Find a tenner, pick it up...

[Sharon]

...and all the day you'll have good luck with your extra tenner?

Or would you go and hand it in??

Yep, its time for the old what would you do moral discussion!!

What would you do?

[PlasticDel]

Hand it in to the neareast constabulary. Since it mighta been a pensioner wih little money that dropped it.

Think about that, Sharon!

[Gazzathecoigne]

As I had my wallet stolen at the Arches the Saturday before last I'd definatley hand it in, although before my unfortunate incident I'm not sure I could have said that a fortnight ago?

Funny how your morals can change.

[DMcNay]

Hand it in, which I did when I went to a cash machine, only to find the previous person had decided to leave the money they had withdrawn.

Although people that stupid deserve to lose cash....

[DMcNay]

What would you do?

Reminds me of my favourite Limmy video.....

What a dummy.

Doc, do I get to claim it back after a while if nobody claims it?

[Sharon]

Think about that, Sharon!

I'm thinking

[DMcNay]

Doc, do I get to claim it back after a while if nobody claims it?

Dunno. I know you can't get to claim back a mobile phone if you find one, because the sim card will have folks numbers on it. So I was told by the police when I tried.

I just handed it in to the branch and let them sort it out.

Take it into the nearest Charity shop and buy a tenners worth of LPs/Tapes/Cds........everyone is happy for such a small windfall.

(Possession is 9/10 of the law, so I would keep a quid back.........moral dilemna over )

[kn0wledge]

Fuck handing it in, I would keep it.

Yes, I may be immoral. But I need all the tenners I can get.

[duncan]

found £50 in fresh tenners on University Avenue one weekend. kept it, gave £5 to some homeless guy, bought some food and drinks to share with friends.

Found a solid gold wedding band on a beach in Hawaii once.
Thought 'Someones either freakin' out that they've lost it, or thrown it away thinkin' good riddance'
Handed it in to the cops, thinkin' i was doin' good. 3 months later got a letter saying nobody collected it and I could have it, but I'd have to pick it up in person. No chance of that!
It's still there, I suppose.
Moral? Humph...I dunno.

[Apollo]

I'll go for turbo's 'selective morality'

Untraceable things like tenners, just keep. At the end of the day, it only replaces what you've probably lost yourself in the past, and I'd place a fairly safe bet that if one blew out you hand into the distance, you wouldn't go around the polis stations asking if one was handed in, "and the serial number sir?"

Identifiable things like wallets, keys, dogs and children, no decision really, hand them in somewhere. If they're worth it, somebody will be trying to find them.

Then there's the oddballs. I now have a near perfect Sony Watchman, picked up on the Green after New Years day. While it works perfectly, it was obviously dropped as the vacuum had gone on the tube, so no pic and not worth repairing (anybody got a tube ?).

[JayKay]

A tenner I would accept as a gift from the universe. I tend to find money when I'm skint. Probably keep it if it was up to £100, more than that I'd hand it in. It would just be wasting police time handing a few quid in.

I found a gold/ruby ring in Buchanan bus station a few months ago, and it got presented to Strathclyde's finest. Three months later it was mine, although I'm not allowed to sell it for a year.

[nuttytigger]

i would keep it, if someone is daft enough to lose money then someone else should benefit from it,
