If it was in a wallet, it should have some ID in it to tell me who the wallets owner is, so I would call that person. Otherwise, I would have to turn it over to the police and see if someone claims it. You wouldn't want to keep it, what if it came from a bank robbery or something. Yikes!

yes, that true but what if there was no wallet and the money was alone in the street what would you do then, would you still give the 2,000 dollars?

If the money was all alone I would think long and hard about it then most likely do the right thing and turn it in

I would most likely do the same and turn the money in to the police but i must admit that it would be really tempting to keep it, lol but its always best to try and do the right thing.

usually i won't spend that money immediately, if the amount is big i will inform the authorities and wait for any citizen will claim. it is very painful if you are the one lost some amount specially if that amount is intended for a specific purpose.

yes, i agree i would give it to the authorities first and see what happens, but let me ask you this, would you still give it to the authorities if there was no wallet and the money was alone in the street?

if i found only money then i will keep it, if i try to find the owner, we know that i will found them a lot then one ... but if there are wallet and money in it, i will try to contact the owner of the wallet and give them back, if he then decides to give me some money i will accept it if not, damn with him ;)

Hi there apples99 If I saw a wallet in the street I wouldn't check how much money was in there I would maybe check for id in case I knew them if I didn't then I would definately take it a police station. If it was $2,000 on it's own laying in the street and there was no one around I would keep it!

If I had found more money, I would have kept like 20000$ or like. As for 2000$, I will return it to the nearest police station.
