Question
Hello! We have a center in the seminary where materials for teaching, etc., are taken. There is a box with forgotten stationery, and we were informed that it is ownerless property. This year, I mistakenly took a pen home from this box. Only now, after the year has ended, I returned the pen, and the class above us is no longer in the seminary. It is possible that the girl whose pen it is either from my age group, still in the seminary, or from the class above, who has already finished the seminary. Could it be that the girl would be concerned about this and would return to look for her pen? What should I do with the pen? Just return it to the center? Thank you very much!
Answer
Hello and blessings
Since it was announced that what is left there is ownerless, you can keep the pen for yourself.
