If your 15 year old found some money.

Say £20 in the street what would you hope their reaction would be?

Dsd found £20 was very pleased with herself, asked her if she had checked around her to see if anyone might have lost it no she said if someone loses it that's their problem.

So I asked her what if someone who really needed that had lost it, if that was their last £20 until payday. Again she shrugged and said 'so what, not my problem'

I'm a little taken aback by the attitude to be honest. Is it me?!

She’s never going to find the person who dropped it. Just let her keep it and stop over thinking. We’ve all found money on the ground right? I found a fiver on the beach once - was made up.

It's £20, would be different if it was £2000. I have found and kept money, I've also lost money. That's just way life is.

I agree with her.

Single notes are different to a purse. There is no way to identify the owner. The circumstances in which it was lost are irrelevant. The owner had already lost the note and there was no way to undo that, whether she had come across it or not.
