[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 373492, member: 13254"] It's easy, turn them into the office. It's the right thing to do. I once found a wallet in the middle of a busy street, had $60 or so inside. The ID was of a young man from another town not far away. I tried calling many times (at various times of the day)to the only phone number I could find with no answer. After about a week of searching with no results I bought a padded mailing envelope with some of the money inside and replaced it with the receipt of the cost of envelope and mailing, addressed it to the ID info and forgot about it. I hope the young man received it OK. I don't think I would ever turn anything in to the police department, seems there are too many criminals hanging out there. In the past I have found knives, tools, $20 bills rolling with the wind and no one around to claim them. I figure "finder's keepers, loser's weepers" on this. Where would you turn something like that into? Anytime there is a chance (even a slim one)to find the proper owner I do what I can. John, to try and answer your question. The only thing we can do to promote the "Golden Rule" is to live by it and to teach it to our children, hoping that they learn that there are greater rewards than those that we can put into our wallets. The rest of the world (as a whole)will not be trained by the ones that walk the walk. [/QUOTE]
