I hit a box this weekend and in it was someone else's stamp and pad. The owners things were there but someone else added their own.
Is this fair? Should the owner be told? Or is it none of my business lol.
I think I would be upset if someone placed their stuff in my box. But than again I am extremely new and if it's the way things are than I would not be upset.

That's called a hitchhiker.
You sign the hitchhiker into the box where you found it (if it isn't
already)
Then you take it with you.
You sign into the hitchhiker.
You find another box it will fit in and sign it into that box and leave it
there for someone else to find.

Hey Now, Heather!
What you most likely found is a "Hitch Hiker":

on the obsession. Maddening, ain't it? :D

I think once you place something in the wild, it is no longer yours.
JMHO, of course.

It was probably a hitchhiker, and that is all part of the game. Please look "hitchhiker" up on the website.
