I honestly do believe, that if I picked up a pet, that looked cool, or had great stats... and nobody could prove it was theirs... I wouldn't give it back.
Why should I? It could just be someone lying, and you never really know.
This may seem callous, but I don't believe the pound is for transfering. I've transferred all of once.
And it worked. (oddly just last weekend...), but it was the scariest moment of my neopets life!
I was terrified i'd lose my pet. Because to be honest, I doubt anyone would have given him back (even though he is a halloween cybunny).
Anyways, this has gotten rather off topic to what it's supposed to be.
Mrph.
Evisceration is a sign of respect.
