    Default Money, Money, Money!

    Time for another Poll! This one is a morality question.

    You're walking down the street when you see a wallet lying around. There is no else on the street. You pick up the wallet, open it and oooooh! There is £200 in the wallet! (Or $200 for you Americans, or 200 euros for all you other Europeans Or... convert into your own currency if you are neither a Brit, American or European )

    Now, obviously, this cash is not yours. You look inside for contact information on whose wallet it could be and there's nothing. So what do you do? Do you go to the police and hand it in as lost property? Do you wait around on the street for a while longer and hope someone comes back for it?

    Or do you use the money your own way? Do you donate the cash to charity? Or do you go on a spending spree and waste the cash on the best charity cause there is: Yourself!

    I would donate the cash to charity because that way it's going to a good cause. If I handed the cash to police, the cops might spend it on themselves. This way, my consience (<--- don't know how to spell that word) is clear

    Over to you...

    I will bury it somewhere and draw a treasure map so that future generations can go on an adventure looking for it.

    I'd spend it on my friends. I wouldn't spend it on myself because I already spend too much money on myself... my friends spend too much money on me, too. Also, I've lost a wallet before and never had it returned—therefore not wanting to turn it in due to lost faith in the system.

    It's mine now - I'll do as I see fit, whatever that implies.

    Life isn't fair, and I got lucky at that moment, so I'm taking that rare occassion.

    Whether or not I spend it on my family or friends... Not sure, but what I do know is that I would take it and eventually spend it.

    I would have no qualms concerning my decisions.

    Deliever to the police probably would be the right optin but i don't really know if they would deliver the money to the person... But if I'd get insane and kept the money I'd give it to charity

    I know the right thing to do would be turn it in, so, I like to think I'd do that.

    I'd hand it in to the appropriate area (police or lost and found), money and all.

    I would give it to the police/receptionist/etc, provided it wouldn't involve too much time and effort from my part.

    What kind of wallet doesn't have ID? Pfft. If it had ID I'd return it but if it didn't $200 isn't worth the effort, so I'd keep it.

    Anyone who says they'd turn it into the police is either a liar or Loony BoB.

    Hand it into the police. First i'd see if the wallet has any clues on contact information.

    Many thanks Christmas!

    200 dollars is a lot of money, so I would hand it in to the police.

    If there's no one to claim the wallet and money, then the money is mine. The wallet, however, I'll likely turn that in the lost and found.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.
