To each his own, it's kind of like asking six priests for an opinion on something in the Bible, you will get seven opinions. But just to answer you with a couple of quick stories I would have to say at 99.99% of the people here would be truthful and honest and turn the money in whether to a store or a bank or the police. Okay here goes first story someone I know when they were very young back in the seventies for buying speakers for the stereo system. They went into an independent store and purchased two speakers, they received two cartons and brought them home, and then found that they were two speakers in each box. The speakers were not returned. I myself ordered several chairs from a mail order company a few years ago, same thing happened two chairs per box, received two boxes. It took 2 hours of convincing the person on the phone to issue a pick up for one of the cartons. Recently had an internet order for a baby stroller and a chain store, and I had to go there to pick it up as they don't deliver something like that. One person checked me in outside the store, another person brought it out to me and didn't ask for my identification. So yesterday I just got in the mail that my order was canceled as I did not pick it up and they are not charging my card. So I'll ask you should I spend an hour of my time on a $20 charge that they did not charge me for to try to convince them to charge me? Small things like this happen all the time in the store two for one deals get on challenged that you still rang up the wrong price even though they have computers, waitresses forget to charge you for that orange juice and then get yelled at later on. But your story is asking about a bag of money and they are not enough real facts to decide what to do. If a $20 bill is on the sidewalk you pick it up and you don't wait around to decide to ask if somebody lost a 20. But golfer's here all the time lose the club or forget where they put the last club and they go to have a drink. I was just sitting at the first pub with three golfers next to me eating lunch and a nice lady brought in a club saying well why are you gentlemen forgetting about this beautiful club and returned it to him, of course it was his favorite club and this is just one of the nice things about living down here
