I dream of finding the wallet stuffed with enough cash to dig me out of this mess, but in reality, if there's any way at all to get it back to who dropped it, I will. Found a wallet a few months ago on a day trip, laying in the road. Ending up using the names on the credit cards to Facebook stalk a dude, found his company website, called him, and met him a half hour later to return it. Had like 800 dollars in cash it. I just... Can't be an asshole, even when it would benefit me

You're good people, don't regret it. Incidentally, I'd probably grab a handful of the cash and just hand it to whoever returned the wallet to me like that. It was lost anyway.

Dude was very appreciative, he was panicked because he had pictures and sentimental things in it. Did not offer a reward and we didn't ask... I did hope. But I didn't ask. Lol

I would definitely make space for you in my lifeboat.

That's one of the nicest compliments I've ever gotten. Thank you!
