What would you do?

[The Backyard Charizard 1,202]

Please help....

The wife and I are having a moral dilemma...

I realise this is not football related but I need as much exposure before the mods rightfully shift it to the General Discussion section 

[DemonOX 8,837]

Hand it in to the local cop shop. 

If u r meant to have it the cops will return it to u after no one collects it. 

Good luc.

Put it on us to make the 8.

[Return to Glory 8,453]

Put it on a quaddie, loading up on the last leg. Or donate it to the school, demanding they rename the canteen 'Krazy Jays'

[Little Goffy 14,754]

Return to police, give them the details of where it was found and what date/time.

If anyone has reported it missing, they can give correct amount and details, they get it.

If nobody claims it, it goes back to you.

All good.

Agreed. It is probably the days takings from the local weed dealer at the school, won't claim it

[Biffen 12,949]

I'd buy the whole primary school drugs.

[Little Goffy 14,754]

Also - probably don't give out any more details on Demonland, or we'll all be calling the police saying we lost 3x$100 notes

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,525]

Do you want to know what is 'right thing' to do, or what you 'should do'??

Which I did, outside of a Primary School

What about option 5: Donate it. No guilt for you and no worries about honesty from others.

 

[Lucifers Hero 40,524]

First thought was 'finders, keepers'.  It could have belonged to any passer by and not anyone at the school

Then I read the early posts and felt really guilty.

So if you feel really really bad, report it to the police (hold on to the money if that is allowed), and give them contact details so if someone reports it they can call you. 

After a reasonable wait eg  1 weeks revert to first thought:  'finders, keepers'.

Option 4 seems fairly reasonable.

[praha 11,253]

Keep it. Anyone that has a $100 note to begin with, can afford to lose it imo.

I found it. Public property. No owner. Is mine.

[Ethan Tremblay 31,243]

Finding cash in a public area and keeping it is still stealing. I'd be handing it to the local Police, chances are no one will claim it and you'll get it anyway, clear conscience.

Just buy it for the teachers... they need it more

Who is going to know you "stole" it? Anyway, this is a moral dilemma, not an issue of legality. 

I'd keep it, even if it is breaking the law.

No doubt. Kids are already drugged up on ADHD medication or gender realignment pills.

Booooooooooriiiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggg!!!!!

[mo64 5,883]

Assume the money was intended for a drug deal, and by keeping it, you're doing a good deed.

What happens if the person who lost it knows roughly where they dropped it. There's CCTV cameras in the area which capture old man KrazyJay putting it in his pocket and walking away. KrazyJay's kids go to the school and he's recognised on the CCTV footage. Parents will talk and his kids will have to leave the school. They'll grow up hating their Dad and may become criminals themselves. 

 

Just saying....

For $50 I'm happy to leave the thread here.

And there's already too many Collingwood supporters in this world. 

[Sigil 1,002]

If you are really worried about it, go to the cop shop hand it in, no one says boo after a few months and you get the phat lootz.

Interesting thread tho...

[Trisul 674]

I would've gone for 4 if not for the "Share the experience in detail with the school principal".  Shady buggers would work a kickback scheme involving the janitor..
