Q. Due to the many instances of people during this time of the year that mistakenly may take the coat or jacket of someone else and that may involve prohibitions of stealing and a great waste of time when trying to find the owner that may not even happen. Should one be obliged to always place a tag, label or similar with his name and maybe even how to find him?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it is a very correct and necessary act to do.

Horav Yaakov Hirschman Shlit’a added that one should be especially careful with children’s clothing and gloves.
