and add it to my collection (gave it some serious thought ) , but i am not allowed to have simple folders yet a switchblade...
3. Leave the knife in the bathroom to be found by an RA, dorm worker or a student.
4. Give the knife back to the kid in the morning.
5. Throw the knfie away.
Well when i evaluated my options i didnt want to give it back then because i didnt want anyone getting hurt with it. I didnt want to keep the knife because the last thing i need being found in my room is a switch blade (well maybe if it was a Microtech ). I didnt want to leave it in the bathroom because if someone found it I was affreaid they would report it and maybe cause a room search for our hall and seeing as I have a couple of knives already I figured they would blame it on me. I didnt want to wait till morning because i did not want the knife in my room and figured he might do it again. So I wrapped it in paper towels and threw it in the garbage so their would be no trouble. I was wondering what you guys would have done in this situation.
