This sounds like a good plot for a film. We could call it "No country for old men"
Blimey, i'd forgotten about that!

Turns out it's £500. That's a lotta cash. I think knowing me I'll hand it in. But I'm tempted not to...
If you hand it into the police, they are supposed to keep it in a safe until someone comes to claim it. If no-one claims after a period of time, which I think is 8 weeks, it is returned to you. Assuming the police are straight, obviously, and haven't just 'claimed' it for their Christmas Ball, which is a secret, traditionally.
I think, overall, I'd be tempted to do that rather than spend it. Karma is an absolute bitch and it always catches up with you in the end.
Of course, you could try and find a Christmassy way of using it! Find an old lady who can't afford to switch the heating on. Or perhaps a family who won't have anything under their tree this year. Gather them together, pull the money out of your pocket and then set fire to it, in order to teach them the value of savings.
Take it in to a different police station then! I think it's the right thing to do under the circumstances.
Well so do I. But I thought it'd make an interesting morality thread
idiot!! keep it!! if your conscience cant handle it mine can, want my address?
unfortunately these are not my own words, i was done by some funny so and so at work! that money could do alot for my damages sphincter though!No way do I want the address of the man who said:
"my bum is loose, anyone any good with a needle and thread?"
I just did with my mate. We ran after a guy we thought had dropped it, but he said it wasn't his.
Hand it in? Keep it? Give it to charity?

Keep it. If you are stupid enough to lose it, your loss!
Criminal Offence to keep it as advocated by many on here.
It's called: Theft
Shame we have so many less than honest members IMO
Just have a think about the victim. It could be someones
Christmas you are ruining by considering to keep.
If handed in and no-one claims within I think 6 months
[or thats what it used to be] then the finder becomes
entitled to keep it.
What if CCTV has picked up on the finder ?
So finding something on the floor is now theft...our criminal system is bizarre!!
You are only saying that cos it's me and you have a bee in your bonnet!
