[pct-l] Found Glasses

[Fritz Ward]

And speaking of what to do with found things:  someone left their glasses in the cooler at the Team Turtle Water and Fruit Cache near Silverwood Lake.  I left them where I found them, in the ziplock bag that contains the register, but I would be happy to try to reunite them with the owner,

Which brings up a question about found things on the trail.

Is it best to:

1) Assume the owner is nearby and leave them there?
2) assume they have been abandoned and take them, if you want them?
3) assume they are lost, and take them hoping to find the owner later?

Does it depend on the item? A full backpack: the owner is nearby. A
camera: the item was lost. A half-used bottle of sunscreen: the item was
abandoned?

If an item was lost, the owner may have discovered the loss and is going
back to find the item. If you are carrying it, he may not find you. Or
you may save him several miles of backtracking. Or the owner may be
oblivious to his loss and making time 10 or more miles up the trail.

Thoughts?
