To find a lost wallet and keep the money inside

Me personally, I'd have tried to find the person on LinkedIn or FB and tried to get it back to them personally

Me too I think - I'd rather find the persons name and put it on Facebook or similar. I wouldn't trust random shop workers or security guards - by handing it in you really have no idea if the person would ever see their wallet again.

Absolutely horrible! Apart from the fact that it's stealing first and foremost, the owner might be broke for the rest of the month without that money. My DH took a purse to the police station that he found in a phone box. We were skint at the time, it belonged to a lady who had just got her pension out at the post office. She was in tears because she thought she would never see the money again.
Your husband should consider how this might impact an older person. And remember he will be old one day.

I hate this. Many years ago I found a wallet on tbe floor of a pub (kicked under a couch). I handed it to the car staff and didn't even look inside.

A friend told me the next day that her boyfriend had found it twenty minutes earlier, stolen the cash and thrown it under the couch.

The bar staff must have thought I was a thief

Only dropped my purse once and was handed in at college with my money in which I was so grateful about as my dad had given me money for new jeans and I think would have killed me. 😁

Wow. I would say that least now you know what he's like buy you already do! So I actually agree you are picking a fight, you know he is a thief, why poke that bear?

My advice is know your enemy. If you ever divorce him you know he will be hiding stuff because he has a takers mentality.

Yeah he sounds awful tbh.

Your DH sounds like a total cunt. 'Serves the man right for dropping his wallet'? Good grief.

No, of course I wouldn't keep the money from someone's wallet. I might keep money that I found on the pavement (rather than a shop) on its own with no indication of who had dropped it, but I absolutely wouldn't steal money from a wallet I'd found. That's really, really shitty behaviour.

What a disgusting man your husband is. How would he feel if that was his dad? Or if it’s him in future?

I found a wallet in the disabled/baby changing loo in Asda once, it was stuffed with cash. It wouldn’t have crossed my mind to even take a penny out of it before handing it in

Thank goodness most of us are honest. I always live by the rule to treat others the way you want to be treated. If your husband dropped his wallet would he want someone to pick it up and nick the money.

Ugh that's just so wrong. I think it'd change my view of him quite a lot, were he my husband.

Even though no one admits it on here, when I've lost my purse and actually got it back, it's ALWAYS had the cash taken out of it so the majority of the public do take the money out. Would be nice if they didn't, but it's kind of a given. I was just grateful to have my purse and cards back.

I found a childs purse not so long ago with £20 in and posted it to a FB group and they were shocked I returned it, with the money still in there.

Morally bankrupt attitude to take. I'd be rethinking my relationship with someone who thought that was OK.

Definitely would feel uncomfortable with this, but a part of me realises that security will probably take it if you dont!

Me personally, I'd have tried to find the person on LinkedIn or FB and tried to get it back to them personally

He is dishonest and a thief. Clearly not a one-off but a persistent thief who does it for kicks. How can you ever trust him?

He sounds like a horrible disgusting man. There's no way I'd be with someone who enjoyed stealing.

I found a wallet full of money when I was a young teenager - must have been at least 20 £20 notes if not more. I walked to the local police station - handed it in with my details and about 2 weeks later had a letter delivered from the owner with £100 in thanking me for my honesty.
To do anything else is obscene - probably some poor old man's pension for the week
:(

Urgh! What a horrible husband you have!

In ASDA, you would have been on video emptying the wallet. Lots of high resolution video in store following you around.

You did the right thing.

I won't lie...if I found loose cash on the floor, I can't be 100% what I'd do. Part of me would say hand it in, part of me would say it will probably never find its way back to the person so just keep it.

Finding a purse or wallet though...and opening it, removing the cash then giving it back...seems another level to me. Just flat out theft, he just as well have pickpocketed it.

Horrible attitude, I'd be so disappointed in my DH if he had said this.

My DD worked in a supermarket as a teen and forgot she had her birthday money in her bag on a shift the following day. It all got nicked, over £200. I can remember how devastated she was.

I couldn’t look at a man again if he was prepared to do that.
That’s somebody’s Christmas shopping money I would imagine. My dad used to go out with a wallet full of cash about now to buy gifts.
How would your DH feel if someone stole from one of his parents or grandparents?
With a cost of living crisis, and some people really struggling with heating, imagine stealing food and warmth from an older person?
It absolutely knocks me sick.
I know if my dad had lost his wallet and someone had handed it in he’d have wanted to know who had been so kind and knowing him knock on their door with a ‘few bob’ to say thank you.
My mum left her purse in a cafe once at this time of year, and a 9 year old boy had handed it in. She was so overcome with gratitude. And that was for an honest young boy.

Exactly.

I sometimes have questionable morals but I definitely wouldn't keep the money.

Be careful you're not tainted by association. You can tell a lot about people by the company they keep
