if you found 500$ in a wallet with the persons ID on it would you keep the money ?

[DesiredUserphag]

Picked up a wallet at Golds Gym today that was fat with cash and cards... turned it in to the front desk. I'd only keep money if it was somewhere with nobody around and no IDs. Do unto others....

[Straffe2x]

I found someones wallet once, with everything. Tons of money, credit cards w/e, I returned it because I am not scum. Later that week i left my wallet on top of my car outside in my apartment complex for a couple hours untouched, I like to think i put in some good wallet karma.

[VinnyPazRules]

you also have the info to track the person down and return it...

I for one would 100% keep the money but would return the wallet... be honest you *******s, you're not a "good" person for returning the cash. Karma doesn't fuken exist anyway.

I would keep the money and throw the wallet prob leave it where it was

[Gt3x24x7]

I'd return the money and not touch a single thing in the wallet

Has happened to me before and I am grateful the people who return my belongings are honest individuals

One day the same **** will happen to you OP

I'm one person whose iron will overpowers greed and selfishness

[CHARBACK]

I'd put it in a bank for a year, let it accumulate interest and return it in 1 year with interest

[AzzRaze]

500 dollars is too big of a sum, dude wasnt walking around with that much money for no reason more than likely. Could never steal money from a wallet thinking about it better seeing as id know who im stealing from. Don't fuk with karma like that. Finding 20 bucks on the floor is totally different though, lunch money for the week right there~

lmao look at this shiet, *******s rationalizing stealing 20 bucks but not 500, then talking about karma. Some of the dumbest shiet ive ever heard in a while.

brb its okay to steal 20 you wont feel bad about it, but 500 fuk no.

[_Muskelberg_]

I'd keep the money.

his/her fault losing the wallet. next time take better care

but I'm broke as fukk these days.... so if I didn't need the money I'd probably return it

[JohanXDash]

if i found a wallet with money and ID, honestly i would return it with everything, if no ID in wallet, would keep money

[wnc817]

Only poverty, low-IQ, Sub-Humans would keep the money.

[J3T]

You're so pathetic how can you return 12k are you actually insane? can't believe this I'm angry just reading this you're such a *******.....should of robbed that slot after that

I would definately not keep the money OP I would just spent it

To this day (10 years later) I still randomly think about it and how bad I wished I kept it. I mean who even keeps that much walk around cash on them?!

[Workout4ever]

I'm a broke college student so i'd keep the money and try to find some way to get the wallet and his stuff back to the owner

I must also add I don't believe in this fantasy mystical force called Karma

[fabryzz]

imo only 2 ways to go about this:

1) take the money and run, just leave the wallet where you found it for someone else to find.

2) do the right thing and return everything as is to the person who lost the wallet.

all this in between sort-of doing the right thing by at least returning the wallet is bs... they will suspect you took the money anyway.
If you want to do the right thing then do it. If not then you gotta make a clean getaway and not have it come back to you somehow... just imo

[AzzRaze]

brb its okay to steal 20 you wont feel bad about it, but 500 fuk no.

Lol did you read the rest of the scenario cuzzo?!? I wouldn't steal money from a wallet period nor money whose owner I knew, for example if money fell out off someone's pocket and I witnessed it happen. I would however pick up 5 or even 20 bucks off the floor without hesitation because if I don't someone else sure as hell will. That's a pretty fuking obvious rationalization if you're not too stupid to understand~

[AceMuscle22]

I would return it without taking a dime. In the long run, $500 bucks is nothing. But having the guilt of taking someone else's money and the bad karma lasts much much longer

[para_gene]

found a couple hundred one time and returned it. they were really thankful because the money was for their kid to get the hell out of the house and go to summer camp. I kindly refused the $10 they tried to give me. no karma, just trying to help out some good people.

gjdm misc. ran out of reps on the first page. srsly returning everyday to this thread when off spread.

[BostonRockets]

Return it. If I have the opportunity to return it I would. Would it be easy for me to do? Who knows it's hard to say no to free money but ultimately I would have to make myself return it. Of course I would be tempted to keep it but I strive to be the best person I can be and if I don't return the money what other ******* sh!t will I let myself rationalize in the future?

People saying get off your high horse blah blah blah, it's funny how you are so greedy and inconsiderate that doing something like returning SOMEBODY ELSE's wallet is so outrageous to you that you can't even fathom somebody else doing it. Really shows how messed up your moral system has gotten.

[tehgosu]

id return it, but first id put $500 of my own money in it also, and then see if the guy returns me my money once i return his. if not i have his address and id go steal his tv when hes at work.







and maybe take a chit on his floor

Lmfao died

[deerdiary]

I would return the money 100% of the time.

It makes me happier seeing other people happy than having $500 which would last me maybe 2 days. Giving the wallet back to the stranger is a lifelong memory, something he or she will never forget or even tell their children or grandchildren about.

Lifelong gratitude from a stranger or $500 quick dollars? The answer is simple.

[Desi_guy]

Will return everything. I have to die one day and stand before Allah and answer Him for my deeds.

[gwem32170191]

I would track the owner down and give it all back. $500 isn't anything to me right now, but it might have been rent money for that person.

Positive vibes crew.

[ontclone]

i love how misc is so anti-religion but they believe in karma. lol

[Chesso95]

as far as i'm concerned this decision is based on how rich you are from the start

as a poor college student, ty for the money

[ansatsuken]

I'd return both.

[DPBizzle]

I'd put it in a bank for a year, let it accumulate interest and return it in 1 year with interest

Great answer. Pleasant surprise. I think the person would like to befriend you after such an exercise in restraint.

500 dollars is too big of a sum, dude wasnt walking around with that much money for no reason more than likely.

"Karma" has been mentioned almost 25 times in this thread. I'm actually astonished at how readily people will devote a sense of belief to a social construct that CANNOT be proven to exist. If anything, karma is just a vague, weak and tenuous causal connection that people form, simply because they want to attribute a sense of justice / order to the world, without offering credence to organized religion.

[Bobgnarley]

I'd keep the wallet and return the money.

[LtGoose]

I'd keep the wallet and return the money.

Edit^ Merlin









Not srs, I'd return both. Found a wallet with 200$ once, had the guys ID in it so I mailed it back to him. He ends up coming to my house and thanking me, gives me a 50$ gift card. Are you *******s seriously so in need of money ya would steal from someone? Christ get a job.

[Tbone991]

it depends how i was doing financially at the time honestly

[tehgosu]

Maybe if it was 10k in a plastic bag on the beach. Or a package with something else in it nomsayin.
