Perhaps not get in trouble per se, but leaving things behind definitely has 
the potential to cause the other train riders a lot of hassle - recently 
someone accidentally left a briefcase on our commuter train, and when 
another rider reported it to the conductor, the train was stopped at the 
next station, everyone evacuated, and had to wait around for over an hour 
for the local police and fire people to bring in a bomb squad to say all was 
ok! Major bummer on the evening commute home.

Between yesterday's tragic events in London, and general fear factor going 
on now, leaving things, even innocent books! in certain types of public 
places might not be the best idea. Sigh.
