today as i'm going home from school, i found 120.00 pesos (about $3.00) ans it happened that today i need 300 pesos. so what i deed, i spent the money today because i need it. i can't return it to the rightful owner because i don't know who owns it. there's no contact number and i found it in the hall way. what do you think would be the best thing to do with that money? if happened to be one who found that money and you need it, what you think the best thing to do?

Wow! Why It doesn't happens to me?? Lol! Well is difficult to find the owner, so I don't think you will find him or her, so have fun and pray for the person who lost it, but if you think there is a way to find the owner try to give it back. Have a great day.

that would be impossible to know the owner since i found it in school,its possible that the owner would be a teacher or a student. when i found it, and not knowing the owner, i directly gave it to some one who is helping me and giving me a favor as a thank you gift. and i was so happy with what i did.

That is wonderful. I would put it in the bank if you do not need it for anything else.

correction; i only need 100 pesos and not 300 pesos. yeah, the thing that i am so happy because today i need 100 pesos and when i am going home i found 120 pesos. so it is so timely for me to have the money and since i don't know who owns it. i directly gave to the person who gave me a favor.

wow, how lucky are you. if can't return it, why don't just use to something "what you need and important"?.

yeah, what i did when i found that money and don't know the owner is? and since during that time i need 100 and directly gave it to someone i am grateful with. but, i don't consider myself as being lucky since i don't believe on "luck". i always believe on the sovereignty of God and because of that He is always in control. not just part of it but in control of everything. He allows things to happen for a reason and in accordance to His will.

Lucky you!Last Monday, while my daughter and me are on our way to her school, we found a 20 peso bill also. We got it and use it for our fare. I guess its not bad to use it because we don't know who the owner is.

great, so you saved your fare. i think so, i think its not bad to use the money you found as long as you don't know who owns it. so there's no convictions on our part.

I think you can use part of the money and part must be given to the church. In that way, though you are clean enough not knowing the owner, at least it's in the hands for a cause.

In all honesty leon300502000.. I would have done the same thing to be honest, especially if I needed it.. I mean if you knew who the rightful owner was then to be fair that would have been theft.. but you didnt know... I mean you could have handed it in to a lost property department.. but really whats the likeliness someone was going to report $3/120.00pesos missing?. (",)

hahaha, you got, if i lost this kind of amount, i would not consider reporting it the authorities or to a lost and found section. but although if lost this amount i would also feel sorry to myself.

You can't have that kind of thing everyday. Just spend it the right way. Mostly for your basic needs or for your own family. You're a bit lucky for having that.

It's not every day that you get to find free money like that. A couple of months ago I found Rp10000 about ($1) on a parking lot of a supermarket. It probably dropped from the pocket of some rich dude when he got in/out of his car. So picked it up and spend it on some groceries.

a little correction. i only need 100 pesos not 300 pesos. wow, i think you did the right thing if you don't know who owns it. i am so happy and thankful because the amount i found is more than what i need. instead of using my own many that is not part of my budget i used instead the money i found and i was able to save my own hard earned money.

If I found the money and I don't know the owner. I will do the same as you. It is logical to do that since you don't know who owns it. If ever you try to report it in the Lost and found area. Many will claim it.

I found 33.33 US.dollars infront of the gate of my building, and I didnt doubt to picked them up (in taiwan its one bill of 1000.00 Nts.)I was so happy as our friend says , this doesnt happens everyday. When I was in the elevador I though of the person who lost them, but , I didnt know who the money was I hardly know my neighbors , so , in those days I was wishing for some money since I dont work. I just said: sorry for the one who lost it , but , this was my good luck .I bought a birthday cake for my husband and We enjoyed it.
