    ...and that person didnt even give me 10 euros or whatever as a reward. I was actually nice enough to make the effort and find the person.

    Yeah, but I would have felt so guilty if I actually kept the money.

    what sucks more than losing money is losing things like ID, SS card, credit cards . . . things that are bitches to replace. if you must keep the cash from, at least give them those back

    Aparently when I was about three or four mum was taking money out of an ATM and I kept saying "Shoe! Shoe!" to her so she bent down to tie it thinking thats what I wanted and I was standing on a good $500 or so.

    Well you can look at the moral issue of keeping versus giving back found money in two ways:

    number one: how would you want to be treated if you were the one who lost the money?

    number two: perhaps you are in dire need as well

    I have found in my personal exeperience, giving back, gives back to you too
