A couple of years ago I found a wallet stuffed in a hedge outside a supermarket. The cash had gone but the cards were still inside with PIN numbers on a bit of paper FFS.
I took it to the police who found the owner and he dropped me up 6 bottles of wine!!
Result all round - does make you feel good

When I lived in Bristol, I found a wallet in the street one night in Clifton. Had cash & credit cards in it.
I phoned the owner, and he lived about 10-12 miles south of Bristol and didn't have any transport.
For some reason, I offered to drive it back to him. So I went off on a 25 mile round trip, and the guy said "Thank you." !

A few years ago while on holiday in the states we went into our motel room and the kids found about 600 dollars in cash in a cupboard. We took it to the reception, and they phoned the people who had been in the room before us. They didn't even realise that it was missing but came back and collected it and didn't even say thank you.

My daughter found a mans wedding ring on the beach back in the summer. We handed it in to looe police station, they took our address details, A couple of weeks later my daughter had a really nice letter from a family in Leicester saying that they had spent hours looking for it but just accepted they wouldnt see it again. They also put a £ 30 WH Smiths voucher in with the letter for my girl. Now I've remembered this I'm 50/50 on what to do with today's find.

I'd keep the money, you hand it in and the "dodgy money" will become dodgy again

Keep it Notts. It was only going to go to someone bad anyway if it was drugs related.

Hand it in, if it's drugs it's likely the person who lost it won't bother reporting it.

Moons ago, a bird I shared a house with, lost her purse, which contained a sizeable lump of resin, as well as the usual cards, cash etc... We got a phone call form OB asking her to turn up at the station to collect the purse, now we didn't know if teh resin was gone, whether OB might have considered paying us a visit or what... So she went in and OB gave her back the purse...resin and all. Not all coppers are bastards.  |

My wife once left her purse on a table at south mimms services, we went back five minutes later and asked around but never really expected to get it back. Not a great deal of cash in there but it was the hassle of cancelling cards etc in the early hours that we could of done without.

I've seen people walk away from a cash machine before taking their money. I have chased them down the street to give it to them.
