Sample Answers

What would you do if you found lost property? If I found lost property, I would try to locate the owner by asking around or checking for any identification on the item. If that didn't work, I'd turn it in to the local lost and found or the police station. I think it's the right thing to do because the owner might be really attached to the item and be worried about losing it.

Would you tell the police if you found an item of lost property? Yeah, I would definitely report it to the police if I found something valuable or important, like a wallet or a phone. The police have the resources to track down the owner, and it's their job to handle lost and found items. Plus, it's always better to be safe than sorry, and reporting it to the police can help prevent any potential problems.

Have you ever lost something? Oh, yeah, I've lost my keys a few times, and once I even lost my favorite jacket. It was really frustrating, but I learned to be more careful and organized. I think losing something can be a good learning experience, and it teaches you to appreciate what you have and be more responsible.

Would you post on social media if you ever lost something? I'd probably post on social media if I lost something really important or sentimental, like a family heirloom or a favorite item. Social media can be a great way to spread the word and reach a lot of people quickly. Plus, it's easy to share a post with friends and family, and they can help share it too.
