Where did common courtesy go?

While I was running today, I noticed a pair of glasses in the middle of the street. I picked them up as I noticed some people had just walked by and thought that they had dropped them. When I approached the two (a nurse taking her patient for a walk), the nurse said that the glasses weren’t hers and they had seen them in the street.

OK, that’s fine, but leaving the glasses in the street to get crushed? I saw that there was a box for underground telephone lines, so I set the glasses on the box hoping that someone will come back and find them. At least by putting them there, the owner has half a chance of recovering non-broken glasses. Why the nurse didn’t pick up the glasses and do the same thing I did, I have no idea.
