If you found a wallet (no identification for the owner) with plenty of cash what would you do and why?

Answer 1

Thanks God.

Answer 2

Note the amount of cash within. Turn in the wallet to the police with all the cash. Wait. If nobody claims it after a period of time, I would most likely get to claim the cash. Depending on the amount, I would keep some, spend some and donate the rest to charity.

Answer 3

Take the cash and if there's anything else in it like cards and whatever, I'd give it to the police station. They could call the owner to pick it up.

I had my wallet stolen once. I didn't really care about the cash but it's a freaking hassle to get the cards reissued.

Answer 4

I once found an envelope in a drugstore within the cards full of money (big bills). There was a women next to me looking at the cards I stood beside her with the envolope in hand being ate with guilt over wanting so badly to keep it. The women walked away and then came back I asked her what she was looking for and she said an envelope so I handed her the envelope full of money. It never dawned on me that she was buying a card maybe she just forgot the envelope to put it in. Guilt keeps me from ever keeping someone elses property. If it was mine I would want it returned.

Answer 5

Honestly, I would take the wallet to the nearest police station, and let them deal with it. I am just that kind of person. My conscience gets the best of me when I do something wrong. I can't handle it. Besides, around here, if no one claims it within 3 months, the money goes to the person who found it.

Answer 6

I would do the right thing and turn it in to the police. If no one claims it in a given amount of time, it is yours. Or so I am lead to believe. Probably never happen.

Answer 7

I would keep it and post in the paper that i had it and then they would have to describe what it looked like if it turned up to be someones i would return it if not then i would think of it as a blessing and use it in a good way.

Answer 8

If it develop right into a wallet or a handbag then morally i ought to have accessible it in even if skint i develop into. There ought to continually be a reward! If it develop into merely money on the floor then there ought to be no way of tracing who it belonged to so i ought to be tempted to save it.

Answer 9

If I trust the lost and found or security department, I'd hand it over since if I was the one who lost it, I'd like it returned too. If I don't trust them, I'd keep it, tell them I found it (but not show it) and have the owner contact me directly.

Answer 10

i'll give it to church or some charity organisation. i wouldn't want to keep any of it because it not mine. i wouldn't give it to the police because if there is no identification then i don't see how htey will trace the person and woudl end up keeping it for themselves. (at least in India they woudl)

Answer 11

take it to the police. if there's no ID inside, people would have a harder time proving it's theirs, so i'd have an easier time getting it after the 30 days (or however long the wait is)
