Just found a wallet with £90 in it on the street! Moral dilemma hand it into the police? Or have a proper good night out?

Take out the money and then hand it into the police. Standard procedure.

while this page was loading i wondered how long it would be untill someone thought claiming it was theirs would be funny.

first reply Sad

Anyway.

Its only £90 to you, imagine how chuft they will be to have it given back. Seeing this kind of generosity will give them a new take on life and restore faith in mankind.

happily ever after etc etc..

i drop my wallet once and had £30 in it and it was handed in. Everyone I knew thought that if it had more in it I wouldnt have got it back.

It does make you feel the world is all beautiful again, but it only last a couple of hours....so

Leave the money in and give it back. Dude who's wallet it is earned the dough not you.

I'd pay 90 ANY day for peace of mine and to keep that fucker karma as far away from me as possible.

Your getting karma points by giving it to the police and not chucking it in a bush after taking the money out.

The money removal is also karma points, your teaching the irresponsible twat to look after his property better in future.

hand it in to the police if its not claimed you'll get the cash anyway- you might even get a reward from the owner is there no cards with the owners details

I love how people create threads on Fuk asking whats the right thing to do.

If you dont know without asking someone else you are gonna burn in hell.

there is a couple of things to consider, if there is cards and an addy, post it back to them and keep the dough...if there is nothing keep the dough and bin the wallet, the person will learn and be more careful next time.,

I couldn't keep it if it had an ID or address inside it, it makes it more like you're taking it from a person than you've just found it.

Having said that, the first picture on my Digicam is always 'If found, please call Jack on _____" so what do I know. Laughing out loud

When I was working in Lanzarote last summer, I had a little man bag to keep the money I had from guests who had paid for excursions.

There was around 600 Euro in there one week, and I was leaving one hotel to go to another.

I left it on the table in the hotel, and didnt realise until I got to the next hotel. I absoultly shit myself, ran back to the hotel, only for the manager to say my bag had been handed it. Got it back, expecting the money to be gone, but all 600 Euro was there.

If I had lost it, I would have lost my job for sure. I was over the moon, I went from feeling so utterly shit, to feeling the best I had felt in ages! Took the money straight to pay in the bank, then went and found the person who handed it in, bought them a bottle of wine, and paid for them to go out for a meal that night.

lost my wallet a few years a ago in covent garden whilst having a drink after work, it had 3 days wages in it, i was fucking gutted, but the kick in the nuts came when i called up to cancel my card and someone had rang through 50 quid on it in holland and barrett that night, not only did they get 95 quid in cash they tried it on for more, getting yogurt coated fucking peanuts and vitamins. piss take. so yeah, hand it back.
