I found a wad of cash!

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.

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..

no one is going to claim it. so just take it to the police
and you'll get it back. that's what id do.

There's NO way I'd return money I found, fuck the police.

"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.
