Today my dad found a wallet today containing £400 + a few hundred Euros + Credit Cards and usual wallet stuff. He found it outside a shop so he walked in and with the details in the wallet discovered that it belonged to a regular customer of this shop. So my dad left his details incase the man wanted to thank him or whatever. And about 10 minutes ago, this man calls and thanks him etc.
I started thinking about what I would have done in the same situation as my dad. Would I have gone in the shop and given the wallet in? Would you?

If you can't see the problem with stealing, let's hope someone steals something really important from you, cubist, so you know how horrible and empty it makes you feel.

Ah, well as long as you had a good time, that's what's important.

The area he got off at, he would have been mugged anyway. I just took advantage of the situation and had a good night out.

I'd put myself in the same position. Would freak out hugely if I lost that much money. As tempting as it would be to take a few notes out, I'd give it back.

See that is the thing to do. Hand it in and if no one claims it after a few weeks it's all yours.

Exactly, £400 to some people is a hell of a lot of hours working. It just wouldnt be right at all, but you know there would be people out there who wouldnt give it a second thought after taking the cash and throwing the wallet aside.

That was very nice of them both ^_^ I think I would turn down the reward unless it was some rich guy/company or something. I like doing good deeds, makes your day.

Yeh, once, this old guy at the front of the bus lost about £4 in coins when the bus went over a bump. Me and my mate where the only ones on the top floor of the bus with him though so we waited until he left and then I got it all which was good because I couldn't have gone to the cinema that night without it. I'm still surprised he didn't hear it all clink and stuff as it hit the floor.
