If you found money, would you keep it?

I saw a guy recently "find" $5 as it blew out of the buskers guitar case, he caught it and tried to walk away but the busker pulled him up.

To answer the question I would most likely keep any found money that looked like it couldn't be traced back to it's owner.

No, I'll spend it.

If I saw someone drop some money, I'd give it back to them.
If I found a wallet, I'd make sure it got back to the owner.
If I found some money on the floor and had no idea where it came from, I'd keep it.

It depends on how much it is, is it loose cash or is it in a wallet, and if there is a clear and obvious way to ensure it gets back to its rightful owner, or not. It would also depend on if whoever I handed it to was likely to not give as much of a shit about getting it back to the person who dropped it. If they wouldn't be able to figure it out either, they'd probably keep it, so why am I handing it to them?

A large sum and/or in a wallet, with a clear way to put things right, either by taking it the police or if it was dropped in a place and around people I can identify to be truly the owner, then fine, I would definitely make efforts to get it back to the person who lost it. But smaller sums of loose paper money, and no way to find the person, ehhh.

About ten years ago a friend and I were walking through the neighbourhood. It happened to be my birthday.

We walked past the parking lot of a golf club, and on the grass verge was £10 just lying there on the grass. My friend picked it up, handed it to me and said something about the universe must have wanted to give you something for your birthday, lol.

At first I said oh, we should hand it in to the reception area of the golf club.But he pointed out to me that since it's only 10 quid, they're probably going to pocket it themselves anyway.
He also pointed out to me that the people who are members of this golf club are wealthy and won't be crying over the loss of a tenner. But I'm broke so keep the tenner. I did.

Seriously I'm not losing sleep about some guy with an annual salary I could probably live off for ten years, missing his ten quid.

A few yrs ago I found about $85 that someone dropped in a parking lot. It was with a receipt so I could have stuck around and asked the person who returned to the car where the money was next to if it was theirs (I'd ask about the receipt first of course).

But I needed the money so I kept it.

A long time ago I found a $50 bill in a parking lot. I kept it. I find pennies on the street a lot.

I would if it were just lying around some random spot with no way to find the owner

I returned a guy's wallet to him years ago because his driver's license was in it and I found his address...he was very pleased

I'll let you in on a little secret: You gave the manager $12.00
