  2. If I found a wallet full of cash on the street with no ID I would keep it, there’s no point in finding the owner of the wallet if there’s no help of finding the person. But if it did have an ID I would find the person, give them the wallet, and make them pay me for finding it.

    1. I agree with Kevin because you’re giving the wallet back to them so you at least deserve something because you’re giving it back to them.

  3. If I found a wallet on the floor, I would pick it up. Then, I would open it to see who the owner was and look around to see if someone matched the license. If no one matches it, I would turn it into the police station. I hand it to the officer and they find the person through the I.D.. I will feel good about myself once it is returned to the owner.

    If I found a wallet on the floor, I would pick it up. Once I see no I.D., I check the amount of money. If there is more than 500 dollars, I would set it into a crevice where no one would see. I then walk away and go along with my day. I would pick it up if I wanted to, but it would be morally wrong.

  5. If i found a wallet full of money i would check who it is if it doesn’t have the information i will go to the bank because i can show them that i found a wallet full of money on the ground so i just let the bank have it for they can see who it is.

  6. If there was some form of licence or id I would try to find the person. But if there wasn’t anything just cash that would also be a little sketchy so I would also check the money if it’s laced with something . But if it wasn’t I would keep that money I mean finders keepers?

  7. What I would do if I found a wallet I would look to see is there is a id and there is not I would keep it because finder keepers. What I would do if there was a id I would first look at the adders and then take it and leave the id in a fire that way no ones would know that I took it.And that is what I would do if I found a wallet on the ground.

    1. I agree with Stevie because burning and ID/ drivers license in a fire is really smart and no-one would know that you took the wallet.

If I find it wallet with no ID and it only has money then I’ll take the money and keep it for myself but if I found a wallet that has an ID I will take some of the money because i should take credit because I found the wallet and then I’ll give the person back their wallet whoever it belongs to.

  9. If I would find a wallet full of cash and their id and stuff and get the money out of it drop the wallet and run the hell out of there but if there is no id then I would pick it up I would run with the wallet.

On the other side if i found a wallet with an ID or drivers license i would keep all the money and give all of the cards back to them including the wallet, just without the money because once again, i’m hella broke.

  11. If I found a wallet full of cash I would return it to the owner because they probably worked very hard for that cash. If it had the drivers licence then like I said I would return it. If it did not have a licence or something to identify the person then I would go to the police station.
