The music I am keeping off of the thing I was going to be getting for free anyway, from a friend, or I had bought before. He was going to let me borrow a lot of his cd's, and all of the albums I am keeping from the Ipod he was going to let me borrow.

Yeah, that reminds me of this time that I didn't steal something. You see, I was a bit hard up on some cash and decided that I would rob the local bank. Then, on the way to the bank I walked past this old lady pulling some money out of the ATM and as she went to put it in her purse I yanked it out of her hand and ran off. I mean, that wasn't stealing right? I was going to get the money by robbing the bank anyway.

I was thinking something along these lines. Just because you were going to steal it from another source, doesn't mean that the stealing in this instance is OK.
My house burnt down about 3 months ago. I lost every CD and DVD that I had owned previously. Could I go and jack them off of someone else's iPod or computer? Yes, I could. Will I? Most certainly not. With how cheap CDs are, especially used ones, I don't mind buying them again.
And, just out of reference, we're talking about 1100 CDs and 250-300 DVDs.

I remember a few months back some kid left his mp3 player in one of locker rooms at the hockey arena I work at. I was cleaning out the locker rooms and I found it. I brang it to the arena office and they put in the lost and found.

No big story right, because there shouldn't be. I'm only 17 y/o. You'd figure I'd just keep the mp3 player for myself right. But I didn't even have to think of what to do with the mp3 player, I just brang it to my boss right away.

You wouldn't believe how many things get left behind at my work. Mp3 players, watches, rings, bracelets, etc.

One lady must've lost her engagement ring while watching her kid play hockey, she came back like a week or two later and asked if we found a ring. She described the ring perfectly, we looked through the lost and found and there it was. You wouldn't believe how shocked/happy/relieved she was that she found it.

Meh, you and your morals ;P Its just material, its not like you stole his soul. Anyway, id return it, especially because he has a really great music taste =) I say, try to find the real owner, but keep it till then.

He should return it because he knows the school and has the name. But if I found it on the street with no name, I'm keeping it. Also with money no matter where you find it ( with a moral exception of course ie: if you went looking for it or were aware of it being lost) keep it. I remember when I was young I found 5$ on my school floor. The school was always saying if you find money you bring it in. Well I brought it in and guess what the vice principal just puts it in her desk drawer and I never hear about it again so I just screwed myself out of five bucks. Money has no name and unless somebody can describe something about the bill and prove that it's theirs then I'm not giving it back. Same thing happens in the cafeteria if you find 20$ on the floor you can't just say "hey, anybody lose some money" because you have everybody claiming it.
