This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
This couple that was in the same train as me, left their seats to change the diaper of their little baby.
Not only did they go away from their luggage, but they left two phones and a large tablet visible and unattended for quite some time!
Sleep deprivation can make people do stupid things. Also a baby can sometimes demand all your attention so you forget everything else.
It's nice that this turned out to be a safe situation!
(And also that there wasn't a bomb in those bags, just possibly a used diaper.)
How chaotic are peoples lives in other countries. From a lot of these comments it sounds like there must be thieves and terrorists everywhere.
Kind of depends on where you are in other countries. If you’re in a crowded major metro area, stuff gets stolen. My office has three badged doors, and once a year someone ghosts in behind an employee and jacks a bunch of laptops.
The social safety net in many countries is shit, so people get desperate and try to make ends meet by selling your shit.
Yeah, my home country isn't exactly known for being safe from theft. But where I grew up, it was pretty normal for people to just leave stuff outside since everyone knew everyone. I rode motorbikes a lot and I rarely put it in the garage. I mostly just left it unlocked, unless it was overnight. Similar during college and stuff but only inside the campus. Outside was a metro area, and there will be thieves.
I think it's directly proportional to the number of disenfranchised and homeless people. There's a severe lack of support from the government, so I can't even blame them in good conscience.
Seen this plenty of times in the US, people leave their purses and stuff unattended in shopping carts etc
Visiting Korean friends and they do the same
There are trustworthy and untrustworthy places in every country. If your train is safe, you're lucky to be there. If it's a couple of drunk idiots that fell asleep in the bathroom, do them a favor and watch their stuff until they wake up.
It’s a trap, they took their other device and will beat the piss out of them when they use “find my phone” or whatever. They’re stuck on a train with them until the next stop…
You would have to be an absolute muppet to steal an electronic device (or anything since AirTags exist) on a still moving prison.
