What do you think most people would do with a "found" wallet?

I don't know, maybe most would keep the cash(or some) and return the wallet. I would return all though. If I knew it was from a corporation, I would try to contact them somehow, or just walk in and explain. If it was from a known thief, any items I knew(not that I would) belonged to him, I'd return. Any that I was unsure of, and didn't know who they belonged to, I'd probably just leave it where I found it, or take it to a police dept. maybe.

I have had wallets returned, purses returned, all with substantial money in them... people didn't even leave their names so I could thank them.

So to reinforce the belief that what goes around comes around, I always return lost items, no matter what.

I've found 2 wallets, both with i.d in them. One had money, the other didn't. I returned both of them. I just think about how I'd feel if I lost my wallet and nobody bothered to return it. I'd feel pretty crappy.

my answer would be the same regardless of the owner. #1. i have lost a wallet or 2 in my day and the hassle of replacing the items is a real pain. the golden rule is a good rule to follow.
