In contrast to that 'never hand money in'

cloud493

I got my wallet back today that I lost in town, with all my money in it, right down to the cent, and my medical card . So, do hand money. If you know exactly who lost it anyway.

Did you grill them on what it was in, yeah?

What kind of idiot saves money in his wallet

mcmoustache

That kind of money should be under the mattress and not walking around with you.

cloud493

To claify this, I had the money with the coins, in a pikachu money box. I took it out, to go and spend it.

Pj!

Found an envelope with a couple of thousand punts about 20 years back. I was young, but old enough to know that I should hand it in. But also old enough to know that I could stash it and spend it in bits over a number of years and have an epic time.

Anyway I picked it up, looked up and down the street and noticed a young woman from the other side of town looking very panicked (she didn't see me). She was looking under cars and stuff. It was obvious it was hers.

So I quashed my dreams and gave it back. I felt sort of proud walking up to her to return her hard earned. I suppose I was thinking that she might give me a small reward. £20 was the figure I had in mind but I wasn't picky.



She grabbed it off me and more or less shouted at me asking was it all there. I stood there stunned and she walked off.







Bitch.

PrettyBoy

All your savings (~€600) are kept in your wallet that you walk around with every day?

There are some kind people about, who/how did they give it back to you ?

cloud493

It had my school ID card in it, with my name, school, on it. He dropped it in there, I went in this morning, they told me a gentleman handed it.

Did you report the finder to the gardaí? If not, why not?

cloud493

Why would I do that?

You forgot to mention your school student card.

cloud493

No man card & inclusion of coins = definitely a purse

I am a kind person and I would give it back. And I have no doubt that you would do the same. We shouldn't think that other people are not as good hearted as ourselves.

I dont know if this is a bullshit after hours post or not ... cause thats alot of money to be carrying in your wallet. But more importantly, thats alot of money to make someone just keep it and throw away your wallet.

Indeed, some people just don't have any class. The matter is simpler in most other European countries, where persons who find valuables and either hand them in to the police lost property office or contact the owner directly are entitled by law to 10% of the value of what they find.:)

I have found several mobile phones and some other stuff over the years (never any more than a single banknote in cash, and I've kept that), but always refused the money offered me. I tend to believe that what goes round comes round.;)

Glad you got it OP...would have been a crappy Xmas for you to lose that amount of money...

i handed back a stuffed wallet before and the guy never said thanks... typical d4 batsards eh ?

themadchef

Sure what self respecting student coming up to Christmas doesnt go arounds with the guts of €600 in his wallet.

Toby Take a Bow

I used to find loads of wallets when I was working in retail. Oh the fun we had rooting through people's wallets, looking at their notes and receipts and cards and the like (we also used this information to locate the owners).

I think where we worked was the 'drop off' point for thieves dumping wallets, though, as there was never any money in them.

cloud493

I work in retail currently, and we have a box of stuff in the back thats 'left or lost' Don't think any actual effort is put into finding whose it is though, so.

Daisy M

I was in a department store today and a young lady lost her purse with 400e in it, it was all her christmas money. She was going frantic looking for it and my sis came over to tell me what had happened and asked me to help look. I turned around and spotted the purse on a shelf. I was so delighted for the girl she had a young child and christmas would have been ruined if she didnt get it back. She was so thankful and tried to give my sisters baby some money as a reward which she wouldnt accept. No reward was necessary the relief on the ladys face was a reward in it self.

Esoteric_

Handed back a guy's wallet in work in town today after a customer handed it in. Don't know exactly what was in it as I didn't check (guy came in looking for it) but if it was you, HI! Thanks for the reward! /sarcasm

emer_b

I found a really tacky green and white ring when I was about 10. Held onto it for a few days, wore it going to school, thought it was a bit gaudy so let my sister wear it to school another day.
Parents eventually reported it to the guards. Turns out it was reported missing by a lady who lost it out of her pocket, was real emeralds and diamonds!
She gave me £100 reward, which was a fortune...until I was made share it with my sister, give a tenner each to my brothers, and put a few bob in the trocaire box.

LETHAL LADY

I found €20 in a bag of walkers crisps once and I kept it all for myself.

OP is too embarassed to mention the Tesco Clubcard that was also in the wallet

cloud493

Tesco's are ****. Game reward card though :P

I do hand up stuff when I find things.

I heard this story from a guy I use to work with, he was out "hunting" around the Skerries area and he found a bag loaded with cash, 1000s, he called the Guards and it turned out to be proceeds from a Securicor robbery.

He got 20 quid reward and all he ever talked about was what he should have done with the money.

The Scientician

I found a wallet one time and coincidentally knew the person from the IDs in it. I knocked up to their gaff and they thought I was mental for returning it.
