..Hi.. at this time, I'm very desperate to earn more money.. and If I find a huge amount of money, I would definitely return it because I don't know if the owner is also desperate to have his money back to use in an emergency.. I wouldn't like to enjoy something that doesn't belong to me.. Give it to authorized person? maybe no.. If I can contact the owner, then I might as well return it personally.. I can't trust anybody with a huge amount of money.. anything can happen.. So I better return it myself to make sure that the money goes back to the rightful owner..

Yeah, you're right, the person who owns the money might be in dire need to have it for emergency, but what if it's an extra money for the owner? Well you did the right thing, whatever the reason, it's not yours and you don't deserve to keep it for yourself. Yeah, it could not be safe to give it to someone who's in authority, it's better to give it personally to the owner, so you could also receive some prize,:-) Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I would try to find the owner and in the meanwhile, I would use it, probably invest it and see it grow. If the owner is a good person and if it was his hard earned money, I would return it. If it wasn't I would keep it, even if the owner knew that I had the money lol. I wouldn't give it to any authorized person because you can't trust these now-a-days.

Well that's kinda good idea, it's good to invest the money and if one day you'll found the owner, you gonna return the money and you'll have the interest.lol Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Well if I find any money, even if it is little, I will keep it. As the saying goes, finders keepers and looser weepers. If it is a real huge amount, I might just give some for the charity and keep the rest for my personal use.

Oh, this is just the first time I heard that saying, finders keepers and looser weepers, it's right. If that's what you think is good and right, then go for it. At least you share it to charity, that could be good.Me, I can't tell right now, because it could be different when you put it into writing and when you're in the situation and living with it. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

ermm... I don't know exactly. Fancy if I found that huge money I will buy anything. But it's return to my heart, say that I use the money and spent them...no. My heart will say how if the man who loose his money is you. So give it back to the owner and you will get your payment....(usually)...:)

Yeah, usually when someone found a thing or money mostly the owner will give you something in return as gift for the good things you've done. That's what I often heard and watch on television news. Well you don't know if you found the money the owner is rich he/she might give you the half that would be great! Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Hi, I think this is a difficult situation, and I don't hope to occur such situation. In one side, as human being, I must admit I want to keep it myself, moreover that nobody know it. But, in other side, I also feel very guilty to keep this illegal money. It is not my own. How if I myself in the position of someone who loss the huge money. I think I prefer to keep the money until I find the owner and return it only. I can not happy to use such money, I think.
Have a nice day.
Best wishes,

Oh, yeah it depends on the person who found the money, since some think that it's fine to keep and they would not be guilty while others think it could not be good. It could be real difficult situation since we all need a money. Yeah, keeping the money until there's someone who show up and look for that lost money, the best thing we could do. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Yeah, you're right. In most cases lost things,money rarely return to the owner. It could be easy to say that you'll gonna return it, but when you're in the real situation it could be hard to give it back to the owner, especially when you're in dire need for money, unless you're conscience is real good. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!
