Found money

[rodj]

Ii found �20 in a shopping square. I handed it in to the shop nearest. If it is not claimed by the loser within the next week does it become mine?

[pink-kittens]

yep, you wont see that 20 quid again reagrdless of who lost it

[ummmm]

It would have been yours. It now belongs to a shop keeper...!!!

[pink-kittens]

wasn't found on the premises, was found in a shopping quare and taken to the nearets shop
And I am not sure that just because it was found in a shop it belongs to the shop. You can then say if it is found in on the bus its the busdrivers, so on etc etc

[pink-kittens]

so now u know for sure it does? What piece of info made you change from think to know? I'd like to read it
I still say it is not likely. Why would it? How can the store prove it does?

[rodj]

Just to confirm it was found on the square outside the shops

Poodi's right. Police station would've been best. Doubt you'll ever see that �20 again. Honest of you though!

Hi, I found a mini Hi-Fi on a train once, left it into nearest Police Station, was told to call in in 3 months in case it wasn`t claimed, called back and was ofered a very old, tiny radio, which I declined, obviously a police officer took the one I had found. Is no one honest anymore.
