It's a shame someone lost something because they didn't act responsibility to protect the item. Always told anyone visiting or working in New York City to remember 3 rules: If you see something going down ignore it, if a street does not look safe it probably isn't and avoid it and don't look at people in the eye as it might be viewed as threatening. In this case if you think leaving something in the restroom, shower room, etc and believe it may be at risk it probably is and therefore don't do it. All of this is just "common sense".
