Yes. They should have added "or discuss it on Answerbank"

[Svejk]

I wonder what people think of 'advertising' finding money on the internet.

[DTCwordfan]

Not much it seems.

Where should the finder send their invoice since the police can't be arsed doing much anymore?

[Svejk]

There were over 300 replies on the original thread. I'd guess half thought Nailit should have taken the money to the police station. I just thought this was an interesting development.

[Svejk]

They're all busy, douglas, investigating 'thought' crimes.

But they're not saying keep it are they? Which is what naillit did, I believe.

[Svejk]

As an experiment, zacs, advertise on twitter that you've found £90 and see if anyone replies.

[Zacs-Master]

I appreciate its a very silly suggestion but it's miles away from the principle of 'finders keepers' which Naillit was championing. That's all I'm saying.

[Svejk]

mm,i thought he was right(in that case) but we won't fall out over it. ;)

[Zacs-Master]

No let's not. We all know where that can lead. Now, where's me whistle?
