A British tourist riding on the worst metro line left her (expensive) phone on the seat and went behind the seat to look at the metro map. Even stayed there while the doors were open and at least me and three more people could have easily snatched it and left. I don’t think the subway in the UK is much better so not sure what she was thinking.
I was on a train in sweden, and at a stop this guy just went and forgot his phone (no backpack or any kind of things left, just his phone), I tried to hail him but that didn’t work, so I took the phone and raced after him, giving it to him outside the train.
He was talking to someone and was clearly not happy about it all.
Well well, I boarded the train and thought I had at least done a good deed.
Guy comes aboard and rides the train to the next station…
You could probably get away with it in Japan or Korea, too. In Japan, they’d be glaring at you for saving your seat, and in Korea, an old person might sit on your phone or yell at you…but the phone would still be there

Hey maybe he learned not to leave his things like that and it was a good deed in the end
The only place where I’d do this would be in one of those Islamic countries where they cut your hand off for stealing

Cursed but probably rational.
