DD found a wallet with $700.
She rounded up her friends and they went to a guy's address and beed told he moved over a year ago.
Called a number in his wallet and got message of his probation officer.
Friends pressing her to split money. She is calling me. What to do? I am afraid of a bad karma she said.
We had decided she is turning wallet to a police, I said if guy will not show up at least someone will benefit from these money even if police office and she said there is a policy if money not claimed it is hers.
What would you do and was I right to tell her to go to police?

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

You made the right decision. Did the police give her a time limit on when the money she found would be considered hers?

Good call... it is the right thing to do to turn it in and let the police handle it. Also, think about it another way... does she want to keep the money of a guy who has a probation officer? If (and when) he finds out that she had his $$ and spent it, he may not be so nice to her.....

 Good job, loony! I'd be afraid of the bad karma (and the guy) too! Who needs it?!

No, she said they searched the guy and found him in MD (last address) and told her 'let's see what is going to happen'. I forgot to ask if they gave her any papers about it. But WHEW, I am relieved. I am still wondering IF there is a policy though... |
