If you found, for example, a hundred quid cash on the street..would you hand it in?

I'm not talking about in a purse or anything..so realistically the owner couldn't be identified.

Inspired by a thread on DS where I was made out to be some kind of monster for saying the police would probably spend it so I would keep cash (but hand a purse in)

Definitely not

No because i know if i dropped that kind of money someone else would keep it.

Definitely keep it

[Novo]

Go to the bookies put it all on Red then double it, hand it in to the police and keep the winnings and you kill two birds with one stone

[Loukas]

i would probably keep it tbh but if you had it in and nobody claims it, don't you get to keep it after a certain amount of time?

On paper yes. But I highly doubt it would happen

but i know if i lost say £100 i would not go looking in a police station for it, would you? I would presume that somebody took it and kept it.

Nope, I would think it was totally pointless (plus from experience.. reporting something as missing doesnt go down well in the police station, they seem to view you with suspicion)

[Shaun]

nope.

clearly god wants me to go shopping.

[Jessica.]

I would most certainly keep it.

[GypsyGoth]

I would keep it, and I have done in the past when something like that happened.

Also I agree about the police spending it on themselves or putting it in petty cash for their own use.

[joeysteele]

No I wouldn't.

[Ramsay]

I would obviously keep it

[Josy]

If it was just cash with no way of knowing who lost it then yes I would keep it.

If it was a purse/bag etc then I would definitely hand them in, I know how it feels to lose them

This ^

I would hand it in.

We all lose things, I would take much more satisfaction from knowing someone got their possessions back if they had an I.D in it. If they don't I'd still hand it in regardless.

[Cherie]

I think I would hand it in too, if someone has gone to the trouble of withdrawing a 100.00 quid they need it for something, if the police want to dip into it that is on their conscience not mine then.

I was behind a woman at an ATM last week and she walked off leaving the money she had just withdrawn still in the till, I called her back and she was so grateful it was lovely really.

it depends how much it was. if it was anything more than like £100 I'd hand it in. Imagine if you found out someone had been attacked/raped and dropped their money they've earnt from working late shifts or something.

£100 is pretty replaceable, but i think anything more than that is difficult.

so under £100 yes, i'd keep it, but any more than no, i'd hand it in and wait to hear something back

That is one really thought provoking point, I never looked at it that way.Well said.
