Easy. Hand it in to the Police. It's the right thing to do.
I'd give the case to charity so other people can benefit!
Mwahaha! The money is mine! Finders keepers, losers weepers. Suck on that!
I'd keep the money but spend it on family and friends.
Use the money to take Loony Bob and Psychotic out on a date!
Finder finds wallet.
Finder takes money and spends it.
Finder hands in wallet to police.
Police hand wallet to Owner.
Finder discovers the next day that their friend is Owner and Owner is crying their heart out about how they are being evicted from their flat because they lost $200 in their wallet and got their wallet returned but the money had been stolen and now they can't pay their rent.
You find it, good for you. But that doesn't make you any less a common thief if you spend the money.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Someone stole my wallet. It isnt nice ;____;
It fell out my pocket, and a man picked it up, someone saw them and told me.

What if I live in Japan and it's 200 yen?
there was a picture here
Definitely the last option. :rolleyes2
In all seriousness, I would try to contact the person/police.
that's tough...never been faced with this decision so i'm not sure, but i think it really depends on my financial situation, it's sad but if i felt that i needed the money i would keep it
Well, I was faced with returning a lost item (which i really wanted to keep) and keeping it. I kept it and felt so guilty that I couldn't stand it, so I finally returned it to a lost and found area. I think, to avoid guilt, I'd return it.
I've also stolen a car before (and had it in my garage). I also had a guilty conscious, so I figured I should return it. Well, I couldn't find the owners, so I turned it over to the impound. See what an angel I was?
BEHOLD!!! The 88 Plymouth Sundance!!
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.
Take it. Why? Cos I coudl do with 200 euros.
The last words of Oscar Wilde, to the wallpaper in his room - "One of us has to go"
BoB, I wouldn't spend the money right away. I'll just hold onto it if no one is claiming it immediately. Their loss really if I do happen to spend it. And if the owner of the wallet was someone I know, if I have the money, I'll hand it back, all or what's left of the money.
But really, how would the police find the owner of the wallet if there's no form of identification/contact information?
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
I'm greedy, the coins are mine. Notes are too big and would weigh on my conscience. But i'd nick the coins and hand the rest in at the station or at the nearest shop.
I'd keep it.
If I came across a bag of 500 000$ I'd turn it in.
But 200$ it's mine
MINEEEE
moral question? Yeah there's probably one in there. I'd answer differently if I had to defend it with moral arguments. The above behaviour I can't justify logically.
Oh my god. Giving it to the police is no good. I'd rather give it to charity.
Also, I would first make sure that I was not on some hidden camera show. My brother found a 1000 kr bill (700 dollars) on the ground, and he bought tons of toys and candy for it. He was 12 at the time, so who could blame him. If I found it while hanging out with friends, I'd totally buy everyone a meal or a big ice cream, depending on the amount of money.
Is it 200 dollars or euro? That might be a big enough difference to persaude my decision.
...
I'd kid myself into not feeling guilty by spending the money on new hospital beds for the elderly patient ward at my local krankenhaus.
