"The other week I found a purse on my estate. I quickly opened it up and it had a load of cards in so I went home to make a sign for the person it belonged to to contact me. When I got to my block I looked through the purse and there was about £200-£300 in cash as well as a load of contactless cards. Also a driving licence which had the owners address on it. They lived in the same block but further down so I rang their bell. Waited ages for an answer. When they did I asked if they were the person named on the card. She said yes then I said I have your purse. She buzzed me up. Opened the door whilst chatting on the phone, didn't know she'd lost it, just said thanks and continued talking on the phone. Complete blaise about it. I know for a fact that there are not many living on a Hackney council estate that would have handed it back. Wish I'd taken the money and given it to a rough sleeper. " Don't get me wrong, I wasn't looking for her to get down on her knees in appreciation but just lowering the phone would have been nice lol. I'd still do the right thing and hope if my kid had lost her purse someone would hand it in. | |||

Could have been their rent money for all I know. | |||

"I found a purse once I opened it and saw a picture of a woman with a child. I immediately closed it and walked to the Police station and handed it in. It wasn’t an object anymore or free money seeing that picture, it belonged to someone. Did I need the money at the time, yes I did. But I’m proud that the picture stopped me and my conscience had a part as well. " If you need money you always need money and one lucky find wont do much to fill the dent. The warm glow of doing the right things lasts a lot longer. | |||

"Hand it back to them, for all you know it might be the last bit of cash in their pocket. I’ve been stood at a cash machine where the lady has taken her card and then just walked off before the cash came out, I shouted her back to take her money and there was quite a bit coming out but no way would I take it " I did the walking off from a cash machine once and the person after me called me back. It was £50 and I was grateful. | |||

Now I’m fine for money I wouldn’t hesitate. | |||

" Something similar happened me. I found a wallet & details were in it as there was a student card & also bank cards & €60. I posted it on social media & located the person. Met them to hand over the wallet, she didn't even say thanks & couldn't have helped thinking I should have gone to town on her bank cards & spend spend spend | |||
