I would rationalise it by thinking that someone who has stashed near on £1000 and forgotten its there has either got money to burn or its been stashed for a dodgy reason :laugh:

Also, if you bought something from a charity shop for £3.50 and then went and had it valued and it was worth £1000 as it was really rare, would you give the difference back?

I wouldn't....I'd be laughing all the way to the airport

...hopefully not a BA flight, Annie...

If it was in a wallet and there was clear identification, however...

Otherwise no.

I genuinely love how your mind works.. :love:

I think I'd guilt trip myself into handing it over

yep

I'd give it to Mod21 to turn into a £million through coral bets.

I believe the actual woman hadn't bought it but the money started falling out while she was browsing records, in that instance I'd be more likely to alert the shop as I don't actually own the record and it'd be a bit sneaky buying it having noticed the cash

If I bought it then got home and discovered it then its difficult, I'd feel a bit uncomfortable but Annie makes some good points :think: short of a social media appeal I doubt there'd be any way of finding out who the money actually belonged to

I’d consider it a bargain for only £3.50 :clap1:

Kate! 09-09-2019 04:59 PM

I would give some to Cats Protection and keep the rest.

Tbf the only thing I’d feel bad about is it being a charity shop but I give some money to charity, homeless, etc. every once in a while when I can anyway and I would definitely give extra moving forward after finding a free $900 from somewhere :laugh:

Finders keepers, loosers (charity shop workers) will always be weepy loosers. hehe i win.

Cherie 09-09-2019 05:56 PM

Its quite a sad story really, given its old money its obviously been stashed away for a while

Liam- 09-09-2019 06:01 PM

I’d keep it, it’s not my fault that someone was careless enough to get rid of it, like someone said, if you bought something and sold it for much more than it was worth, you wouldn’t be expected to split the profit

I used to assistant manage a charity shop, and sorters would always be checking through donations to see if money was inside them, aha.
