i agree with calling the phone number for the name/address and if they ask about the money and know the amount, return it. (there's a very good chance that they'll reward you). if they don't ask, keep it. if you can't reach the person bring the ID to the cops, if they were in an accident or anything the cops should know and can return the ID/money.
if you lost $465 you'd not only want it back but need it, right?
 
8) Thats almost $500 in the monte fund!What ID never saw one.And 90%of the people that said they would turn it in or try and find the person that lost it are just trying to make you feel guilty they would keep it to. Just the way the world is today!!
 
no, you're just a selfish prick. i have fould money before and given it back every time that i could find the owner. i've also found a credit card at the gas pumps and found the owner. if you would keep the money then just say so, but don't tell me how i act.
 
I did not say everyone would keep it I said 90% of people and I did say I would keep it at least I am honest ! Besides how do you know Iam a selfish prick.Go polish those sidepipes!! :roll:
 
well lets see, you're selfish because you don't think that someone may NEED the money or the ID, and a prick because you insist that no matter what people say, they must act like you. and because you say that we're just trying to make him feel guilty.
if 90% of us are full of sh*t, and 7 of us said to allow the posibility of giving the money back, YOU tell me which 6 are lying since you're obviously the expert.
it's not the keeping the money part that bothers me, found money is found money. it's your attitude that bothers me. i do ask that people have the courtesy to return the ID however.
the sidepipes are stainless, no polishing required.
 
Yeah turn the money in to the cops if no one clams it its yours in so many days and return the id.
 
Okay, I will post what I did. As an aside, I had already finished with it before I posted it online. I called the police department and they sent out a deputy. I had done this at my parents house since mine is a shithole and would not show well if the deputy was suspicious of me (past experience with being a good Samaritan turned on me for the worst because I am upper white trash, so I was cautious). The deputy called the number on the ID and asked if the guy had lost anything else along with it. He said he had, and names an amount of money close to but less than what I had found. The guy was on his way to Orlando where he went to school, but he came back and I gave him the money. I also took him to where I found it and helped him look for the wallet it was in, but had no luck finding it. At the end he was very happy and gave me $100 as a reward for my honesty (although I told him it was not necessary and tried to give it back since I was only concerned with doing the right thing).

Not that it matters in the least, but the guy was a Lebanese immigrant. Upon hearing this, a friend told me I should have kept the money because it was probably going to terrorism--a comment I thought unkind and VERY unlikely to be true. After all, many Lebanese are Christians but get painted with a broad brush due to the region they come from, and a large amount of them fled during the Syrian occupation. I prefer not to judge a person harshly until they first give me a reason to do so. As a Christian, I feel this is the right way to be, and that I acted in accordance with Biblical teachings in the way I handled this incident.
 
i always like statements tha t because a person is lebanese, iraqi or whatever they must be a terrorist. if that's true we REALLY need to watch the irish. :lol:
i kinda figured that's what you did, and it's great that you still got a good amount of cash for your efforts.
 
I work at the GE plant in Erie, PA. There are MANY people here of all nationalities. I'm getting a little sick of the BS because someone is of some nationality or another they must be a terrorist or ??. You made that guy's day, and he showed his gratefulness for it.
