The question of course raises a moral dilema when lost money is found:

The news clip revoles around a homeless woman staying at the YWCA. She finds a purse leaning against the passenger door of a vehicle outside the Rocky Mountain Plaza. Driver takes off and she tries to gain the attention of the driver with no luck.

Wondering what to do with the purse she takes it back to the YWCA. Her concious would let her keep the money. Case manager and the woman find no identification in the purse. They do find $10,400 in hundred-dollar bills inside it and immedately call the police. A mother and her two sons from Edmonton claimed the purse and the cash a short time later.

So what would you have turned the money in?

1.) Of course. Had that been my money, I would hope someone would do the right thing.

2.) No. Finders keepers.

3.) I'm not sure. It would be a difficult decision.
