Human Decency.

A lot of this story just isn’t making sense.

Return the watch or give the girl his address so she can squeeze one through his letterbox.
 
Given how bad she must be feeling having lost a father I expect a simple token of returning her property would give her a small boost in the decency of people. Not that this should even be a factor.

Ethics are simple. The golden rule.

I imagine she probably has noticed but by the very act of something being lost does not know where it went.
 
I would call her and offer the watch on the condition of a game of cards. If she wins, she gets her watch back. Loses, and she owes me another watch.
 
The only decent thing to do would be to hand it back. No other option would even cross my mind and it annoys me that people would even entertain the idea of keeping it.

However, let him sell it. It’s going to have an activation lock on it anyway so when a buyer gets it and tries to pair it with their phone they’ll need the original owner’s account info. Let him sell it and get a load of hassle over it like he deserves.
 
If you have found the owner then keeping it is almost theft. I couldn’t associate with someone who would just sell it.
 
How did he manage to look at apps and messages, don't these things require passcodes like the iPhone?

Anyway as your title reads, its human decency to return the item, I just don't understand anyone that would keep something that does not belong to them, especially if they know they can return it, proper scummy low life thing to do if he decides to keep it or sell it on.

If the owner can be traced then I would always try to do that. It is theft to keep it. But more importantly it is morally abhorrent to keep it. If your friend sells it he is a low life. He would get told that with no uncertainty if he were someone I knew.

Somebodys stuff doesn't stop being their stuff just because they have lost it.

If you take somebody elses stuff and "Convert" it (EG use it as your own or try to sell it on) then you have stolen it, even if they had lost it before you found it.

And as I said, theft is a criminal offense and people can and have ended up with criminal records for keeping items that they have found, even after having supposedly been lost.
