This is my proudest thing I have done to date!!

I was 14 and out with a group of girls and lads from my school... It wasn't too late, I went to the phone box (to call my Mum!!) and found a wallet, with 70 pounds cash!! After the initial excitement, of how we would spend it, I looked through it and found a list (It was late November and clearly a Christmas present list)
What made me take notice was the writing... It was spidery and clearly written by an elderly person.
My first thought was that It was something they had planned and saved for.
I convinced my friends and we handed it in ( the police station was directly opposite!)

Although it di pi** me right off that we didn't even get so much of a thanks, but I reckon that my good deed was done! And that's why my life is so good now..... Good Karma and all that!!

last February we had friends over, they Left and my partner and I went for a walk. On our way back home, right outside our door my partner picked up an envelop with a name on it and threw it in the bin! I screamed and said there could be cash in it, he thought i was joking, anyway i opened it and there was £260 in twenties!!!!! Looked up the road and there was nobody there, no one walked past for a while so we spent it!!! I always pick up more than twenty pounds each year, guess I'm just lucky like that, and there is never anyone around at the time either!!! I think that if i did find a wallet with money on the other hand then i would return it or report it to the police.

Back in the early 70's, when I was a wee little lass, I was walking out of the local shop in the pouring rain, when I picked up soaked notes, it came to £140, a lotta money then, and I handed it to the shopkeeper.
turns it it was the bread delivery man takings for that day, and the mean sod didn't even give a reward or say thank you!

I found a wallet in our local supermarket last Christmas, it had a huge wad of money in it but I have no idea how much, I handed it in to customer services, a couple of hours later I got a phone call from the guy who's wallet it was, he was really grateful and told me I was an angel as the money in his wallet was for his kids Christmas presents, he left flowers and chocolates with customer services for me, glad I picked it up and handed it in before someone else did, how awful if his kids hadn't go their pressies.

£17 and some change in a purse, but I found it right outside a Police Station so I thought it might be wise to hand it in.

£700+ stuffed in a carrier bag in the larder when I was helping clear out a friends dads house after he had died.

Yes I gave it straight to him - he was amazed. 3 months later he gave me £500 to go on holiday with "for my honesty" as he did not know it was there either.

£5, no hardly worth it really was it.

I have found £80 at home though, i'd put it in a glasses case in my wardrobe so I wouldn't spend it, then forgot about it and found it about a year later :)
