What would you do?
 

Re: What would you do?
 

Same as a dropped wallet etc- would have tried to find the rightful owner. Actually I would have reported it to the police as I'd be a bit concerned about what sort of person might have hid it in a suitcase and then come looking for it.

Take it to the dry cleaners to get it laundered and used it as and when.

Or keep it, and use the notes to do all my shopping, paying in cash. You keep your legal money in the bank and distribute the used notes. ;)

Looks like they were only traced cos they used a card to pay for it.

So personally I'd use cash to buy stuff from charity shops from now on! :twisted:

spend it !!! pay of debt.

they purchased it so legally its theirs?

"Police have charged a couple with 'theft by finding'"

- Apparently not according to Oz law.

If the money hadn't been from drugs etc, then I'd be concerned that my bit of luck meant screwing some other person out of their life savings. If I didn't earn it, didn't win it, or it wasn't knowingly given to me, then it isn't mine to keep (morally).

Ah but if you find 50p in the street do you go and hand it in?, so if you find 50k do you hand that in?, where is the line.:confused:

Re: What would you do?
 

anything above £100 grand I hand in :-)

The owners fault for selling the case IMO. Though I would probably not keep it.

Basically the case was worth more than they thought... does this mean if someone sells an antique to a charity shop, and someone buys it then realises it's worth a fortune they are a thief?
