What action should a driver take if they find lost property?

When a driver encounters lost property, the appropriate action is to report it and adhere to the company's lost property policy. This approach ensures that the lost item is handled ethically and legally. Reporting the found property helps in reuniting it with the rightful owner and demonstrates responsibility on the part of the driver. Additionally, following the company’s policy provides a structured method to deal with such situations, ensuring compliance with legal and corporate guidelines.

Keeping the property for personal use would be unethical and could potentially lead to legal issues as it constitutes theft. Returning the property to the passenger immediately may not always be viable since clarifying ownership might be necessary, especially if there are disputes. Disposing of the item if unclaimed neglects the duty to attempt to return it to its rightful owner and may violate local laws or company policies regarding lost property.
