Im not sure how i would react in this situation, to be honest as has been pointed out your moral fibre is telling you one thing, and in reality you are probably subconcioussly embelishing on the facts to try and justify keeping it.
If what you said was completely true, then i personally would wipe it, jailbreak it and flog it on ebay or to a friend having disposed of the sim, or perhaps as has been suggested i would first take the sim out and give it in to a local police station and claim it after the 90 day period.
Call me a scumbag or think what you like of me, it matters not, i am a good person and a strong believer in karma, people with racist, homophobic or sexist views or who dont respect the elderly and use foul language in a public place deserve a hell of a lot worse than having to file an insurance claim on a lost iphone.
Than I'll call you a scumbag. If you really believed in karma, than you would also believe in the fact that karma would get back on him in a different way. If Topic Starter is going to do things on his own, than he's no better than the person who lost his phone.
Again, if you really believed in karma, than you would also believe in the fact that karma would get back on him. Perhaps he will drop his iPhone in the toilet after Topic Starter returned it to him.
Also, I can see why you think people are scumbag when they are racist/homophoic/agressive/disrespectful, but that last thing "foul language" also very much depends on the place.
A good example is for example to compare the United Kingdom and the United States to other European countries like the Netherlands, Germany or Belgium. While it is completely unacceptable to swear in public in the UK and in some extend the US, and music and TV films and series are 'censored' (beep sound) in both countries, no one in for example the Netherlands really cares when you swear in public. When watching Dutch television, you will hear swearing on a lot of channels and it's just "normal".
So here I get back again to my previous post (not directed to you): you can't expect others to live up to your 'rules', 'regulations' and expectations. Everyone has a different culture and it's not up to you to decide whether or not something is good or bad.
(And again, if you really believe in karma, than YOU do the right thing and karma will do the rest).

Oh so if I heard your course language and didn't like your tone of voice I could just steal something of yours that you left behind? Maybe I'll follow you around and see what comes out of your mouth. I might be driving a new car if your logic is what everyone should do.
Like said 1000x before. Being a d-bag doesn't mean he deserves to have his stuff stolen or broken. Because I am 100% certain that if it was 1 of our phones (for the people that commented on this topic) you would be pissed off too that someone took your phone. No matter what the tone of conversation was, it was not the OP business anyway not was it his property to take. No matter if he cussed out the old lady or even said he was gonna smack down the chick on the phone. IT'S STILL NOT HIS BUSINESS. And don't tell me that if it was any of you that had someone take YOUR phone you wouldn't be livid. Your plain as day lying your butt off.
Just listening to some of the posters here make me embarrassed to respond to some of this. Makes you just as bad as a criminal. Who ever thinks he should wipe the info, smash it, or throw it away. He should have picked it up and gave it to the bus driver and told him a man left it behind. Does not matter if the guy was arrogant or not. Still NOT HIS PROPERTY.

I couldn't agree more with you and it's unbelievable people are actually downvoting your post.
