Question
Hello! After the neighborhood sale, I found a single egg in the bags where I packed my purchases, even though I didn't order eggs. The most likely assumption is that during the collection of products, an egg from another order fell into my bag. This is also what the person in charge of the sale thinks, whom I asked. The question is whether I need to post a lost and found notice about it: On one hand, it is possible that the egg fell into my bag before the owner knew about it, and therefore their subsequent despair does not exempt me from returning it. On the other hand, it is possible that due to the low value of the egg, the person who lost it might be embarrassed to ask for it even if they see my notice, and there might be forgiveness here. Thank you in advance!!
Answer
Hello
It is sufficient to post a notice in the area.
If the person who ordered does not come forward, it is considered forgiveness.
