What would you have done in the same situation?

[Goodsoulette]

I would have probably just handed it in at the police station, I wouldnt have gone to any effort myself. What a tight old witch though, 30 cent tip and just a hundred dollars for all that. Oobish!

[drestie]

Actually, here in NY most of our news is fluff.
I think they don't want us to think about all the real stuff going on in the world (much of which is our fault).

[ummmm2]

Yep....I would have done the same...

[drestie]

I definitely I would have too, but I would have been grumbling the whole time about what an idiot that woman was!

[naz_nomad]

no way ...kerrrrchiiiingggg

Hi estie
geat story, i think I would have told the woman how lucky she was and not to be so stupid in future. I probably would have accepted the $100, that is one very humble and nice guy, bet he achieves his 15 minutes of fame and I wish him all the best.

Do you remember this? fantastic show.

[whiskeysheri]

Aww! I would definitely have done the same! I'd hope someone would for me, if the the tables were turned. I don't think I'd have accepted the money, 'though I would have regretted it, LOL! :o) x

i do indeed Joe and we watched it the first time around, it was a dshow and launched all those amazing careers, i know it was out just before redford directed his first film, the one with Judd nelson, can't remember it's name but Mary tyler Moore won an oscar i think.

[Joe_the_Lion]

Nelso, I think you mean Hirsch my dear dotty.

"Ordinary People", very good movie.

[dot.hawkes]

sorry yes, i alwys get thos two mixed up, not their faces lol their last names, yes i saw it at the pictures when it came out, it's the one with the lad who lost his brother in a boating accident.

[Pippa68]

Judd Nelson is a dish... :o)

I loved that show, Wardy ~ I was only a kiddie when it was on TV.. I loved Latka.

Blimey, too right she din't want her name published. The tight old witch!!!!

[curlyfilm!]

karmha.......................

he will get his reward in other ways

[Ctrak]

In hindsight, he did the right thing as he got $100 anyway.

My immediate reaction, to be honest, was that I'd have given back 30. Maybe 28 if I got greedy. But I wouldn't have been that honest, I don't think.

Reinstate the thread!

I would have done the same. I would probably have opened the case myself to find identification and returned it. I believe what comes around goes around and i would lay awake wondering what trauma my keeping whatever they had lost would be causing them. I couldn't handle that. If on the other hand i had put in a good amount of effort to find the person and nothing came of it thn finder keepers.
Once my mother found a gold ring in a sealed bag of oranges.
She called the distributor and asked them to put up a notice in the factory and to give her tel #. Well a woman called and described the ring in detail and was so thankful because the ring was a special family gift. There was no need for a reward as my mother said her reward was putting a smile on that womans face and doing what was right.
