Well I was at a local convience store today and when I walked outside low and behold there was a wallet on the ground. It was 3AM and no one else was in sight so I figureed finders keepers. Upon opening the wallet I found $90 and soome that peaked me interest. It was check made out to the person. It was completely filled out sig, name, date, and all and at the bottem where it says For: MAY ALLOWANCE was scribbled in.....
Very good point about the honesty. Remember this is almost $400.00, 90 in cash and 300 in checks for this poor kids allowance. Also as a side note, no credit cards or license was found. Just an ATM card, the money, checks, and a few old torn business cards.
If you attempt to cash the checks and get caught, you could end up in prison. Imagine how much a couple of hundred dollars could f*ck your life up forever. Jobs, credit checks, etc.
To me it's just not worth it. Why have a permanent record for something so stupid?
Just give it back. It wasn't yours to begin with, right?
BTW-It could be one of those "dateline" hidden camera newscasts. Maybe they have you on videotape picking up the wallet....trying to see if you'll give it back. Ever think of that?
They would have stopped me before I could get away with the money. Good point on cashing the checks. The fraud charge and some jail time or atleast one hell of a fine is not very inticing. I am stuck on the fence between being honest and returning the wallet to the place I found it or keeping it. Horrible decisions...I guess it really just comes down to being good:bad, Right:Wrong
Whatever you do, don't return to wallet to the place where you found it. Some goddam cashier will make short work of your honesty. As said above, find the bank that the ATM card belongs to.
Good idea. Cashier probably makes 6.00 an hour and an extra 100 would be nice for her. Not to mention she could probably cash the checks too. It's a PNC Bank and they are all over so it should be easy to find one.
Wish I'd gotten an allowance like that. I had to start working when I was 14 to get whatever I wanted. I would give it back, besides the check thing could turn into legal matters.
Cmon man, return it. My wallet was stolen last year and it sucks royally to know your 3 weeks of work $$ are down the drain. And you gotta go get new ID /cards etc...
if its someones wages i would definately give it back.
