I found one once gassing up while on a trip right next to the pump . It had $1700 and a few credit cards and an uncashed paycheck for $1350. I got my assistant to call ( gave her the DL) and his father called me back . His son had dropped it and was panicking . He didn’t live far from the farm and came to us to get it . They were happy and tried to pay me . I refused and so I get a Christmas card each year from them

I've come across wallets like that. I couldn't either. I'd love the extra money but my conscience would eat me alive

No i wouldn't

I've contemplated that question years ago. When I find a wallet I dont look inside...the temptation would be to great so, I'll just return it.

Hand on heart .a few years ago I found a pink purse in Asda car park stuffed with £20 notes and cards easily£ 1000 I handed it straight to security

No, I would take the wallet to it's rightful owner along with however much money (if any) is still contained therein.

It would be wrong to keep it. Likely the person who lost it is panicking and needs it badly.

Nope. My dad once found a gentleman's wallet in a department store restroom. It had fallen out I guess. It was stuffed full of credit cards and several hundred dollars. My dad picked it up and wandered around until he found a man, white as a sheet, looking around frantically for something. He matched the ID in the wallet so my dad returned it to him. The man was so grateful he insisted on giving my dad $50 for helping him.

No I wouldn't keep it .. Its situations like this that make me realise how appreciative I would be if ..it were me who had lost my purse.

Which I have done in the past. It's not just the money, although it very well might be the case if the owner had firm plans for using it.

I recall losing a new phone on a day out with my children.

We were moving around the venue taking photos & looking at interesting things .

When I suddenly realised I must have put my phone down & forgotten it for a minute.

It was popular model I didn't think I'd see it again. Well you could of knocked me over with a feather when a man came over phone in hand and said " I think you left this over there"

I was happy..he saved me a lot of bother.

Temptation is an ugly sin

🙂 Giving back is the right thing to do .. you should give yourself a pat on the back. 🍓

Next time return it and tell no one.
It appears self serving otherwise.

I am glad you resisted the temptation and did the right thing.

GOD is pleased too, along with all The Angela & Saints.

I found a wallet on the front nine of my local golf course and returned it to its rightful owner at the turn. It's a good feeling. The back nine was my lowest ever. Coincidence? Most likely.

No. I would try to ensure the wallet and all its contents were returned to the rightful owner.

Thats stealing

Never have yet and not likely to either.

I would not, for the same reason you didn't. That does not mean I wouldn't, however briefly, consider doing so, if I were desperately in need of the cash. I doubt if I would even think of keeping it, but I really can't say...for [b]sure[/b].

I like your honesty. I wouldn't take it but I also might be tempted, though I know I wouldn't pocket it in the end. I'd have no problem taking it if it was the wallet of some CEO of a ruthless corporation though.

i have come across cash on ground and in the atm cash draw thing before. Not going to lie, i pocketed it. That is loose cash though. A wallet is a diff story. I would see about returning it if there was Id and so on in it

If there's not much cash then it will make only a small difference to your life for a day but hopefully will hurt your conscience for much longer.

If there's a lot then you know how distressing the loss would be for the owner.

Never

Think of it in reverse, you lost a wallet with some cash in it. A kind anonymous soul gets it back to you but the money's gone. How would you feel about that?

Oddly enough, I have found three of them over the years. Got all 3 back to their rightful owners with cash intact!

I have found wallets on the job and turned them in to the student or the office’s lost & found.

Good for you! You didn’t fall for satans trap 👏👏 good job

No. It's a terrible feeling losing your wallet.

Right now as broke as I am.. I’d take it

I'm glad you didn't take it.

No I would not

what cash? 🤔

No

I've found several, so far. All the owners received all their belongings.
