Money, Money, Money!

[Owen Macwere]

As $200 doesn't count alot where I live, then I will drop it back on the ground and walk my way. I know that's not an option, but that's what I'd probably do.

[Pete for President]

I'd spend on family and friends I guess. Probably some rounds of beer and a present for my mum. yup.

Anyone who thinks that the police would make ANY effort to return money to someone who doesn't have ID is nuts. That just won't happen. They'd keep it for themselves and buy donuts or something.

If I found the wallet, I'd wait around to see if anyone came back for it. But if they didn't, I'd take it and use it to pay for my bills.

I've lots money plenty of times (not my wallet, actual bills that fell out from my pockets and stuff) and I don't curse the person who might have found the money. It's like, "Crap, this sucks. Oh well."

If I lost my entire wallet, credit cards, ID, and everything. Then I would hope that someone would turn it in somewhere and I can get it back. And if someone finds it and doesn't turn it in, they are a stupid cow. But just a wallet, no ID, and just the money? Taking that is nowhere near the same thing, especially if you make some sort of effort to look around and see if anyone could have potentially dropped it, or wait to see if someone comes back for it.

Handing it over to the police is useless. Might as well give it to charity if you're gonna give it away.

If it were a larger sum of money, like $500+, then it'd be a bigger deal.

$200 = This sucks.
$500+ = omg, panic.

There's a big difference.

I'd take the money (you know, for poker nights and stuff) and hand the wallet in to the police, stating clearly that it was empty when I found it.

[exit60b]

I would hand it in to the police, but would have thoughts on what i would spend it on if i did keep the wallet... but then i would feel like a jerk and just hand it in to the police to repent for the previous thought... haha

[NorthernChaosGod]

Middle option, I need a new guitar amp.

[licence]

I'd spend it.

[Jimmy Dark Aeons Slayer]

I would deliver it to the police and then they would spend it for me.

[Anaisa]

I wouldn't hand it in anywhere. I know somebody would take the money anyway, so I'd keep it myself.

Recently a friend and I found 125$ blowing around in the middle of the street at about 11:30pm. He saw it first and started running for it earlier, which led to him getting 105$ and I only nabbed 10$

Anyways, the people we *think* dropped it were two fellows on bikes we saw before we went into McDonalds, when we came back out the guys were no where in sight and the money was everywhere on the road.

I spent the money, but only because I couldn't find the owner.

Last week in the mall near my home I saw a guy drop a five-dollar bill, since he was only two feet away I returned it.

In all situations, if I can reach the owner I'll return the money, if not I'll spend away.

[Giga Guess]

And of course I missed the no ID part. I'd keep it. I could use it.

[Leeza]

Hand it in to the police. All the other options are stealing and if no one claims it after a certain period of time, you get it for yourself anyway.

This is what I would do. You fill out all of the pertinent paperwork when giving it to the police so they are not going to go spend it on donuts. I don't know what sort of police system you have in California, Miriel, but if the money isn't claimed by someone in 30 days out here, it's then mine legally.

[daggertrepe]

Hand it to the police. It's wrong to steal wallets. :rolleyes2

[Rengori]

If they wanted to keep their money they would have held on to their wallet better.

[Jowy]

I'd return the money. If it were a smaller amount,and not in someone's wallet, say only $5, I'd probably keep it though.
