If you found £1000 would you hand it in to the police ?

But if someone did happen to lose a bundle of cash (a grand) they were most likely using it for drugs or black market type things.

lmao on what evidence? People carry thousands and thousands of pounds in cash every day for legitimate business reasons, not least of which might be simply to/from the bank. I've personally never seen anyone get out £1000 to buy drugs or for back alley abortions

A grand isn't really a lot of money when you are talking legitimate business reasons. Maybe someone might be carrying it to buy something off their mate but other than that it is most likely for something dodgy. You do realise I am talking about just a bundle of money, not in a wallet or anything? Which suggests that it is just a quick cash trade, no faffing around getting it out of their wallet. I mean look at the police for example, when they stop people and they have loads of cash on them they know that the chances are it is for something dodgy so want to know why they were carrying so much. :rolleyes:

no way and i think anybody who says they would is a liar lol

lol well judging by the fact I saw a 20 on the pavement a few years ago by a parking machine, just rolled it up and put it in the machine change bit, so any tramps looking for spare change would find it I'd probably take it to the police, or more likely donate it to charity

20 is different from 1000...

20 is different from 1000...

yeah, its far greater, meaning I'd feel even guiltier for even touching it!

[scott]

hmmm I'd keep it (A) I'm sure I'm skint so y'know!

[immense]

i'm skint too but i could never take it for myself

[brandon]

I'd hand it in, the guilt I would feel wouldn't be worth the money.

I've had £500 in my wallet before in £20 notes and it was so thick I had to take it out and just hold it in my hand in my jacket. I would think that anyone with a bundle of notes worth £1000 wouldn't have it doubled over in a wallet. So that doesn't really suggest that anyone who was carrying £1000 out of a wallet and lost it was doing funny business. Obviously it could be but I don't think just because it was out of a wallet would really suggest that.
