If someone offer you money for returning something they lost, would you take it?

Question

ok today In P.E. when I opened my P.E. locker inside the locker room, I found a bracelet and a note that said:

"Hey. I'am sorry to bother you but my bracelet droped in your locker.. can you please call me at this # ( a phone number) I will give you $30 if you return it. PLZ! thanks!
-liandra "

I think it must be so valuable to her that she offered $30 if i return it!!!

Anyway, so when I got from school, I called her and I told her I found her bracelet and we agreed to meet at school infront of her first period class so I could return it to her.

NOW! my question is: IF she offered me money for reutrning it, should I take it???

would it be rude if I did??

hmm I am not returning her bracelet for the money ( I would have returned it to her anyway.............. but I am broke and I do need the money...)

so should I take it?

It's probably very valuable to her because it's a "REAL GOLD" bracelet with her name craved on it! with gold too!

Hmm I have 7 yes and 6 No so far

Answer 1

No don't take the money. Something else good will come your way in life....when you really need it. It is called karma....what comes around goes around! When you do good things in life.....good things will happen to you in return.

Answer 2

A deed done with a good heart is just that, done with heart. The only reward one should need is to know that what belonged to another and was lost, was returned to them.

It all rests in your heart on if you should take the money or not even though you may be broke, it may lead to you comming into money and in a better way than takeing it from this girl.

When god closes one door, he opens two others. This is just another way of those doors opening for you.

By the way, its good to know that you wouldnt keep the bracelet for yourself. Sentimental things are so hard to replace and by returning this one, you may be giving back a good thing that no amount of money could replace. Its not the money value of the bracelet that may be important to her.

Answer 3

I don't think that it would be rude at all to take the money if she offers it. You can tell her that its not necessary to give you the money, since you would have given the bracelet back anyway. If she says, are you sure, say yes. And if she insists again, then you can take it and make sure to thank her. Hope this helps!

Answer 4

It's only $30, I wouldn't take it, since you said you would have returned it anyway. But if she insists then go ahead, since you're broke. Remember, good karma. Good things you do, come back to you, would you want to pay someone everytime they did something good??

Answer 5

Don't take money for doing a good deed. You're better than that. You don't need to be paid for doing the right thing.

Answer 6

on the prospect of sounding like a heartless piece of snot... no. except the advantages is very extreme, it may no longer make a distinction. publish flyers or something and in case you prefer, grant a reward, yet personnaly, i does not.

Answer 7

Because she already offered you the $Money it would be rude and she may be offended if you do not accept it..... She is just showing her gratitude to you for returning it..... Please accept the $Money with a clear conscience!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

I think your momma taught you better than that, and any ways would you like it if the shoe was on the other Foot?

Answer 9

Do the right thing and return it, why would you want to keep something that does not belong to you, get your priorities straight.And don't accept the money it would be very wrong.

Answer 10

YOU ALREADY KNOW THE RIGHT THING TO DO SO BE A GOOD CLASS MATE AND MAKE A FRIEND IN THE PROCESS
