In your first scenario I would turn the money over to the Red Cross or another good charitable organization.

Second scenario... you are learning. Its not yours, so give it back.

This is not a difficult decision. If its not yours then give it back. Karma is either very good or a beyotch. I want it to be really good in my life and hopefully in yours as well.

PS Brinks should have given him more of a reward IMHO.

Not saying that Brinks is in the same category as any of these examples, just wondering if there is any *line of demarcation* where you would not feel compelled to return the $$.

I have found wallets, noticed women leaving restaurants w/o their $5k LV handbags full of CCs and cash or found expensive cell phones and ipods and never once thought for a second about keeping them. No grey area for me there. Somehow the dropped Brinks bag has always been different to me, though. I think that a lot of what I consider to be good people would keep it.
