Finding money
« on: November 22, 2014, 08:38:38 pm »
If you found a lot of cash while you were out and about would you really turn it in, or head right to the stores?

What if the money doesn't belong to the store? What do you do then?

Ahhhh, now isn't that a question.  What do you consider a lot of money?
Turning it in is the only way to live with yourself, in my humble opinion.

I suppose it would depend on the circumstances. But putting that aside, I am sorry but I would keep the money. In my opinion, it does not constitute stealing so I would not have to grapple with the moral issue of retaining something that was not mine initially.

OK. Now what happens if you found the money next to your house, are you really going to turn it in or just be quiet about it. U know any other person would just be quiet about it.

It is really hard to say. I think it would like to turn it in but I don't know for sure.

If the money was inside a wallet and the wallet had identification, I would find out who it belonged to and return it.  If I saw who dropped the money, I would pick it up and run after the person and return it.  If that money was on the ground and there was no one around, it's mine, LOL.

Unless it was a couple of pieces of loose coin I would definately try to find the owner. That to me is the only option and the only one I could live with. :turkey: :turkey: :wave:

I would either turn it in or give it back to the person that belongs to.

It depends...it's not always clear where to turn in it into, in which case I might take and just donate it to church or a charity

I think you have to find the rightful owner if at all possible. It also depends on what you think is a lot of money.
