I found a wallet today.....part II....w/ poll

NaTuReB0Y · 03-19-2007, 04:58 PM

Over the weekend, while walking back to my car in the parking lot from the mall I found a beat up kid's wallet. I picked it up and drove off. While driving I opened up the wallet and there was $35 with no identification, except a game card for one of those arcades. I used the money to fill up my gas tank.

The $1,000,000 question is: What would you have done?

Poor kid

KL2DC · 03-19-2007, 05:05 PM

Does this topic really justify a 2nd thread AND poll??

KL2DC · 03-19-2007, 05:07 PM

What happened to, "keep the money AND wallet"?

Would it have been better if the money and wallet was kept but duly donated to charity?

findtom · 03-19-2007, 05:12 PM

I'd turn it into the lost and found because the one time I lost my wallet somebody did that for me.

just4kickz · 03-19-2007, 05:18 PM

would turn it in... but i highly doubt the kid would get it back anyways... keep the money and pay it forward in the future... go volunteer at a homeless shelter for a day or something... or buy a kid some ice cream.

by popular demand!

mikeman · 03-19-2007, 05:53 PM

you did nothing wrong. there was no ID how would they possibly find the kid and I doubt the kid would go to the lost and found counter.

Didn't you just find $35 dollars or something? So isn't it just a $35 dollar question?

ska///235i · 03-19-2007, 06:21 PM

but the thing is...if you lost YOUR wallet will someone return it to you....prbly not

Nikki · 03-19-2007, 06:25 PM

if there wasn't and ID chances are he was under 16 or 15--that is so messed up taking a kids allowance money

jbake · 03-19-2007, 06:25 PM

there is nothing of real importance in there...i would just toss it, now if there was id and credit cards...different story

mayanh8 · 03-19-2007, 06:31 PM

I'd take that shit. Chances are, without ID, the lost and found people would have pocketed the $35 anyway.

StewtheBassman · 03-19-2007, 06:33 PM

Go on, take the money and run!

ska///235i · 03-19-2007, 06:50 PM

Natureboy......
The poll is against you, so you need to put $100 ($65 is for interest for the kids college fund) back in the wallet and drop it back where you found it

Hmmmmm.....a kid with an arcade card, he's prbly around 8-10 yrs old
now $35 to an 8 yr old is consider Baller....thats like $3500 for us

I second that. karma man!!

TheAcAvenger · 03-19-2007, 06:59 PM

Forget that. If the person was older, with like a drivers license, and credit cards, insurance info, etc... i would return the wallet. But the kid doesn't need $35 as much as your thirsty 330i does. Job well done

Not in this day and age...

MWcoupe · 03-19-2007, 07:12 PM

fill up the tank and buy lottery.

borsalino · 03-19-2007, 07:31 PM

I would return the wallet because I lost my wallet at school two times and both times someone has returned it to the lost and found with all my money there. It's just good karma to do the same.
