To find a lost wallet and keep the money inside

Today I found a wallet on the floor in ASDA. A decent leather, heavy wallet with credit cards inside etc. I quickly handed it into a security guard who then handed it into customer services. Told DH and he asked if I kept the money inside? He was half joking but said that he would keep the cash as a “finders fee” and that it served the boomer right for dropping their wallet (it was a wallet of an older man)

Tried to talk to him, would he really keep the money he found and he would! Although he then accused me of starting a fight.

I wouldn't dream of it. Keeping the cash would be stealing.

It served the 'boomer' right? Yeah, massive turn off right there.

Your husband's attitude is disgusting. What kind of values is he teaching your children? Has he always been ageist, dishonest and a bully?

So he's a thief? Attractive quality...
