If you find a wallet

on the street with 1000 $ in. Would try to find the owner or would you keep it for yourself? Be honest! I am not sure what I would do. It depends on the actual situation. If I had no money maybe I would keep it.

Hello sonnenschein. If the money was inside the wallet and there was an identification whom the wallet belongs to then I will look for a police so they could give it to the owner.

Hi Sonnenschein, If I find a wallet with $100, I will return that to the owner ifI have the address in the wallet as I know how hard it is to earn money. In case if I don't have the address in the wallet I will defenitely keep it for myself and I will not handover it to police to find the owner. Good Luck.

I would try to find the proper owner. Just because it had 1000 dollars in it doesn't mean the owner is rich. It could be the last 1000 the person has. Or it could be the money for rent, so I would try my best to find the owner.

i would try to find the owner of the wallet but if i can't, i will just donate the money to charity. i will not spend the money because i believe in karma and i don't want anything bad to happen to me just because of the $1000.00.

The real truth if i found the way to find out the real owner. If not in the pocket so hard to find out but easy to find out and back the money if in the pocket. If no reason to find out the owner give a small donation in any poor person to settle in 2 the price. Dont get for your own, something do the good for others why not if there's a way to test your heart and mind of our LORD always be positive in Gods sight. A small thing if bad its lost it more Great future so do the best for much better AWESOME FUTURE in your life. I take the challange in a nice ways for God's well if do the best for pure happy ever life.

I've been in this position before, a couple of times actually and have always, and will always return the wallet to its owner. I have lost my wallet before, and even though I only had $20, I was still so grateful to have it returned, it had so much more in it - my ID, important documents and personal information. I wouldn't feel right keeping the money or the wallet, even if I was really broke. I have found loose money on the street before, and have happily kept it - that's a good sign and doesn't have any negative karma that I know of. I couldn't live with the guilt of keeping money that I could have returned to its owner with ease. =)

In my evil side i will keep it and spend it to buy things that i want BUT in my good side i think i will hand it over to the police station because that person who lost the wallet must be worried maybe they need the money to pay hospital bill or using it to buy food for their family because what goes around comes around what if its happend to me i must feel horrible like that too..

If I find some money then I wouldn't search for the owner but if it is a wallet then I would. There should be some ID or driving licence in the wallet so it is easy to find the owner but just for money I wouldn't search for the owner.
