Title says it all, but I will explain.
I own a motel, any items left after checkout are considered ours. Obviously, high value items we hold for a couple weeks incase anyone comes back for them.
Back in february I had a guest who was living in a room for about 6 months. His rent was due, but no one heard from him. We put a lock on his door that needs a special key to remove and allow access to the doorknob/ lock.
We left his room as is for a week, unpaid, which we normally do not do.
After a week went by with no word from him we cleaned out his room. His clothes, toiletries, etc. went into the attic. He had a 46 inch dlp with a blown bulb and a slim ps3 with a few games and blu rays along with some various electronics.
I took all the electronics to my house and held onto them for two months. After that, I tossed them all except the tv and ps3. Waited another month and still never heard from him.
So 3 months go by and i plug the ps3 in for the first time and start looking through the game saves/pics and stuff on hard drive. Nothing to indicate a child owned or used it, some really , really bad hip hop, club pics and nothing of importance so I wiped it.
After I wiped the hdd I started letting my 8 yr old daughter use it but am afraid to log it onto the psn for fear that it may have been stolen prior to my acquisition of it. Iirc there was no psn ID on the system previously.
So, do I bite the bullet and hook it online and risk it being flagged as a stolen machine? Would I be liable for its theft even though I got it legally?
Or have I been worried about nothing for 10 months?
