I think I wouldn't have.

A sum that size, yes. It's either someone's life savings or the previous owner was a drug dealer or something else worth flagging up. A tenner or two, no .

no.
And this is aibu, at least make an effort to shove a half arsed pretendy aibu question in, you aren't even trying.

YABU to take 40 grand from an old lady, yes.

"The students tracked down the woman whose name was on the envelope -- a 91-year-old who hid the money because she didn't trust banks. The woman's children donated the couch when she was in the hospital with a broken hip." [Fox News].

A little old lady owned the money so I'm pleased they gave it back.

I'd like to think I would give it back...

I would definitely give it back to her; I can't believe anyone wouldn't, once they knew whose it was.

Of course I would give it back, have you not seen Shallow Grave?

but they wouldn't know whose it was unless they tracked them down with the intent of giving it back.

Of course you'd give it back, if for no other reason than it might be counterfeit or drug money! Even if you had no conscience, you wouldn't want to get caught like that.

I would track the name down, then I would decide. Not the 'MN' answer I know, but it's honest

I would give it back, not that it was ever mine to do anything with.

they found a deposit slip with her name so they didn't have to make much effort to track her down, all the bank's detail would have been in there,
and it was her family who gave the couch away, not her.

now, would I return it...................hmmmmmm

Sorry the rest of the message didn't send, then my battery died.

I don't think I would keep the money.
