Hand it in to who? The police? The person you gave it to would pocket it. So no I wouldn't hand it in but maybe give % to charity as it would make me feel like a better person helping people who need it

Depends.

If it was in a bundle labelled ‘proceeds from drugs’ or similar - then no!

Yes, My rule is if it is over £50 pounds Or under if you can identify who it belongs to then it has to be handed in.

"Hand it in to who? The police? The person you gave it to would pocket it. So no I wouldn't hand it in but maybe give % to charity as it would make me feel like a better person helping people who need it "

you mean it makes you feel better if you tell yourself that it would be pocketed if handed in to police.

Let's be honest, no-one would. My ex lost a wage packet once, company name and wage slip in the envelope with the cash and it was never seen again - was only a few years ago

Unless I could easily trace the owner and hand it back myself, no chance would I return it

I would hand it in. £1000 is alot of money but some poor soul may need it more than me. Just because there are dishonest people in the world doesn't mean you need to become one.

Yes. Guy at train station cafe left his wallet once, I didn’t look at how much inside but knew if I lost mine or lost cash I’d hope there were people who’d get it back to me.

I ran after him and gave him his wallet

If you give it to the police they will give you a receipt for it. If it is not claimed within a certain period then I believe they give it back to you - it is a fairly common procedure.

I have handed valuable items, that I found, into lost property, and later checked what had happened.

They simply disappeared!

If I found it in an ATM machine - I’d hand it into the bank or the shop that it was attached to with the time it was found.

Happened to me a few years ago at an ATM outside a bank, near to a major racecourse.

Guy in front of me, walked away from the ATM, before the money was issued. A large wedge of notes was dispensed. I took it straight away into the branch & handed it in!

The guy arrived a few minutes later, realising his error. After proving his ID etc to bank staff, I was pointed out as the "Good Samaritan" and he handed over £50 as a thank you for my honesty!

I'd deliberate for a while (who wouldn't?!) But conscience would win in the end and I'd hand it in.

Not quite the same as finding a pound in a trolley.

Essex.

Simple way round that is to ask for a receipt, the money/item is yours if its not claimed after 28 days.

But I'm pretty sure most police officers wouldn't risk their job, pension, prison over £1000.

Yes. I've lost valuable things, including money, many times and been very grateful when it's handed in.

I found a wallet on the road once with 800 euro and £300 in it. Looked through and found a matching business card to drivers license. Called said person and told him I’d found it. He came and picked it up immediately obviously and he couldn’t believe that someone picked it up and contacted him.

No one would? This thread is either full of liars or the majority of people would.

Of course, it's easy to claim you're a person who treats others the way you want to be treated but it takes more than talk. If I lost a grand I'd hope it was handed in.

If it was just a wedge of cash and there was nobody around then probably not. Where do you start? I would probably donate a big chunk of it.

If it was in a wallet/purse then definitely.

I've lost something worth more than a thousand pound.

Never handed in or recovered

So on that basis alone yes I would keep.

If the money had no I.D attached to it, ie not accompanied by a credit card or driving license then I'd notify a local nextdoor app that I'd found money and put the location I found it.

If someone messaged and knew the amount then I'd hand it over.

When you hand it to police, I don't think they can tell the person who lost it your details due to data protection. Equally you don't get to know if the owner is found. (Is this info true?)

My uncle found a wallet with £100 plus credit cards and took it to the address on the driving licence. A frantic lady answered the door and gave him £20 reward.

What about personal responsibility? If you're that careless with a grand in cash then perhaps it's a good life lesson to lose it. Bet it wouldn't happen twice!

So, if I found a wallet or purse, I would've even look to see how much cash was in it... Just check for an ID, then try and contact them.

If there's no wallet or purse to go with it, and it's just loose cash with nobody in the immediate vicinity, I'd probably keep it.

That'd be a good start to paying off some of my debts :p
