If I found that amount of money somewhere, I'd leave it be, in hopes that if that ever happened to me, someone else would return the favor.

I call bull shit.

call it what you want.

I got something called ethics and honor that you might not be familiar with

Use it to fund a microloan so someone in a developing country can buy seeds or equipment.

In the end you're helping someone, growing the money and will make a small return on the investment.

If that's true, you'd be a lot more likely to find the real owner by turning it in somewhere, because 99% of the population sure as hell won't leave it there.

I remember reading an article that NYPD sets up sting operations in the subway. An undercover cop will "drop" their wallet in plain view, and the other hidden officers will wait to see if anyone trys to run off with it. If they do, then the officers move in and make an arrest.

I don't know if they would try that with cash though.

They can't do it with cash. Stealing a wallet that's got an owners ID is completely different than pocketing loose bills.

Who in their right fucking mind wouldn't keep it?
If I found any amount of money sitting on the ground with no identification, I would take it immediately without thinking twice.

Anyone who claims their moral compass is so true to north that they wouldn't take it, is a moron.

i voted ask around who it belongs to and give it to whoever claims it because that's the most retarded option.

 

[Bateluer]

Cash on the street, not in a wallet? That's fair game. Mine now.

 

[ChAoTiCpInOy]

Donate some of it to church and use the rest. By some I mean like 25-30%.

If you are like me and you have a list of things you want to buy, keep it. If you don't really need anything donate it to somewhere.

 

[tfinch2]

Buy a pair of jeans.

Step 1: Pick up money.

Step 2: Open wallet, insert money.

Step 3: What money?

Shit, I'll be honest and say that I have a pretty good moral standing on lost property. But I also have a severe distrust in others, and shit... I know my double view on morals, so I know what others will be thinking.
Loose change, no matter the amount, is mine. Anything with identification on it, then no, I'll make an attempt to return it. No way to identify? Even if a couple g's... mine. I might make a stop at a nearby police station if its a couple thousand, but I'd be cautious in my explanation, and wouldn't turn it in or even state I have it. I'd question if anyone has come in looking for lost money of that amount. And probably leave a contact of some sort.

And that's also one reason I don't like dealing with cash of my own. And if I lost cash, I would basically just forget about it, and if worth a lot, make a stop at a police station but never expect anything. Also, I'd never expect anyone passing cash to leave it, and thus if I saw it... might as well claim it as mine, because the next guy is going to want it, and quite possibly a few will be looking at it as a chance to score their next fix.

Fuck donating to churches. If you REALLY want to donate, go find a homeless shelter and give it to the first guy that shows an act of kindness.

Yea, because no church groups operate soup kitchens and homeless shelters :roll:

I'd keep it and then donate some somewhere.
Otherwise, leaving it would just have someone else take it and spend it. Asking around is pointless since people would just lie, and it's not enough to take to police station.
