Just found £90 on the pavement

[berri]

Do I keep it???

DH reckons if I hand it in to the police it'll just make it into one of their pockets, but I can't help thinking it might be some little old lady's gas money...or not!

WWYD?

How is your moral fibre today?

Hand it in.

If you keep it you'll only feel horribly guilty and won't feel good about spending it.

Hand it in to the police. Someone will be worrying themselves sick, and the good karma will come back to you

Keepkeepkeep as long as it wasnt in a purse, obv!

Is it in Winchester? If so, a bank robber robbed a bank to redistribute wealth.

Keep it.

Give it in to the Police, it is theft if you don't and you may be able to claim it later if no one says it is theirs.

If you hand it in to the police you will get a receipt for it and will be able to claim it yourself if no-one else does within a set period of time!! FIL did this when he found a pearl necklace years ago and MIL has had it ever since. Do the right thing!

either hand it in to the rozzers, or give it to charity.

They won't keep it!

They will log it and you WILL get it back in a few weeks (it used to be 6 months but I think it's now 4 weeks)

and they will give you a receipt for it.

£10 or £20 keep it.

£90 hand in and hope it doesn't get claimed.

Really sad that this has to be a aibu. OF course it needs to be given it unless you're a scummy thief...

It's mine!

Hand it in. Obviously. You'll get it back if it's unclaimed after a few weeks.

So YANBU. Your DH is making silly claims to try to justify keeping what's not his.

Do you really need to ask? Hand it in.

Of course you need to hand it in!

wonder how many mumsnetters are even now heading down to their local nick to report £90 lost just in case

OH fgs, hand it in. how could youthink of keeping it and then in the same post talk about it being someone's gas money?

Have handed it in, feeling better now :)

Well done berri - I would have done the same.

Oh I think that was mine. Could you post it to me?

Handy that you live so close to the police station.

FGS!!!! The police would just put it in their pocket?!?!
