Moral advice required!

[NiceCupOfTea]

OK, upon leaving flat earlier saw a 20 pound note on the landing.

Was in a rush so picked it up pending deciding what to do with it.

Thoughts :

1) Keep it - unlikely to get back to original owner, but definitely bad karma...

2) Put it back on landing - chances are it will end up in somebody else's pocket, not the original owner.

3) Put up a note saying I found "some money" and if anybody wants to claim it pop round - a load of hassle, owner might not see it or realise they lost it or even know how much they lost...

What would you do?

if they can tell you the serial number they can have it back.

Alternatively put it in your wallet and donate £20 extra to comic relief on Friday.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Best suggestion so far!

[vixpy1]

I'd give £50 to comic relief if those bloddy celebs would stop singing..

they are Horrendous!!!

all for a good cause though

Yep, unless you live in a block with anybody who might be a bit hard up, in which case pop round and ask if it was theirs - afterall charity starts at home! Otherwise give it half of it to cancer research and put the other half towards a drink for yourself for being so generous

I like the charidee idea, cancer research or MS Society I think

Don't think anybody living here's on the breadline particularly

I wouldn't want to presume anything about where you live mate, if you think i was suggesting you live in a big dirty tower block or something.

even if you live in a 'big dirty tower block' when you see the films shown on friday night you might just feel like the richest man alive.

Are you saying that my flat's grubby?

Oh, hang on....

Screw the note into a tight ball and throw it into the air... what God believes is not yours to keep he will keep hold of. Any any he feels you deserve he will let fall back down to you...

And heres me thinking this was a thread asking for moral advice

[love machine]

I would put a note up saying, has anyone lost anything of importance (don't indicate money) and if no-one claims it, it's yours. That's what I would do. They would have to say it was a £20 note though.

2nd that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[deeen]

Funny, I'm sure I came back from yesterday's trip to Kent £20 lighter than I should have done. This note you found, what did it look like?

[maxf]

If you live in the kind of place where £20 doesnt mean a lot - keep it and donate half to charity (of course if it doesnt mean much you could donate it all).

If it might be somebody's housekeeping money then you have a dilema because the chances of finding out who it belongs to is remote. Perhaps a notice?

In honesty - I personally would keep it. Not being mean but I'd pick it up, look on it as good fortune and pocket it. I would be much more inclined to give extra to comic relief on friday though.
