Reply To: What would you do?

Syag Lchochma: You said, “see this is the part that gets really annoying. NOBODY said not to return the keys, NOBODY said to leave someone at a loss.” (SL)

There was no property lost here to return. His housekey was in his door. The keys were hanging. It would not have been appropriate for me to remove the keys from his property.

You know what, this is silly. I can just ask him what he would have preferred that I do yesterday. I do not want to give him my phone number and do not want his phone number. He has guys over sometimes and I don’t want to open up any doors here. I think that I just heard him leave his house.

Anyway. Whenever I see him next, I will say something about it. And/or ask my other neighbor what she thinks that I should have done. She would have no problem knocking on doors. She used to be part of the HOA, has lived here for a relatively long time (almost two decades), is married, and the most talkative of the neighbors. She is my go-to person here.

Thank you
