Multiple Choice

[Shoe Store] Larry owns a store that sells a variety of men's accessories, including shoes, wallets, briefcases, and belts. While shopping in Larry's store, Ed placed his wallet on a shelf so he could look at a particular pair of shoes. When Ed walked away, he forgot to pick up the wallet and left the store without it. Another customer, Susan, noticed the wallet on the shelf a few minutes later. She hadn't seen Ed leave it there, and brought the wallet to Larry at the front counter. Larry thanked her and set the wallet aside, meaning to put it in the back office for safekeeping. However, before he could secure the wallet, Larry was distracted by a phone call. Another customer, Scott, saw the wallet on the counter, took it, and left the store. Once outside, Larry opened the wallet and looked through it. When Larry realized that the wallet contained nothing but two dollars and an expired library card, he tossed the wallet on the ground in disgust and walked away. Five minutes later, Olivia, a passerby, noticed the wallet on the ground. She decided to keep it for herself, so she picked up the wallet and took it home.
