Ok, so I have two moral questions for you. Sort of a “what is the right thing to do” or “what would you do” kind of questions. Oh, and I'll tell you how these turned out in real life….
1. You go to the grocery store. You buy a large number of groceries, all kinds of things. Among your items are two 1 liter jars of purple grape juice. You carry everything in their plastic bags out to your SUV, placing things on the floor of the back of your SUV. When you get home, you notice that the unsecured bags have been rolling around in the back of your vehicle, and both jars of grape juice have broken, staining the light tan colored interior or your SUV. Subsequent cleaning bills mount to the tune of $120 (CDN).
Is this the fault of the grocery store that packed the plastic bags or the person loading them in an unsecured manner in the back of the SUV?
2. You are driving past a B&B in a residential neighborhood. An oncoming car pulls over to the side, two people, a man and a woman, leap out of the car, grinning madly. The run through the front yard of the B&B, start ripping up flowers and plants out of their beds. When they've collected enough tulips and daffodils they run back to the car, pursued by the owner of the B&B – who looks like he's in his 80's – and is waving his rake in the air.
Now, you've noticed that you went to high school with the plant pilferers, and you notice the make of the car and the name on the vanity license plate. Do you give this information (and their names) to the B&B owner?
