I mean &#8230; What <em><strong>are<\/strong><\/em> the ethics of found money?<\/p>\n<p>The reason I bring this up is because last week, while walking in a parking lot, I found a $10 bill laying on the pavement. And the feeling that came over me was similar to when I get a really <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id618-nobodys-perfect-my-10-dumbest-money-mistakes-part-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">thoughtful birthday present<\/a> &#8212; or when I find a <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id631-tired-of-money-heres-101-alternatives-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crumpled sawbuck<\/a> in the pocket of a winter coat I haven&#8217;t worn for many months.<\/p>\n<p>I know what you&#8217;re thinking: <em>So, Len, did you consider trying to find the rightful owner?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You bet! I thoroughly scanned the parking lot, looking for people who may have dropped it. And while I did see two folks walking to their cars, they didn&#8217;t look like people irresponsible enough to have carelessly dropped five-bucks.<\/p>\n<p>So I kept the cash.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, I believe Federal and State law says &#8212; and I&#8217;m paraphrasing here &#8212; finders keepers, losers weepers.<\/p>\n<p>Finding loose money on the ground is kind of like winning the lottery, although the payoff is a lot smaller. Perhaps it&#8217;s more accurate to say it&#8217;s like <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id528-dont-get-caught-paying-the-stupid-tax-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">winning a lottery scratcher<\/a> &#8212; not that I do that sort of thing.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, that was only the second time in my life that I ever found something other than a loose coin on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>The other time was back when I was in third grade; I found a ten-dollar bill while walking to school. Yep. I could barely contain myself when I found it too! After all, that was <strong><em>a lot<\/em><\/strong> of cash back then &#8212; equivalent to more than $80 today.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, give a kid eighty bucks today and he&#8217;ll think he won the lottery too.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, by lunch time, every kid on campus knew about my good fortune.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Ethics of Found Money<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of course, there&#8217;s found money &#8212; and then there&#8217;s <strong><em>found<\/em><\/strong> money. Obviously, there is a point where the amount of found cash becomes large enough that not turning it in to the authorities becomes an ethical issue.<\/p>\n<p>The question is: Where do we draw the line?<\/p>\n<p>To me, the answer is totally dependent on the circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure a lot of you will disagree with my assertion that a single loose bill as large as $100 aimlessly blowing in the street should be considered <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id1477-how-being-absentminded-resulted-in-a-2750-year-end-windfall.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a personal windfall<\/a>, no pun intended.<\/p>\n<p>However, I also believe that a wad of cash, or multiple bills tied up with, say, a rubber band or a money clip is absolutely <strong><em>not<\/em><\/strong> a windfall. In those cases, I would certainly turn the currency in.<\/p>\n<p>I would also turn in a $100 bill laying on the floor of any business establishment. Or, say, the backseat of a taxi. That&#8217;s because, in both cases, I can easily envision the owner quickly determining exactly <strong><em>where<\/em><\/strong> he lost his cash.<\/p>\n<p>If the money is in a wallet, purse or any other container with identification, then I think that money should also be turned in &#8211; regardless of whether it held $10 or $10,000.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Do You Say, Readers? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m curious to know what is the most amount of money <strong><em>you<\/em><\/strong> have ever found?<\/p>\n<p>Do you think it&#8217;s unethical to keep a $100 bill you find on the ground, rather than turn it in to the authorities? If so, would you also turn in a loose one-dollar bill to the authorities as well?<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the ethics of found money, where do <strong><em>you<\/em><\/strong> draw the line?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">Photo Credit: shutterstock<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it okay to keep money found on the ground?
