Drop it into the local Garda station,if nobody clames it in a certain amount of time I think you get to keep it.

Oh_Noes

Spend it on yourself. You'll lose €60 one day and it won't feel too bad because you found it before.

go to customer service in the shopping centre and ask there if anyone has reported losing money.

Leave your details with customer service desk in the shopping centre (dont say how much you found)

However tempting it might be to keep the money,it just might have been someones only money for the week

Because the Guards definately wont claim it as their own after the year is up. Definately not.

No chance! They would pocket it and then state that someone claimed it after, I believe 18 months.

Spend it on a meal with your OH; someone's loss is someone else' gain.

Good for you for being honest, but it is better for you to enjoy it than someone that has 50 odd allowances to make up their pay and can retire at an early age.

A girl in a shop handed back my Mam a tenner that had dropped out of her pocket.
Mam gets home realises it's not her tenner as she still has hers.
Is then up all night fretting about "the poor creathur" who can't buy his spuds.
Few days later goes back to the shop to hand it in. Lady says nobody has asked so keep it.
Mam spends 2 days worrying, calling me for what to do (I said spend it!)
Eventually one of those envelopes comes through the door looking for donations for kids in need or something. She pops it in and feels like she will go to heaven. The drama!
I say spend it on something nice and enjoy it.
(or wait for one of those envelopes)

Are you sure you didn't lose a 0 or two in your thread title OP?

stick it on midday in the pretty polly stakes at the curragh

I once found a stack of notes sticking out of an ATM in Liffey Valley. I had seen the girl at the machine as I was walking up to it so I grabbed the money and ran up to her and said 'were you just at the ATM?' (I had only seen the back of her till then) Her face suddenly filled with panic and I said 'you left this' and handed it to her. She was so visibly relieved and thankful.

A few weeks later I lost my wallet and no-one returned it. So much for karma.

Can't see it being safe there. Maybe sellotape it on, or nail it to the horse.

Ah ya's are very good, well done you! (I mean that despite sounding patronising). You'll probably have everyone who works at customer service calling ya with random numbers on the offchance tho!

Im just a skeptic because I once found €50 on the floor of Beaumont hospital. When I asked the people in front of me did they drop any money one replied with 'oh yea I think Im missing a 20''. Pissed me off and now if I find it I keep it and donate it to cancer research. The person who lost it wont be as careless in future and charity benefits. Win win.

And in english?

OP as another poster advised; tell Customer Service you found a sum of money, don't give details of the envelope etc. and leave a number to be contacted on.

It's an honest thing to do and you have no idea what that cash might mean to someone.

Did the same in Tesco the other day when someone left their notes in the machine at the self service. Still waiting on my good karma.

In to the casino and throw it on roulette If ya win ya hand back the 60 and have 60 for yourself. If you lose then you lose, easy come easy go.

It was in a white envelope so i'm guessing it wasn't FF

€60 to a therapist should sort out why you need to get advice for this! Blow it man ....... then you can spend the rest of your life feeling guilty. Which can be a very heady life-long feeling. All for €60!
