If you found an envelope with £500 in, what would you do?

[Xarea]

Kind of a rip from the previous thread, but with more of a dark edge ;).

Vote + discuss.

[Caution]

Keep it. Spend some and save some. ;)

[Geraint]

Keep it.

[Stefy]

Keep some, spend some, who wouldn't? if you handed it in, you don't get **** except the lovely thought that youve done something nice :@

[jackass]

I would think about it a lot, but in the end, I think I would give it into the police.

Besides, if no one collects it after a month, you get to keep it! :)

[Immenseman]

spend it, if it was a huge amount - hand it in

[lew!]

Spend it.. lol.
I'd give about £10 to charity to counter balance the guilt LOL.

[Alkaz]

Hand it into the police, could be someones rent or there mortage money or there heating bills or anything. I would also hope to god they didnt go to the police lol.

[Twist]

Wow never knew that poll would show the results.
Well, I look like a complete ****** now.

[James!]

Keep it obvs.

[Andys]

spend it :S

[Jack.Lfc]

Hand it to the police:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::$:$;););););)

[Moh]

Finders Keepers.

[LoveToStack]

I'd take it no doubt. But I'd be cautious about it, don't wanna be traced.

[Pyroka]

Buy a ****load of strippers.

[Immenseman]

If it was like millions THEN I'd hand it in to the police.

[Pyroka]

If it was like millions THEN I'd hand it in to the police.

No you'd buy thrones.

[Immenseman]

no i have enough, unlike you - poor peasant

[lPinoy]

hand it over to the police and hope to get at least 100pounds from the owner as a sign of thanks

[Fifteen]

Finders keepers and that that, people should really take more care of their belongings nowadays

[N-Dubz]

why do you need to ask? keep it.

would someone hand in your £500 if you dropped it? LMAO.

[today]

Spend it all, **** um.

[e5]

Spend some, save some. Spend on cool things/things I need :).

[luce]

Depends where i found it and if anything was written on the envelope. I found a wallet at southampton airport and handed it straight in, the lady who owned it bought me chocolates

[Sophiee]

Spend a little, save most of it.

If I knew whose it was, I'd probably return it though, however I wouldn't turn it into the police.

[DiscoPat]

Hand it into the police, could be someones rent or there mortage money or there heating bills or anything. I would also hope to god they didnt go to the police lol.

Could'nt agree more, and i tend to have alot of guilt if i do somthing wrong like that, you know what I mean..

[Shawnstra]

If there is a name etc. i'll try to return it. If not i'll spend it. ok. Donate half to charity. I'll probably not donate it though :P

[mike475]

i'd hand it in i guess, someone from my area lost £300 on the street, was her house rent money for the month

[Zak]

put it in the bank

[Invent]

I'd hand it in to the police like any decent person.

[Herman]

I'd just pretend I never saw it, and leave it at where I found it. But then again, it's £500, so it's safer to hand over to the police. I can never spend it though, guilt.

[5,5]

I dont know, I would think about it a lot, but in the end I think I'd take it to the police. Just like Alkaz said, it could be someones bills that they worked really hard for, on the other hand it could be some rich kids spending money, but either way its not mine, so I'd give it to the police most likely. Idk if they do this in the UK but here, if its not claimed in like 30 days, than you get to keep it.

[Jam]

Spend it on iTunes and other things easily illegally downloaded but I prefer to purchase them.

[RedStratocas]

naw i wouldnt keep it cause technically you can get in trouble if they catch you spending it, but i guess how would they know.

i think id feel bad, to be honest. i know how much it sucks to lose money :/

[Nixt]

I'd like to lie and say I wouldn't spend it, but in all honesty if it was just an envelope with all that money in what is the likelihood of you or the police being able to trace it back to the person it belongs to? So to be completely honest I would spend it. That's not to say I'm a bad person, I found a purse with a considerable sum of money in it and obviously this woman's driving licence etc, and I handed it in to the school's police officer. She was extremely thankful and it made me feel good. However I think there is a difference between a random envelope and a purse :D.

[Skajo]

I've lost about £200 over the years and I've seen none of it back so I'd keep it and spend it. I couldn't care less, what comes around goes around.

[Decapitated]

spend it all, as if you'd give it in the person shoudent have lost it in public in the first place.

[Sexy]

keep it and spend some of it on things i NEED!! :)

[RedStratocas]

spend it all, as if you'd give it in the person shoudent have lost it in public in the first place.

lol well obviously they shouldnt have but everyone makes mistakes. thats like saying if someone trips going down the stairs saying "well ya shouldnt have fallen down the stairs" lol. you can apply that to anything, thats kinda dumb logic tbh.

and yeah, like said above, its not like police go looking for the person it belongs to. they keep it until someone claims it, and if no one does, the person who turned it in keeps it. that sounds like the best situation, to me.

[partie2]

I would def spend and save it, if someone dosnt look after 500 quid then its there own fault.

[Nuxty]

yeh.. i think i'd keep it.
i would have to give some to chairty or a local community centre or something cos that way we feel better.

[Themaster1993]

I would keep it.

[Crimson]

SPEND IT ALLLL

[Immenseman]

lol jack.lfc said he'd hand it in to the police, what a lie - he's a scouser!

[leah]

save 300 and spend 200

[Juelz]

spend it all :P

[Alkaz]

It really makes me laugh when people say ''if they cannot look after it'' ''what goes around..'', if it was you who lost £500 you would be praying someone handed it into the police as its the money you had to go and get your car, pay your rent, buy your new computer etc.

pretty much sums up what I was about to post

[MeRkAgE]

depends what mood i'd be in.
if i was feeling good, i'd hand it in.
if not, i'd keep it.

[Bun]

either give it all to my dad to keep it for my hols or spend it all lol.

[tdi]

spend it, they're the ones that are stupid enough to be careless with half a grand. there again, meh.. depends how i felt at the time.

[Cypher-]

Treat myself to a banging weekend!

[camera]

spend it.

[drama]

spent it all in drink and hold a party.



and if i lost that much i'd jolly well expect the person to find it to do the same thing

[jesus]

fix my ******* car

[colourpot]

Keep it, spend it on a new phone and save the rest for summer (:

[The Professor]

I'd take the opportunity to buy 50 thousand penny sweets :D
