Recently, a news story about a man who was ordered to pay full compensation after losing a phone he had found has drawn public attention. The incident began when the man picked up a lost smartphone in a public place. Legally, he should have returned it to the owner or handed it over to the police. Instead, he failed to do so promptly and later accidentally lost the phone himself while in his possession. After the owner reported the case, the court ruled that as the finder, the man had a legal duty to properly safeguard and promptly return the lost item. His failure to fulfill this obligation—resulting in the phone’s loss—constituted an infringement of the owner’s property rights, warranting full compensation at the phone’s original value.Under Article 314 of China’s Civil Code, anyone who finds lost property must return it to the rightful owner and take reasonable care of it until return. If the finder causes damage or loss due to intentional misconduct or gross negligence, they are liable for civil compensation. In this case, the court determined the man acted with gross negligence, thus holding him fully responsible. This case serves as a reminder: returning lost items is not only a moral virtue but also a legal obligation. Upon finding someone else’s belongings, one should immediately contact the owner or turn the item over to authorities to avoid potential legal consequences.
近日，一则关于‘男子捡到手机后又弄丢，被判原价赔偿’的新闻引发社会关注。事件起因是一名男子在公共场所拾得他人遗失的手机，本应依法归还失主或交由公安机关处理，但他却未及时归还，反而在保管期间不慎将手机再次丢失。失主报警后，法院经审理认为，该男子作为拾得人，在拾得遗失物后负有妥善保管并及时返还的法定义务。因其未能履行这一义务，导致手机灭失，构成对失主财产权的侵害，故判决其按手机原价进行赔偿。根据《中华人民共和国民法典》第三百一十四条规定，拾得遗失物应当返还权利人；拾得人在返还前应妥善保管，若因故意或重大过失造成遗失物毁损、灭失，应承担民事责任。本案中，法院认定该男子存在重大过失，因此需承担全部赔偿责任。此案提醒公众：拾金不昧不仅是道德要求，更是法律义务。拾得他人财物后，应及时联系失主或上交有关部门，避免因保管不当而承担法律责任。
