Last month I saw a child on the tube leave their weird tablet on the seat as their parent dragged them away.
Should I have kept the tablet? I'd have looked after it better than the child. Before they forgot about it they were mashing it pretty hard. They could break it despite the stupid case on the thing.
I hope you'd suggest give it back to them (don't worry I did - and am still bragging about it to strangers weeks later apparently).
The underlying ethics is the same imo. You shouldn't take stuff from others no matter how they are treating their stuff. It's theirs.
It is still theft however.
