Hypothetical question just to test the waters. Guy goes to buy some gas. On his way to the counter to pay, he picks up a newspaper. The newspaper seems thick but it’s a Sunday so the guy just thinks the newspaper is thick because of all the extra sections you always get in Sunday newspapers. He pays for the paper and goes home. Much later in the day (he doesn’t look at the newspaper straight away) he discovers that some of the “extra sections” are in fact parts of an extra newspaper he didn’t know was there (i.e. some of the sections were duplicated). What should he do about it (use the poll options to reply).
 
pay extra the next time or at the very least tell the owner what happened.

you didn’t steal anything just let the owner decide what to do, or bring it back
 
Unless it was another whole paper, there’s nothing to be done, as stores do not sell parts of the newspaper.

Just let it go.

It was a trifle to start with and whoever bought the " incomplete " paper will be long gone. So the problem can’t be " fixed " anyway. The case would be different if he had found something valuable within the folded paper. But that would be a new issue. 👍
 
The extra parts probably happened at the print shop of the newspaper. Therefore, it has nothing to do with the store owner being out money or another customer being out of parts of the paper. I think the only action - if one is even necessary - is to email the newspaper to let them know of the error.

It could also be the newsagent’s fault - my local newsagent gets the different parts of the newspaper delivered in different bundles and the newsagent has to put them together to gorm complete isues. Perhaps the employee at the newsagent made a mistake putting them together.
 
Make sure you RECYCLE! The Earth is counting on YOU. That’s what you do.
 
Like others have said, what is the store going to do with part of a paper?
