Finding a purse or wallet is different, as you would normally have the name of the owner. Therefore it's more difficult to detatch it from being someone's. Cash on it's own is different. Even if the money was just dropped by a normal person and not drug related, I very much doubt they would report it's loss to the police.
I once withdrew £100 from a cashpoint on and got back into the car too busy talking to my friend and put the money on my lap instead of in my bag. Inevitably when I got out the car, the money came too and I assume fell into the road. By the time I remembered I had the money on my lap and went back to where we'd been dropped off, of course it wasn't there. I felt extremely pissed off, but it didn't enter my mind to report it, I just thought someone had a good night on me!

I like to think not many people would steal cash off of someone else but is not handing in cash that has been found still stealing ?

I think that technically it is. Do you remember that case a while back where someone found a lottery ticket which turned out to be a winning one? They were found guilty of theft. |

The CEO of the company I work for here in China was involved in a car crash last year which killed two people. He wasn't seriously injured and from his hospital bed asked one of his friends to go to the scene of the accident and get his personal belongings from the vehicle including his wallet and laptop. When the friend got to the car everything had been taken.
I have since found out that its a common occurrence here, there really are some bastards in the world!

If you hand loose cash into a police station they'd probably keep it anyway.....

What's known as Christmas party funds ! My daughter dropped £50 in Asda last night, she didn't realise until she got to the tills to pay for her shopping so I'll use some of the found cash to replace what she lost. Swings and Roundabouts and all that. She spent an hour looking for it and no one handed it in, unhonest bastards ! |

I found a tenner in Tesco last year handed it in and they gave a 30 day claim period then it was mine. I just asked them to put it in the Charity box if it wasn't claimed but I do wonder if someone just pocketed it.
