This is mind boggling.
True, dat.
Don't call the police, let them deal with actual consequential crime.
Well, it's easily argued that a crime has been committed, as many have pointed out.
While you are at it make sure you make a sizeable donation to the PTA for being a ridiculous self entitled person.
Entitled in what way, exactly? Enquiring minds want to know.

School has apparantly taken legal advice and has now contacted me to say that they will be returning the £20. Quite why they needed to take 'legal advice' to realise that they were in the wrong staggers me...
Result! Someone obviously had a quiet look at themselves in the mirror and came up wanting.
But not wanting £20 that someone else was entitled to.

Just read through this article on Flipboard and I thought it might make interesting reading carrying on from this thread:

Fascinating read, thanks for that.
I'm curious as to how "Under Japanese law, if the owner claims the object, then they are obliged to pay the finder a reward of between five and 20 percent of the item's value" works with things like credit cards, though. Presumably there's no reward as there's no material value?
Good point, and one that doesn't seem to be covered; actually, as I was writing that it occurred to me that there probably wouldnt be a reward because the card would be cancelled immediately and would have no intrinsic value.
Interesting that the system probably wouldn't operate if they had a higher crime-rate, because there wouldn't be enough police available to do it.

Legal advice - the last refuse of the morally bankrupt ???
I wonder how much school money was wasted paying for legal advice.
Even the schools administrator would have spent about 2 hours dealing with this.. That's gotta be worth £20.
What an epic waste of time and resources on the schools part.

Nothing; they'd have rung the LEA.
Called the LEA? Are there any schools left that aren't academies?
Probably did call a legal team who said that handing the £20 back would be best as appearing in the papers might bring unwanted scrutiny on what the chain were doing with much bigger sums of money. 😉
