I was at Tesco and there was a women crying cause she lost all her holiday money! Felt so sorry for her. I gave her £100, which seems like a lot to give a stranger, but I found £1000 in the car park

Oh keep it, where ever you hand it in they will just say thanks and pocket it.

I wouldn’t hand it direct to any person but would try do good with it. By soup and a sandwich or a Burgerking and hand it to homeless. Go into some of the homeless shelters round town and dontate to a few of them and take a general look around and see who is deserving of a €50 note and just give it to them randomly. Paying it forward all ways feels good.

Then when this is done sit down and have a pint somewhere quietly and have a few pints with the rest and a smile on your face knowing the people you have helped.

But you wouldn't have help anyone though, someone else did with their lost money. I found a wallet once with no ID. €550 cash in it. Handed it into the local garda for that area and left my details. Got a call from garda 3 weeks later to say it was claimed and forwarded on a thank you from the person with their details. Single mum who had been using her late grandfathers wallet and it was her rent money for that week. She was as happy about the wallet to fair.

Keep it.

In the past I would have said hand it in. But Dublin no one will hand in stuff I lose, so they can go get fucked if they lose stuff. End of the day its only going to even itself out with stuff I lose and stuff they find.

your imagination

Hand it in the the Gardaí. If it's not claimed you'll get it back after a time and can decide what to do with it then with a clear conscience, but if you dispose of it now and see a notice somewhere tomorrow where someone lost their rent money, grocery money, car repair money, or money they'd taken out to buy oil for the winter, you'll feel pretty shitty. A paper bag might seem a strange place to find €300... But anyone who spends time with kids know how easy it is for them to do daft things like feeding the contents of your wallet into the dvd player or slipping notes between the slats of a vent... The person who lost it might not have even known it was in the bag!!

Could even be back to school money kept separate for that purpose alone. Times are hard for a lot of people.

OP no one can tell you what to do.

But do what makes you feel right.

Be that try find the owner, get a hotel room with one of the ladies off fab, or donate it.

But end of the day it's up to you.

"Nice to see so many honest people about."
this really has nothing to with honesty!!!

honesty is if you see the person drop the bag and you return it !

but if you dont know who dropped it or how to identity the person, even putting a sign up about the bag will get you many hits and you will never know who dropped it for sure!

in the case I would do with the money as I see fit! but i wouldn't hand it in anywhere! that just stupid!

it would be different if it was in a wallet and you can id the person

It has everything to do with being honest. I wouldn't have that on my conscience. If I found money it's not mine to keep. Each to their own and all that.

It’s not his money, therefore to keep it is dishonest. Someone lost €300 and are probably searching everywhere for it. If it was me, I hand it in to the Garda Station with my name and get a receipt. I’d also contact whatever shop was around where I found it and let them know I found a sum of money. If he gives it to someone else helping them out, it’s not paying it forward. For starters it wasn’t his to pay forward and secondly, It’s actually theft as it was not his to begin with and by putting it in his pocket and doing nothing is theft in this country I’m afraid but sure paying it forward sounds cool doesn’t it when it’s not your money

I know, most people would lie and say they would give it to the cops and keep it.

But I am too honest, and say I would keep it 100%, I would also not help someone with engine trouble.

Lost about that much one december on the bus while doing christmas shopping. I was delighted to get it back from the bus company. Just think of the most logical place someone would look for it, maybe a facebook group
