I lost a wallet with over $200 in it one time during my freshman year in college. It was a Monday, and I had just come home on Sunday night and after my 8:00 class I was going to ride my bike (my only transportation outside of friends) to my bank and make a deposit. When I arrived in my room after my class to drop off my books, I realized my wallet was gone. I was unbelievably pissed off. Granted, $200 lost isn't the end of the world, but for me as a freshman in college with no income, it was a pretty big fucking blow. I retraced my steps and didn't find it. I stopped in to the department's office of the wing where I lost my wallet and at least notified them and left my name an number in vain.
Two hours later, a professor from the department called me and said that he was in the classroom the hour after mine and someone had come up and given him the wallet and said someone in the class prior (since 8:00 is the first class of the day) probably dropped it.
I was unbelievably relieved and unimaginably grateful that one person out there did the right thing.
It's appalling to me to meet people who can't understand the difference between right and wrong. It sounds to me like you already know what the "right" answer is, and you are just hoping someone on this forum will convince you to steal the Ipod. Trust me, help find the owner, and return the Ipod to them. The gratitude on their face and the thanks you will receive will do a lot more for you than an Ipod will. Besides, it sounds like you might need a little morale reinforcement in your life. Nothing will give that to you. Noone will walk up and tap you with a wand. You must look to yourself to make decisions of morality. Hopefully you will make good ones.
Good Luck.
