There was a story in the papers a few years ago about a woman who went Christmas shopping with a few thousand in her purse and she lost it and it was never returned, She wasn't rich, the money represented her whole Christmas budget, and she suddenly had to face her kids and tell then that there wouldn't be a christmas.
First of all, my first instinct was, you are a moron if you carry that much cash, you're asking for it. But on reflection, that to me was irrelevant, it takes a cold person to take that money and read a news story about basically ruining that woman and her christmas.
If I found a wallet and it had a mass of cash in it, I think mentally I would be thinking about what I'm taking away by keeping that money, I have an over active imagination that way.
To me its irrelevant how much is in that wallet, its not my money, I didn't earn it and keeping it is theft, and keeping a massive amount of cash is grand theft. I have to think that if its a lot of money that I'm not even going to hand it to some hotel clerk or front desk security guard, I'm going to make the extra effort to either take it to the police or track down the address and get it there.
I've done more then a few bad things in my life, I'm assuming we all have, so why would I want to keep stacking the intergalactic metaphysical Karma Ledger against me?

Put it this way. Your average homeless person returns the wallet with its contents untouched. I'm confident of that.

So if someone shows up with your wallet and the money is gone from it. Would you reward the person who brought back your wallet or think they stole the money?

I'm mostly shocked at how many people would go through the wallet and see what's there. If I found a wallet I would look for ID, but that's basically it. I wouldn't count the money and go through all their cards or whatever they have...I'd just find ID and see about returning it.

If you found a hot 20-something chick's phone, would you look for nudes on it?

I'd take the $100 out and tell them it was already missing when I found it, just to see if they would catch on. Then give it back.

Honestly I've found two phones in the past year and turned them in to lost and found/police without going through them. I just feel like its an invasion of privacy in general and I would never do that.

During the pokemon go craze last summer we found a wallet at Princes Island Park. Ended up being the wallet of a guy I used to work with a few years back. We just waited around figuring he'd come back (was a double pokestop location, so pretty good odds), and ended up with a mini-reunion. Sort of a small world kind of story - what are the chances I find a wallet of someone I actually know among all those people playing pokemon?

Don't most people have a password screen? I don't want just anyone seeing my nudes on my phone.

I've gone through 2 phones and 1 wallet and yes, to find ID and information on how to return it.

I found a phone in a car wash the other week.
Tried to open it but it had a passcode. So I just turned it in to the car wash attendant. She said they get them everyday, people leave them on top of the coin box (why you leave your $1000 smartphone in a humid/wet area and not in your car is strange).

Ok, new scenario.
You find a man's wallet on the nightstand next to the bed you and your wife share... any chance the guy gets it back?

Well sure, I'd give it back to him the next time he comes over to continue our torrid affair that we are having behind my wife's back.
The only worry in that scenario is if my wife asked who it belonged to!

Probably rectally at about 2300 feet per second.

In a way, you're returning it.

Ok new scenario.
You find the wallet of a Scientologist on the surface of the moon. Two space shuttles are flying toward each other at 17,500 MPH, one having left St Louis at 2:30 AM and one having left Cape Canaveral at 2:40 AM, to retrieve the wallet. 1 is carrying a payload of apples and 1 is carrying a payload of pancakes. Which one arrives first, and which one will you send the wallet back to earth with, after having gone through it and determined the height, weight, financial worth, and sexiness of the wallet's owner and do you keep the apples or pancakes?

I've found and lost wallets. Option B or you're asking for something awful. I once found $20 at a Superstore self checkout. I gave the money to the attendant and told her which station it came from. That probably ended up buying a pack of smokes.

What kind of POS mind do you have to possess to do anything but the right thing? I always thought guys that would steal somebody's wallet or cash in a situation like this would do so knowing that they are an absolute piece of scum, but do it anyway. To think they justify it or assume everyone else would be the same loser they are is mind blowing.
