    turn it in, because karma has already paid me back for crap I've done in my past, so I sure don't want that added to it.

    Never ever ever keep it!! I would always think of how I would feel, should it have been me that lost the wallet. You never know someone else's circumstances. I would take it to the nearest police station and let them know where you found it.

    Also, if no one claims it, after a certain amount of time, you would get it anyway!!

    Anything else is stealing, in my book, and no one like a thief!

    Turn it in. I'm too honest a person not to.

    I found a really nice smartphone on the floor recently on the way to work and handed it to the police because a few months earlier I lost my phone and someone was nice enough to hand it in. It's a horrible feeling when you lose something like that!

    I'd call the police station and give my phone number and leave my details, so the person can be given my details to call me if they try to report it missing

    I've handed in purses before and got the feeling the shop clerk etc was going to just keep the stuff!

    I pulled up to the drive thru at the bank one day, pulled out the little container and it had almost 300.00 in various bills in it along with somebody stub for a car payment. Someone must have put it in there, pushed the button and drove away but it never went. I didn't have much money at that time but I knew if someone was making their car payment with cash and a lot of $1.00 bills they didn't have much money either. The teller filled the container with tootsie rolls and sent it back out to me! I felt really good for doing that but the thought of keeping it definately crossed my mind.

    Also I grew up in a rural farm community, and a friend of mine found a wallet on the highway at a stop sign. It had almost 10,000 dollars in it. He knew the guy - filthy rich farmer. He took it to him the next day. Got a really nice 1000.00 reward! That would have been a tough decision. I can just see an angle on one shoulder and the devil on the other saying keep it, return it, keep it return it!

    Have a great weekend!

    Turn it in and leave your name and number. If they can't find the owner, they usually give it back to the person who found it. I list my wallet when I was a teen, and the man who found it sent it all back in the mail along with his business card. I kept it until it disintegrated, as a reminder that there are truly great people in the world.

    No idea what I'd do. I'd probably end up keeping it just for the fact that I wouldn't think about taking it to the police...I'd probably be so dumbfounded that I found a wallet with that much money in it...haha


    When my mom lost her purse that contained $700 no one returned it to her and she had ID in it... NOW I know the problem - the pictures that she had of my sister and I were just not cute enough! LOL

    Honestly......... I would probably keep it. If there was no ID, no way of identifying the person, I would keep it. Karma owes me big time.

    I would be tempted to keep it, but the guilt would make me turn it in! You never know, the owner could give u a even bigger reward! :smile:

    I honestly would keep it cuz the person who lost it probably knows its gone forever.....I've worked in a grocery store and a person left $200 in the bank machine and never bothered to come back for it....

    Plus its their own stupidity for not leaving nay identification in it

    I would definitely turn it in! Karma is not one to mess around with! ;)

    My dad lost his wallet at Ford Hood military base once and it was returned, with everything in it, several years later when a soldier found it during training. We thought it was long gone! There are nice people in this world, still.

    I had someone turn in a large amount of cash that I misplaced. I know the feeling of how terrible it was to lose it in the first place, and then I was blessed enough to know the feeling of someone returning it to me. Not only was I relived to have the money back, but it was also a great feeling to know that there are honest people in the world. In my case the money was just in an envelope from the bank, so there wasn't any identifying info at all. I cashed check, and I was just carrying the cash to pay for books. Anyway, I would want to do the same for someone else, so I would leave my contact info at the Police Station and at any places nearby.
