AIBU to regret handing in cash found in a wallet?

Found a wallet with £200 cash in it on a train. DH made me hand the wallet and cash in at the train station. I’m so annoyed - yes it was the right thing to do but we’re struggling financially and there’s no way that cash is making its way back to the owner. I shouldn’t have told him and should have just kept it.

Hand it in. Always, always hand it in. You don’t know how much the owner may need their money. I’d never consider anything else ever and I’ve been very poor.

if there was ID in the wallet with an address I’d have driven to the house and handed it to them.

as you can tell I’m 100% honest, not sure if it’s a good thing.

I can honestly say that I would never consider keeping a wallet/purse that I found. I know I wouldn't, I don't even have to think about that.

I remember being in a shop once and an elderly lady was distraught because someone had stolen her purse out of her handbag.

People who steal from others are the scum of the earth.

I agree. My poor grandma when very elderly had this done to her twice. Absolutely scum.
