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

Where did you find it? On the ground or on a bus, or in someone else's handbag or what?

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

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.

Yes I reckon this is what I will do, I will give it a few days if no word , ill be back on there for a case of miller & few blu ray movies!

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)

put it on top of a horse

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

admiralofthefleet · 25-06-2011 03:08PM

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

sunflower27 · 25-06-2011 03:08PM

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.
