Will you return a coin purse or spend it?

It is despicable to do as these students have done.

Why they posted it in social media? They just want to show the netizens that they are cheaters, liars and also thieves. Yes, they are, if they just surrender the purse to the police station or any radio station that can air the happenings. They have no right to spend the money because they are not the owners of the purse.

oh thats bad. i might understand if they werent able to return it cause there wasnt any info inside but to post it on social media? tsk tsk.. and boast how they used it..? not good at all.

I think the should have reported the wallet, and not take what doesn't belong to them. Now the poor person will have to go through a lot of red tape, to get their identification cards back.

I would return the money if their was an ID in the wallet.

Once when I was in school, I found a wallet on the PCO. I took it and came to home. I checked the wallet and it was of a girl. I felt bad about what I did. I went back there and pretended like I am calling someone and returned it saying I found someone's wallet which was already found by me.

I remember when I was in college I found a cellphone inside the ATM booth in our school. The phone's battery was empty so I couldn't immediately check who might be the owner and the owner as well cannot call on it yet. What I did is I advised the guard that if someone looks for a cellphone kindly give my number. An hour later one of the school employee called me and confirmed that it was her pnone missing so we met and then I gave it to her. She was so thankful for my honesty and said that maybe if someone else found it, there was a chance that it might not be returned to her anymore. The thing is, we shouldn't get something which is not ours. There are ways to find out who the owner might be and if in case we can't really find them, then that's the time we decide what to do about it. Giving it to charity might be one good thing we can do.

Don't they teach values in other schools anymore? In my kids' school, I'm sure they do. That's actually what I'm paying for. But think about it, if they're like this as young people, what will they be like when they grow old? Politicians?

Still it's dishonesty. If ever I was the one who found the purse with money and no identification whatsoever, I will give the money to the church rather than spending it for I am afraid of karma.

If it was a wallet, chances are there was identification in it and those students were very dishonest about what they did.

aww, they even make it to the public..sigh

maybe they are firm believers of the quotation "finders keepers" that is why they did not bother to give back the purse. if I were them and nobody gets the purse, i will give it to the church as alms, with the purse of course

I'll turn over the purse to the local authorities, perhaps, to the nearest police station. Before turning it over, I'll probably take a photo of it and note down its contents and details. Then, I'll post the purse I found on Facebook (though I don't pose, this is an exception) but I won't provide that much details and if someone claims to be the owner, I have to test him/her by asking questions regarding the contents of the purse, to avoid posers. Then, inform the person that his/her purse is at the police station. Shame on those students. They may be held criminally liable for theft for failure to return the lost purse to the owner or to proper authorities (person to whom property must be turned over in case owner is unknown). Why the need to brag? They want attention for their illegal act. We see a lot of them nowadays.

Since they made the wrong choice of using the money instead of trying to find the rightful owner,they should have atleast kept quiet,going to announce it it social media is like rubbing salt to a wound to the owner of the wallet.

I really don't understand why some people would brag about their inappropriate act on social media. Do they really know what they are doing is not right at all? Or do they just want to challenge the public, challenge the moral system?

I really hate hearing things like this it upsets me so much. It is so wrong to do this. When I was young my parents and I were driving along a road and as were were driving by I said mom there was a purse down the middle of that street. We drove down and picked it up. Inside was a woman's wallet and we took it to her house. She was not home so we put it in a can beside her house and left our number on her door window to call us. We then told her what we found when she called and where it was hidden. She sent me a thank you note and $10 and went to meet her in person. I didn't need or expect the money. I think it is our duty to be kind and help others. Yesterday on facebook I saw a video of something similar. A guy was dressed as a woman and left his purse on benches etc and as soon as he left people got in his purse to steal and got a paintball blown up all over their face. I was so disgusted that none of him ran after him to tell him he forgot his purse but instead tried to steal his money.

My daughter finds money all of the time. If I found someones purse, wallet or whatever I would take it to the police. I think that is what people should do. I know I would want someone to do that if I lost mine.

I would return it ~ very rude of them to go tell social media their wrong doing too.

That's ridiculous for them to spend the hard money of other people. It would be fine if there is no ownership identification in the wallet. They are instant celebrity of doing wrong acts.

How can I return if there is no ID's nor contact details found. Maybe I will just keep it SECRET and if someone look for it I will return it. But I will NEVER brag on social media like they do.
