cash dilema (5 Viewers)

[richnrg]

I found some cash (just over £100) in a scrunched up bunch of notes on the floor under a seat in the stadium when leaving a football match the other evening. I was one of the last to leave so not many others around, and everyone on that particular row had left. No wallet, just the cash. What would you do in my situation?

Contact the club?
Give it to charity?
Spend it?
Other?

What football stadium was it?

What football stadium was it?

is that relevant?

 

[Nick]

is that relevant?

Very, depends who the person supported

 

[Marty]

If it was something small I'd just keep it but for a large amount like you said I'd contact the club and failing that, just give it to charity.

 

[richnrg]

Very, depends who the person supported

ah, good point. It wasn't at a 'generally disliked' club if that helps.

 

[ajsccfc]

My rule of thumb is if there's a viable way to get it back to the rightful owners do that, otherwise finders keepers.

Yeah contact the club. It'll be someone who had a ticket around there, and someone may have contacted them asking if anybody had handed it in.

If nobody contacts them then it ends up yours anyway, but at least it'll end up yours while you feel morally superior.

cash - keep.
Purse,wallet, bag etc - hand in.

That's my mantra anyway.

Don't ask me, I once was given too much change by HMV, got all the way back home before I realised and then went back into town to give them the money back.

And that was only about £3.52.

I always hand it in.

Hi guys, I lost £100 the other day at a football stadium.

Has anyone found it for me?

no sorry, the amount I found was slightly higher. Hope it turns up.

Personally I'd keep it, but you clearly have a higher moral code than me (most people do!), so if it bothers you then give it to charity. If they took £100+ cash to a football ground and not even in a wallet, then the chances are the charity would benefit more and whoever lost it will learn a valuable life lesson to be more careful with their cash.

...but what if the cash was the whip-round for small orphan puppy with cancer?

if it was, I'm spending it

Yup. A friend might have given him that in order for him to have one last nice meal before his one day left to live diagnosis came to fruition.

You may have deprived the poor man of one last tiny smile.

Ha ha. in fact, fuck it, don't contact the club......make it a prize for this game......

My go: £115 @ Crystal Palace.

 

[Otis]

If it was £107.53 it was mine, but you can keep it.

The daughter can go without school meals until the summer holidays. She's developed child bearing hips at the age of 13.

I once found the wallet of a 19 year old Californian guy on a train with £500 and €250 and all his cards etc. Considered keeping it but handed it into a police station but took £20 for my troubles. They ended up calling me to say they got in touch with his parents the next day, they asked for my address and ended up sending me a nice watch
