Would you return lost money?

Well actualy i think i'd give it back, But if i could not find the person or this person was using it for someting illegal i'd just take it away and never speak of it...
if this person was lying to me about it being his money and that person stole it from someone else then i'd keep it...

i haven't found myself in this situation but if i did i would certainly give the money found back to its owner. After i did that i would be very happy.

I would have taken it to the police for them to track down who it belonged to and sort out. If they can't trace the person down after a month, you can go and legally claim it as your own and if they do track the person down, then its a happy ending.

I would return the money if i found lost money. Because the money is not mine. I think it wasn't good when you take something that doesn't belong to you.

Absolutely yes, because i believed in Karma. Taking money that is not yours is really bad. What if it happens to you and you really need that money for emergency purposes? Still, it is better to give it back to the owner.

If I know for sure whose is the money, yes I would give it back. But if there is no identity with the money I find, I just keep it. I don't even take the money to a police station because if I don't keep it the police will!

This happened to me, sort of, many years ago. This is the background of what happened. I had been in a car accident when another car ran a stop light and ran into the driver's side of my car as I was crossing the intersection. My car rolled over and finally came to a stop in an upright position.
After several weeks the insurance company of the other driver sent me a check for $2500.00 as full payment. I went to my Credit Union to cash the check and buy another car. I put $1500.00 in my savings account, and took the rest as cash. I went car shopping. I bought another car for $500.00 including registration, which was handled at the dealership. I went out and got something to eat and then went home. Can you imagine my surprise when counting what was left I came up with $1000.00 more than I should have had? I immediately called the Credit Union and asked to speak to my Mom, who worked there. I explained what had happened, and asked her how to handle it. She told me she would take care of it and that I should do nothing except wait for her at home. I handed her the $1000.00 and she took care of it.
Honesty is still the best policy.

Honestly for me, it is depend how much the money i have found. What if i could only found not too much, example, 20 pesos or 100 pesos..I never waste my time searching who was the real owner of it. Coz i was thinking i have still much more important things to do than to find that real owner of that money. But if icould found thousand or millions then, i should return it to the owner of course because what if (as what you have said) if is my monthly wage then how i am going to feed my kids and sustain my family.

of course! its not mine why should i keep it..

personally i would also return it if i found a money. Because if im in the place of that person that have lost the money i should also like to get it back to me. I believe in Karma so if you did good it will bring good also to you but if you do bad and not honest then it will also come back to you and beside its just a heavy burden in your conscience, you feel guilt spending or using a money which is not yours. We should remember the golden rule " Do not do unto others what you dont like to do unto you". So what you did is the right one dont listen to your friends.
