I found some money...

We are currently on holiday, arrived yesterday. Had to make up the beds and when I pulled the mattress up, I found an envelope with £175 in it. On the front of the envelope it had a woman's name on it.
Obviously someone has left this behind and I would have been devastated if I had lost that amount of money. My husband and I agree that if we handed it in (to the complex/police), it probably wouldn't reach the owner. Would I be unreasonable to give the money to my friend who is raising money to support a charity?

Was the woman’s full name on it? Can you not track her through facebook?

It probably belongs to the people that stayed there before you. I think giving it to the complex might be the best idea, they can check their bookings..chase it up if you are worried that it might not end up in the right person's pocket!

You know you have two threads on your unreasonableness?

This is a duplicate thread.

This is fairly straightforward!

It will likely be the previous occupant.

Why do you think it wouldn’t reach the owner if you handed it in to the complex?? Anything we’ve ever left behind on holiday has always been returned to us. Ditto police

Are you in a corrupt country??
Even so, do the right thing and hand it in.

Well it 100% won’t reach her if you give it to charity.
