Yesterday appears in the news that employees of garbage service returned a lot of money that they found in the garbage, the owner of the money put it in the trash for error (wow...) and was a lot of money, in my country: 100,000 pesos of México (about 8100 USD). What would you do if you find a lot of money? Do you return it to it's owner? Do you spend it?

Wow... 1.7 millions, that's a really huge amount, I think I definitely wouldn't return it and give it a good use...

I would return it if it were that much money. If I found, like, $20 on the street? No, not really. It's hard to identify a random bill lying in the street, anyway. If it's a large sum, however, then, yes, I would probably turn it into the police.

Yes. How would we feel if we are the person who own that money and we lost it? So maybe thats the reason why we should return the money.

Yes when you lose something you feel so bad and you always hope the person found it return it to you...
