I've watch our local news in Cebu, a certain garbage scavenger in Inayawan Dumpsite was able to find a bag of money sum up to 3 million pesos, the one who found the money is missing right now. How about you would you do the same or not? To end up the report if your just curious a certain chinese-filipino owns the money and it was just an accident that his househelp throw it in the garbage and he put it in their table at home.

I am an honest person but if that will happen to me in the future, i will call the authority or a government officials that i know and give them the money. I already returned lost thing before but not as much as this. It was a simple thing but i know the owner was so sad when she lost his belongings. We are talking about millions, how much more i will return it to the owner because I am afraid of what will happen to me in the future because of that money.

It is a huge amount and I know I won't be able to sleep restfully thinking how soon would karma get back at me. I just wouldn't enjoy spending money that is not rightfully mine, that it is someone else's hard earned money.

yes, you're right also because I think everybody is trying to locate the man who found the money right now.

i know the amount of 3 million pesos can change my life but i don't think i can be happy being a millionaire as i know in myself that it's not my money... first thing i'd do is look for the owner and if i can't find him/her then that's the only time that i'll go to the authorities to find the owner of the money..

ill return that money the same amount, because I know that the one owns that money is problimatic now.... what if that money is for emergency.... like for operations or any inportant matters....... and I have consience too.... think the posibility that wat if yor the owner of that money and the one who find did not tend to return your money, so what will you do... so its better to return..... you dont know God will reward you for that......................

I would't be too quick on reporting it to the police. Not just yet. I'll do my own investigation in determining who the rightful owner is. And if I ever find its owner, I will give it back. I wouldn't turn down a reward or something I'm no hypocrite. I know its a lot of money. Enough to drastically change my lifestyle. But the money's not mine. So I just have to do the right thing and return it. But in case ---- No one came looking for it. haha.. :)

i am sure ofcourse that i will not donate the money by any case, because most of the organisations does not properly utilize money... Out of it i will keep about 1 million for myself as i am not stinking rich and end of the day money talks instead of lectures... apart from that i will also get some new dresses and food for the street children as we have many in india... I know it will not end up the money yet... I will then make an old age home and orphanage where i will make the old people look after the orphan kids. Wouldn't it be a good past time for the oldies?? i am sure it will.. Finally, I will put the remaining amount in fix deposit to run the organization in future.. Afterall, 3 million is a bit too much of a greed and money to spend it all over for myself...!!! right??

maybe my first reaction would be i am gonna run away and bring with me the money but i dont think my conscience will not allow me to do that. I remember when somebody accidentally drop her wallet with money amounting to 5,000.00. When i found it my first thought is to bring it with me at home, in the first place i didn't know who owns it but suddenly when i was way home, i felt guilt and instead i brought it to the radio station.

In this times of crisis it is really hard to resist the temptation of using someone's money for your own sake. If I were the one who found the money I will still return it because I could not live my entire life having this thought in mind that the money I'm using for my benefit is not mine and that is very important to the one who really owns it. I will return the money in full amount not because it is the right thing to do (that is always the reason of people who returns money) but because that is what I want to do. Who knows, the owner might give me a reward for returning the money? Anyway to all those people who have huge amount of money please always keep them beside you and never leave them anywhere else.

honestly you will be tempted to get the money because of the big amount but you have to consider the effects that would caused you if you do it. will you be able to sleep at night knowing that what you are spending is not really your money? can your conscience take it that what your family is eating is from the money you stole? only a person without conscience wold be able get the money.
