I'm talking about found cash, loose, no purse, no wallet, no paper bag with a name on it. no phone numbers scribbled on the bills. It's lost, untraceable, unidentifiable...That's what I'm talking about.
Baldric....no difference at all. The cash doesn't belong to anybody but the original owner. In the scenario that Nazile has outlined, if handing into a Police Station was not an option, I would have donated the money to the Dogs Trust.
I most certainly would not have "gone down the Pub and celebrated "
And that is all have to say about the matter, before this thread turns into the usual slanging match.
my grandmother found a few hundred pounds in a handbag during the war ( yes 1940 ) handed it in like the good girl guide she was - worth thousands now
at that very moment the owner whizzed in to the police station
grabbed it doubtless after establishing credentials etc
and said "your reward will be in Heaven !"
and whizzed out
Mikey, if the money only belongs to the original owner and doesn't legally or morally belong to you, how does it legally and morally belong to the Dogs' Trust? Anyway, cheers...I'm off across the field. (Hopefully I'll find a few dollars on my way.)
Found a £10 note and a £5 note on the ground once when walking round to a friend's house, I pocketed it, kept the tenner for myself and gave friend the fiver !
