It certainly is not acceptable...This is not normal. It certainly is not acceptable to any of my German family or to any of our friends. In the US, we have found wallets and returned them. We have left purses in bars and restaurants and the staff held them for us or even called us. However, a babysitter stole my ipod and my camera (including the chip with all the photos) from my apartment in Berlin and it does make me wonder whether there is a difference. And another (formerly) East German stole money. And I wonder if the difference also lies between East and West Germany. Because my husband and his family and all their friends, are honest and decent. But then I decide instead that some people are crap. And I would stay away from them. And I would, in my forthright American way, post what happened to my detergen in a note on thewall in the laundry and ask that the person who stole it revive your belief in German honesty and replaceit with a new box, left on your machine, with your name on it. Because that's how mad I would be.G in Berlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168975470282994167noreply@blogger.com
