WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“You know very well you should have turned it in; you were caught red-handed trying to keep it.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Civic Responsibility of Property Security (Bao'an)

In residential complexes in China, security guards (保安) are expected to demonstrate integrity by turning in lost property (拾金不昧); pocketing residents' belongings severely damages the management company's credibility.
