I found a wallet with $400 bucks in it.

[Nerdius Maximus]

In the Wal-Mart parking lot. I turned it in to the customer service desk. Alright, Karma, I'm ready for you! Glad I found it instead of some asshat who would have kept it.

 

[shrantastic]

You did a nice thing, but I hope the counter guy didn't keep it!

Spin the karmic wheel for your prize!

No, it was a manager that I knew.

 

[Michael Chris]

Good for you! A similar thing happened to me, I found someone's work ID badge and drove across town to give it back. Kind of annoying, but I was very happy about it.

I had something similar happen yesterday. We're refinancing our house, and the closing documents came by UPS yesterday. Actually, they dropped off *two sets* of documents, ours and those for some couple out in California. I'm sending it back, but if I were an unscrupulous type, that package has a *lot* of personal info in it!

 

[StolenThunder]

Finding $400 was your good karma, I'm afraid.

 

[Freakness]

good for you, Nerdius!

 

[TheBrew]

Nice. Money earned is sweeter than money stolen.

 

[Lindley]

And money with sugar on it is sweeter still.

 

[Mr. B]

Good for you, doing the right thing and all. One should never expect any reward outside of personal fulfillment, though. No good deed goes unpunished.

Why is it when I lose something it doesn't get found by someone like you!?
Good going! Nice to hear that there is still some honesty in the world.

 

[USS Triumphant]

Um - that was my wallet. PM me for the address to have it sent to.

(Just kidding. Good show, there. )

 

[Vic Sixx]

Something similar happened to me, a few years ago, I sent for some tapes from some company, $175. About a week or two later, I got a letter from some guy in chicago, said he found my money order laying in the street and decided to mail it back to me. There are honest people around.

 

[RevdKathy]

Reminds me of the time I dropped my wallet with cards and cash by the stones in Avebury. Some saint handed it in at the NT shop.

One day, someone will do the same for you.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

You're a better man than me.

 

[Holdfast]

I wouldn't have kept the money either.

I'd have spent it.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

New ivory back scratcher?

 

[Holdfast]

$400 would buy me niello silver.

 

[JAG]

Good for you!

 

[K'Ehleyr]

Very admirable NM.

From the other side, if you were the one who lost the wallet, how would you reward the honest person who handed it in?
I'm thinking at least $50?
