My wife found a wallet with a grand in it !!!

In tescos, she was so tempted to keep it, as we've had the lowest earnings ever in 5 yrs. But she did the right thing, and the guy in his 20's came over with a huge bunch of flowers and £50 to say thanks. just waiting for some awesome karma now.

Jeez, well done.

Of course you did the right thing and fair play to that, but
must have been bloody tempting.

I can't honestly say I would of done the same thing right now!

Well done. My first instinct would be to keep it, but I would know that most likely the person who lost it would be suffering and I would hand it in. Well done.

Karma means "intentional action" and refers to the universal law of cause and effect. Karma is created not only by physical action but also by thoughts and words.

I remember once when I was in a cue somebody found a purse and give it in to customer service then when the person left I went to customer service and said my grandma. Has lost her purse has anybody handed one in,I told them the colour and they give me the purse it only had 60 pound in and at the back was a old lady's bus pass so I kept the Money and binned the purse and put the 60 pound on a horse but it lost.bumper :) ;)

I had last year someone forget to take there cash from cash machine £200. I pocketed it but felt guilty a few days later so took it to the bank and explained what happened and few days later i got a thankyou letter from the rightful owner tracked down by the bank.

Id give it in. I know I would hum and har about it, but it would be given in. Maybe not in the past, but couldn't not give it back now.

Karma rules, I've had the evidence. We all probably have, it's whether you recognise it or not.

Tell your wife she did the honourable thing, well done to her and I think the person's response was appropriate too.

She can look the world right in the eye and feel good about herself.

As for those that (genuinely - not Bumper cuz I think it's one of his tall tales) advocate keeping it - shame on you.
It's a game of three halves!

My son found £70 in Asda and handed it in, he was only 10 at the time. They thought he was so sweet. If the money is not claimed after 30 days then you can go and get it.
After 30 days we went in and they said it had been claimed but there was no proof, they are to take the persons detals but they didnt have them.
I was annoyed as my son was honest but found the stafff to be the opposite, and i can say that because they were uming and arring.
I made a complaint but never got anywhere.

So a month later my son found £70 in a shopping car park. Now I dont know why he found another £70 we still find it bizzar. Anyway I went in with him and informed customer service that we found money. We would not tell them how much and would not hand it in. I said that if someone asked about lost money then they can call us and tell us how much, if they dont say the correct amount then they will not get the money. I also informed them that i would only wait the 30 days. I did tell the store why I did what I did and they understood.

Knowbody called so he got his £70 in the end.

Honesty pays.

I don't get this. He found some money and handed it in. End of, I would have thought.
