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.

[Kizzy]

They must be a bliddy virtuous lot on that DS...

[InOne]

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?

[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

On paper yes. But I highly doubt it would happen

[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

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.

[Ninastar]

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

[Calderyon]

If it wasn´t on a wallet/purse or near it, i would keep it. It really depends how much there is. (On the situation that there was only money on the ground, not if the was a wallet/purse)

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

[Doogle]

No way. I was annoyed my friend took the twenty quid she found to the school office the other day

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)

[Daniel.]

Lol no

[Ninastar]

if it was more than £100, maybe I'd post on mumblr (huge fb group with more than 5000 people in my town) saying something like found something on blah street, if anyone has lost something, message me and let me know what it is. Not saying as everyone would claim it etc. then if someone said they dropped that exact amount of money, i'd ask things like was it all in 20's or what etc
