    Someone probably just got a loan from the Credit Union as they are struggling to pay bills.

    Karma will catch up with you anyway OP. Maybe in the form of a bus! :rolleyes:


    He'll probably keep that as well!!!!

    i found money like this once , and put up notices in shops near where it was found .
    not saying how much was in it

    3 weeks later a young woman called , and knew exaclty how much was in it to the penny. it was her wages from shop she worked in .

    i was smashed and really needed the money badly .

    but she got it back , and i felt good .

    Its posts like that which shows me daily that there are still some very decent people in Ireland.
    Thank you alphabeat. That type of attitude and action makes you a further credit to Ireland - and your family!

    €300 - that wouldn't even get me a good days punting for Cheltenham in 2 weeks time ffs :rolleyes:

    The money wouldn't make a difference to me tbh but it may to the person who lost it so I'd hand it in!

    Anyone else hoping the OP loses €400 tomorrow??

    I am keeping it, What would you suggest ? Garda station ? Not paying for a garda to go to coppers tonight. Would any of you pocket it ? be honest !

    If you are not happy giving it to a Garda then why don't you give it to charity? Plenty of worthy causes out there that would welcome that money.

    I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for a cut of the €300, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you give me my money now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

    I would hand it in the Garda station without question - Karma will kick your ass otherwise.

    Why would you start a thread knowing that you will be slated and trying to defend yourself ? If you knew you were going to be judged for being a thief, why admit to it ? Why not just go on about your business with your three hundred quid and enjoy yourself instead of coming on here to show yourself up?

    i have found money on the street/school/work and handed it in before. a few times actually, i seem to keep finding it
    in this case i think i would do the usual "sum of money found" notes in the nearby area

    unless it has some form of I.D. in it there is not much chance of it being identified so the law of finders keepers applies here
    If it was a wallet, that would be a different matter

    If a person can show by confirmation from a bank, near where it was lost and know the exact amount and the approx time it was lost, there is a very good chance that the Gardi would trust a person walking in to their station and saying they lost it.

    The Gardaí? F*** that! That'll never see the owner again, but you'll be told it will. I'd sooner give it to SVP or the likes if you feel a bit guilty. Be better than some cop to spend on doughnuts and coffee.

    Holding onto something that you know is not yours, I believe is still a crime in this country - no matter how you got the item.

    Before you all jump up on your Moral high ground, Yes I am going to keep it. 6x50 euro in a white envelope. Its either me or the guard I hand it to at the station, and dont be telling me any different. I hate types that tell me to hand it in and probably rob stuff in work or live at home and hand up a pittance every week for their keep. AND if you still live at home, have the guts to share how much you hand up each week...Washing ironing, hot water, evening meal, open all hours fridge etc !! internet etc.
    What's the point of your thread?
    Did you find the money near a bridge?

    I've misplaced my backpack before, and my wallet at least twice.

    I got them back, but only because there are decent people out there who aren't opportunistic *****.

    OP, you sound like a dick IMO - keep it if you want, but don't expect me (or anyone on here) to clap you on the back for it, as you've probably made somebody's life very, very difficult today.

    So if you "find" a car with the keys in it and drive away with it then it's yours and you've not broken any laws ? :confused:

    Ehhh no,, legally finding and keeping is stealing and you can be done for it.

    If you hand it up and it is not claimed in a year and a day then it is returned to you.

    charity! to help pay for the pension of their CEO, ya right they're as big a bunch of crooks as the filth....

    he should look to find the owner himself or just spend it, no need for a third party

    Sure they might have left it there for you. It might be Mario Balotelli just leaving random envelopes around the place. You wouldn't know like.

    By the way, where was it found?
    If it was on a main city high-street, there is a somewhat small chance that the street is covered by CCTV?
    A quick check by Gardi when someone comes in and reports the loss in hope it was handed in (with the approx time), and there's a small chance (however small) that someday Karma will come back to grab you!

    I think you know what you're doing is wrong and you came here hoping for a few people to tell you they would keep it too, that way you wouldn't feel as guilty.

    Would you not even try to make some bit of effort to find the owner? At least if you made an effort to find the person, you could spend the money in peace if you couldn't find the owner.

    I was collecting JSA from the post office a couple of weeks ago, and handed her €2 so she could give me my payment in all notes. Later that day when I was lodging it into the bank the teller told me that I'd an extra €10 and asked if I wanted to lodge it all. The lady in the post office had given me €10 too much. I went back the next day and handed it back to the same lady. She had realised her mistake soon after I'd left the previous day and was very grateful at my returning it.

    To further rebutt the OP's opinion of a typical AH lurker; I'm currently back living with my folks. I buy all my own food, do all my own cooking, washing, ironing. I help with cleaning the house, mow the lawns and hand up considerably more than my share of the bills.

    OP I hope you will reconsider handing the money into the guards. Someone somewhere is having a very stressful time because of losing that cash.
