Default Re: My "Lost" pay packet

I found a wallet once in the middle of the road. I didn't even bother to look inside it but handed it in to the police. The officer opened it and there must have been around £200 in it. There was no ID in it. What's the betting the wallet didn't get back to its owner?

if it didnt then after 3 months (iirc) it would have been returned to you.
when i was a mere whippersnapper i found a wallet and handed it in, police took my name etc.
2 weeks later the sargent turned up at our door with a massive bag of sweeties for me. bought by the cops. the "gentleman who had collected the wallet £180 (1985ish) had declined the Sargent advice to leave a reward. My dad found out later from friends in the force the "gentleman" had had a lot of expense following this in the way of parking tickets, car lights not working etc.

I wasn't asked for any details other than where I found it. I was not asked any details regarding myself and I offered none.

I should add this was many many years ago when I was in my teens and unawares of the rules and regulations of such matters.
