What would you do,

I would certainly return the wallet. Your brother did the honourable thing. I think he should have taken the $100.00 even though he did not expect a reward. Your brother must be a wonderful person. I certainly hope the kindness that he gave will be returned to him some day. Merry Christmas to your family.

I'd return it, but I'd've probably accepted the $100.

I found one last Saturday. It was in the movie theatre. I don't know what was inside, I was yelling after lady who lost it...she was very happy... I believe in Karma...and I would be happy if someone can do it for me if ever happen...

I would have done exactly what your brother did, with one exception. I'm so poor right now I would have taken the 100 dollar reward as a blessing from God, lol. You have a brother with wonderful character. I honestly wouldn't even think about keeping the wallet because of how I was raised, and we all should know right from wrong. My parents just HAD to instill honesty in me, : ).

I think that was really sweet of your brother to return that wallet...uh, maybe a little daft for refusing some kind of reward though..LOL It would depend naturally. I would do everything possible and make every effort to return the wallet naturally if there was proper ID. As they say, what goes around comes around as I would hope someone would return my wallet if the tables were turned. Ah, but what if there wasn't any form of ID to locate the person, then how could one return it then? What would one do then?

I'd return it of course. what would we feel if we ourself loss our wallet and the people who finds the wallet do not want to return it ?

Bravo to your brother! I'm with him! I'd try to return it. It's the right thing to do. Just put yourself in their shoes...if you lost $636.oo...you'd be pretty upset. I know that much money would probably pay a lot of bills and utilities and would take 2 weeks pay for me! Of course, I never have that kind of cash on hand anyway...I use debit cards or checks!

Your brother will be rewarded one day and it'll be worth much more than the 100.00 or the 636.00. I know it's tempting and face it especially this time of the year, but you must always think of this being your wallet and how would you feel. That makes a house payment for me, and with that said I would have to return the wallet. I did find a wallet many years ago and I had barely enough money on me to go for coffee and coffee was about 50 cents then. The wallet belonged to a young fellow. He'd got out of the work truck to let one of the other passengers out and I guess when he got back in the truck his wallet fell out of his back pocket. I went in the wallet got the phone number and as it turned out he didn't have a vehicle, which is why he was riding with these other guys. I drove to his appartment and he met me outside at my car. He offered to give me money too, but before he said how much I told him no thank you, but I ask that if one day you find a wallet please return it, that's what I want for payment and he said he certainly would. He was very thankful and it left me feeling good.

I too would return the wallet if I could find the owner. If there was not a way to find the owner then I would turn it into the police , but I would make sure that everything was recorded so that it did not just disappear in the police station.

I'd also return it, although I probably would have accepted the $100.

I would return the wallet too. The way I see it if we are honest maybe more people will be honest and hand in our stuff if we are ever unfortunate to lose our wallet etc. Your brother is a very nice person to return it. It makes you realise there are still some honest people out there. Thank you for sharing such an inspiring story.

I would of returned the wallet or guilt would of ate me alive. That was probably there Christmas shopping money. I would of accepted the reward though.

I agree with your brother's behavior.If I kept it,I just could spend $636 or more in the credit cards,but one day the money would be used up.If I gave the wallet back,the owner of lost property would be extremely happy just like the one you mentioned. Maybe, he will remember the thing for a long time and he will do the same thing when he comes across a lost wallet.

I can choose give up this surn of money.A quality noble person,should achieve these!Increases the beautiful color for own life.

Well giving the fact you would know whos it is or I would I would return it thats the right thing to do especially this time of year, or any time of the year , its the right thing ... In my opinion anyways i know in todays world there are alot who would keep it thats sad ...

I would have returned the wallet to , I would have asked him to give the reward to a good charity , I have heard so many stories lately about people never getting things back that they have lost , You must have a really nice brother , A merry Christmas pal xxxx

I would have done the exact same thing your brother did, I think. It would make me feel good to think that I had brought back a very happy Christmas to the owner, who probably was imagining his Christmas would be a very sad one. That's what the Christmas spirit is all about. Well done your brother! Brightest Blessings to you, your brother and all your family in wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

i think i would give it back. i am being totally honest and i don't know if they would get it back with the cash in it, but they would get everything else. LOL

I found a wallet about 3 years ago stuffed with money and credit cards. I looked for an address but could not find one, only the person's name. I took it to the police station and they quickly traced the owner. The police called me and told me that the woman who owned the wallet was very grateful and wished to thank me for my honesty. That message was far more valuable to me than if I had kept anything that had been in the wallet. I would never keep somebody else's wallet. I do not know the circumstances of that person and if it was lost to them permanently, it may send them into terrible stress. I wouldn't like it done to me, so I do not do it to anyone else. :-)

I must honestly say I would *probably* have kept the money and mailed the belongings to the address on the license. I've got to be honest.
