I was walking home after work today, and there it was, sitting on the sidewalk, a wad of 20's! It turned out to be $160, and now I'm battling with my conciounse as to whether I keep it or try to find who lost it. What should I do? What would YOU do?

I would go to the po-pos. I think they have a thing where if it's not claimed in a certain amount of time then you get to keep it.

That happened here actually, a cop who was off duty and walking his dog found a backpack with 1 million in cash in it. He took it to the station adn after something like a month it wasnt claimed so he got to keep it. They figure it was part of a drug deal so whoever it belonged to wasnt exactly going to walk into the police station to claim it.

i'd try to find who lost it, just imagine working for two weeks and then losing your pay.
hand it over to the police.
you don't want to ruin some poor chaps day. christ, it might be his rent money, or food money.

no guaruntee that the person who lost it would even check the police station, he might've already given up on it (especially if he - or she - is rich). if that's so, might as well bring it to the station and pick it up again in a month..

"I think I'll spend it on music & dope..."
WELL SAID!
" already got a sufficient supply of porn"
is this even possible?!
i dunno on what to do with the cash...i'd prolly tell the cops...$160 is a lot of money. How did you feel when you lost that 200? i bet the guy who lost the 160, feels the same way, or even worse. if you go to the cops you can at least live with yourself in the morning.

Take the money to the police....and tell them you found it! If no one claims it, they'll let you have it back!
But like others have said, imagine you had lost the money - you'd like to think that someone would hand it in! I know we live in a world were a lot of people won't, but that doesn't mean you have to be like them (no offense to anyone here!!)
Do the right thing! Go on - you know you want to!

I just hate the police. Based on my own experiences and from other people's. If you see them on demonstrations (and I mean the peaceful kind) you'll see what I mean.
