She’s so afraid

One of my workmates told us that she found a 1000 pesos bill (almost 20USD) while she’s in the supermarket. She picked up the bill but gave the money to the lady in the stall near to it. According to her she’s afraid to own the money because she thinks that there must be something bad in return if she does it. That amount is already pretty for a number of goods in the grocery but she never mind about it. The next day, I saw 50 pesos (almost a dollar) on the street; no people, no passersby so I picked up the money, bought some banana cue and shared it to my office mates.

@ZedSmart Stealing is wrong, keeping what we find is not wrong.

As they say finder’s keeper. If you found it and saw no one leaving that money then its as good as yours already. I think there’s no bad karma with it unless you know who the owner of that money and decided to still keep it as yours.

That's what I'm telling her. It's not stealing so probably nothing bad to come in return.

If I find money, I usually buy it directly for food and give it to people in need
