Finder's Keeper's: Finding Cash On The Ground by kheme(m): 5:55pm On Aug 08, 2011
ok, so you're walking out of a cafe after browsing the net for a while, and you kick something and notice is a small bundle of cash, about 100 bucks in total,  what do you do?

A. Leave it
B. Pick it
C. Alert the cafe owners about it
D. Tell the police (lol)

what would you do and why?

as for me oh, some people same "leave am" but me i say "if i leave am, then the next tom, Joystick or harry to come by go take 100 bucks rich pass me". so honestly, i'd pick it up in an obvious but coded manner, and hang around for a few mins to see if anyone comes looking for it or if anyone's monitoring me. if after a few mins, no one's looking for it,  i'd walk away with it.

happened very recently sef,  was going to the bank and found 80bucks on the floor. i picked it up immediately oh, but went in the bank waiting for someone looking for money they lost lol but one one came, until i was done at the bank. so i left.

what would you do

I once found a large sum of money on the floor --- looking back today, I wish I kept it. Doubt the real owner came to claim it.

Picked a small Ghana -must-go bag with close to a mill naira. There was a cell phone in it, kept it open till the owner called. Returned the cash and the guy was in shock for months.

I am sure some people would not pick up the money for fear that the money was jazzed and picking it up may make them turn into a cat or a dog.

i would return it to the cafe administrators telling them to HELP ME return it to the owner.

i have done that a million times and am very comfortable with it.

if i see some notes lying on the kerb by the road side , i leave it there hoping that the owner may come back and pick it. but if its a bundle (though never happened by the road side) i would return it to the any nearby shop telling them to HELP ME return it to anyone who can state the exact amount.

i have picked phones a million times, i have returned them all freely and THANKFULLY, and am damn comfortable with it.

every time ma sellers have mistakely ballanced me extra i return the extras imediately. if they get confused i help them go thru the whole calculation to help them prove that i was right.

i have done that a million times, and am so comfortable with, because thats the way i was brought up as a christian.

Jesus was killed because the people chose to spare a thief - barabas, instead of him.

Re: Finder's Keeper's: Finding Cash On The Ground by adetunrayo(f): 5:03pm On Aug 09, 2011
I wont pick it, but I would rather notify people around if their are.

what comes around goes around you know. By so doing, yours might b return too.
Re: Finder's Keeper's: Finding Cash On The Ground by nigerhead(m): 5:14pm On Aug 09, 2011
grin grin grin , Nigerians and Jazz , grin grin grin see different tactics for picking up money.

Well, for me it all depends, if its dem 5 - 1000 Naira range, I go just waka pass, like say I no see am. If na Ghana-must-go-bag of money, I will see if there is a way of identifying the owner. Giving the money to the Police, is gon be a last resort. I no fit use my church mind give those Men-In-Black anything, or even near their station. I fit just leave the money for there instead of going to meet the police.
