Couple Finds, Returns Over $11,000 Found Near Golden Gate Bridge by unclenna(m): 12:37pm On Feb 21, 2013 |
A couple visiting San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge on Valentine's Day discovered an unattended camera bag in a nearby parking lot. Inside the bag: credit cards, some papers and (wait for it) over $11,000. |

If you are in their shoes will you return the cash and the bag. DROP YOUR VIEWS |

Yes, I most certainly will. It's all about principles. Do unto others what you want done to you. I've been in situations where whilst waiting to withdraw cash from an ATM, the person ahead of me took out her card and receipt from the ATM but forgot to take her money. I called her back and she was really thankful to me for it. It wasn't much though, just a tenner (£10) Now fast forward to a couple of weeks later. I too went to an ATM to withdraw over £100. Don't know what I was really thinking that evening but suffice to say, I just took out my card and walked away. 1 full minute later, a lady ran up to me and handed me my cash that I'd forgotten to collect from the ATM. I can't tell you how grateful I was to her for that. Sometimes, things happen for a reason... and I do believe that Karma can be a b!tch or come back and bite you in the bum. It pays to be honest jare, no matter what your financial situation might be. 1 Like |

Yes ooo, every single penny of it. I don't know how that money was made, where it came from, or even if it's a bait. I never pick money from the ground when I come across it, hubby does and says that's his good luck. Not me oo. There are too many strange things happening. That money even if it's a penny might be curse itself. Plus if I had lost my money I would be so desperate to find it intact wherever it was lost. The greatest blessings are from above. Honesty especially with money dealing is the absolute best policy. |

I'd certainly return it...but will find the owner myself not go through Nigerian police.The why is obvious. The first thing you should ask yourself if you've got a clean chance of taking something that isn't yours is..."is it worth your concience?".Its just a matter of days,months,or years before you spend it all but would you ever be able to enjoy the booty, forgive yourself and have some peace? “There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.” Times like in this case are times like that 1 Like |
