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.

Fair play to you. When you are trying to do the decent thing you expect others to do it too. And well done for earning the money, if no one has claimed it then you've done the decent thing and the money is rightfully yours. If only there were more people like this.

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

No, not end of. If you hand money in then there is a time limit which is 30 days for the owner to make the claim. If they do not then its yours, end of.
If there was no time limit to claim and you had no rights then where would that money go? would it go to the store? would it go to customer service? No thats why you have this right, it goes to the one who found it. Finders keepers, but in an honest way

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.

Im afraid Karma will not come until your next life.....

No, I don't think you understand the basic concept of karma!  Shina's Missis is very probably feeling extremely happy about herself - and quite rightly so - and Shina is obviously proud of his Missis's honesty and integrity too.  And the guy who got his wallet back has been given faith in human decency; these are all the effects of karma.

There's probably lots of other positive effects too.

I'd of pocketed half.

Ive found £20 as a kid in the street and kept that, ive found a wallet as a 20yr old and handed it in to the campsite, only £20 in it but the person got back to me and her being grateful really made me up,

 i found about £50 in a self service till in asda, handed it in, but got no thanks for it, and suspected it would be pocketed by the employee, next time, i will do as the guy above and leave my name and address. found a mobile too and handed that in, or and a fiver. kept that though.

On a simillar note, you can buy joke £50 pocket paper hankys, which when scrunched up, look like the real thing. we have great fun putting them on the pavement on break time and seeing peoples reactions, one person stopped their car, to grab it, great fun!

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.

Now I dont know why he found another £70 we still find it bizzar.

You don't? Its been mentioned in this thread already, it's called Karma  

No such thing as coincidences, 'mysterious ways, his wonders to perform'.

You know what its like for kids. He thought that he would get the £70 back after 30 days from the store so in his mind he had already spent it. He was gutted when he never got it. Then to find another £70 really made his day and this time after 30 days he did spend it

  A few months back I found an iphone with about £100 tucked into the case, I went out of my way to take it to the police station.
  They told me that if it hadn't been claimed within 30 days it was mine, so to make sure I contacted them.

  as I didn't hear anything I contacted them, it had been claimed the day I handed it in, but I never even got a thank you phone call.

  After that experience, unless I actually see someone drop it, then it will be mine. Peoples tough luck for not being more careful.
