The few times I've found a wallet or money I've turned it in.

Ten grand is a different story however.

It would depend on the situation. If, like this situation, I felt I saw or knew who lost it (like trying to catch the driver as it happened) my instinct would probably jump at returning it automatically. Even if the first attempt was unsuccessful, I would have already made the decision in my head and turned it in.

However, if I found it with no one around and no clue of where it came from, and I was in a financial situation similar to this lady, I would be very tempted to keep it.
