Joe Terrapin Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Have never lost a lot of cash but have benefitted from someone handing in my wallet with all my cards in it and a mobile phone so unless it was a wad of obvious drug money I'd hand it in. When I was about 10 I was with 2 mates walking back from the park after playing football on a hot summers day. We were baking and thirsty with not a penny between us. Just before we reached the petrol station we found about 30p in the grass. It was enough to buy juice and sweets from the garage and we felt like kings for those few moments as we sat in the grass scoffing and drinking.. Think, Andy Dufresne and pals drinking beer on the roof with his pals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small amount though it was, they were still able to use it as a final down payment on a liver transplant. Now they are on the mend, I definitely feel that I did the right thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quietly pocketed it, waited a week to see if anyone tried claiming it, then spent it, probably on what that was originally paying for in the first place. Correct. If I found a substantial amount I'd keep it for a month and if a drug dealer/lonely pensioner contacts me directly they can have it back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Few weeks ago I was standing next to an old guy at the bar. Was a £5 note on the deck between us, checked my pockets and decided it wasn't mine, picked it up and handed it to the guy since it might have been his. He wasn't sure either so he just bought me a pint with it. Wholesome exchange. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Found a wallet containing just over £500 in cash inside it around Aberdeen Uni campus a few years ago, along with the Polish guy's driver's licence, other cards etc inside, making it nice and easy for somebody to identify him. I handed it into the police station, who then took my details and phoned me back a week later asking me to come back to collect a £200 'thank you' that the guy had left behind. Think I gave half of that to some local children's charity seeing as I wasn't expecting anything at all. Basic life rule: treat others like you'd want to be treated yourself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago now my auntie from a posh area in England told me how my wee cousin about 8 at the time found a big bag full of weed in the bushes near their school and he just walked half a mile down the road to hand it in to the police station. I was thoroughly ashamed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He walked away in disgust leaving a hundred quids worth of chips at the table. Me and another couple of boys all spotted it and realised we’d all spotted it as we looked up at the same time checking to see if anyone else had spotted it. Spider-Man gif esque stuff. 3 of us ended up at the bar and drunk it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallets and these cash filled envelopes can go to the police station. Tbf it would only get someone one shot on the waltzers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) I found a wallet a few years back that had about £150 in it but no obvious id to send it back to the owner. Handed it into the police station. If it’s something high value or they can be traced then I’d hand it in. I did once find £10 lying on the street and kept it since nobody could ever work out who owned it even if I did hand it in.

throbber Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Speaking of animals anuses I was in Gullivers adventure park in Sheffield last weekend and their model dinosaurs paid so much attention to detail the anus was included. I think both my kids could have fit into the model T. rex arsehole anyway and no I didn’t get a pic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones at Blair Drummond don’t and I had a good look recently, believe me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
