Here's my husband's thinking after I asked him this post. (I ask him what he thinks about different post quite often. He seldom takes he bait.) He said that if he was in a far away place, and had no money, and he didn't know the person, he would take the money. But, if it was in his town, he wouldn't take the money. I asked him, 'why not?' and he said, 'because in-town people know you, and people are strange. I don't want someone coming back and saying I owned them money or saying that I stole it. I thought about this for awhile, and realized he is right. You never know what people will so. They are a strange breed! (We watch a lot of court shows.)

Yes, I would. Free money is free money.

Before I took it, I'd ask what he or she expected in return. If the individual stated, "Nothing," then I would take it, offer my thanks, tell him/her, "God bless you," and be on my way...but, on my way, I would offer another stranger the same, but keep a portion of the proceeds for myself.
