‘Finders keepers’: Resident fixes bench after neighbors threw it out, only for the neighbors to demand the improved bench back, claiming it was stolen

When we were children, we were taught so many simple rules that as adults years later, we can appreciate as really important life lessons. Even if it was something as simple as - 'treat others like you would want to be treated yourself', or 'honesty is the best policy', we carry those lessons for our entire lives.

Another silly lesson that we all know is 'finders keepers', which might not be the best and most accurate lesson to learn, but is definitely something we should all consider in some cases in life, like when it comes to this Reddit story. A resident found a park bench that was thrown out by his neighbors and decided to fix it up and put it on their front porch. A few days later, the park bench was gone, and the resident found it back in the yard of the neighbors who originally threw it away. So the resident decided to remind his neighbors of the rule of 'finders keepers' by calling the cops to settle the matter.
