What is responsible???
In general I watch people's belongings for them in restaurants, airports, etc. I have asked people to watch my things. Sometimes they were watched and other times not even though the person agreed to watch them, and I was gone only momentarily. In all but one instance, the belongings were there when I came back even if the person wasn't. In that instance I asked someone to hold my monopod while I was taking some photographs. I came back a couple of minutes later, no person, no monopod. It was no where to be found, not even in the lost and found. This was a 40 year old woman who must have taken it home....Go figure. So I guess it comes down to trust and good karma and whether you are willing to lose that which you have entrusted to others. if you are not, don't leave it. Do we have a responsibility? Yes. Is it the best thing for us and others to fulfill that responsibility? Yes. Can we be assured that others feel the same way even if they appear reliable? No. Leaving one's computer for over 2 hours is over the top. he must have had good karma.
