Lost or Found?
So what would you do if you were walking through a parking lot with no one else around and there on the ground in front of you is a folded up $20 bill? -
You know it's not yours. It did not fall out of your pocket or purse. There is no one walking in front of you that dropped it. There is no one within close enough range to yell to and ask if they just dropped it. In fact there is no one around at all. -
Do you feel lucky that you found it? -
Do you feel guilty that you are standing there with money that belongs to someone else?
Today is full of tough times. People need that extra $20 to buy milk & lunch meat for the week or to put gas in their car to get to work. -
Yet as you stand there with this now unfolded money you look around you as you spin around in circles to see if there is anyone in close range that may have dropped it......and there is no one. -
What do you do? What do you think? What do you do? Does it depend on the situation of the day? Does it depend on the location? How does one go about finding the rightful owner? -
Realistically if you take that money to lost & found what do you think will happen to it? Is there a lost and found bucket full of lost bills of numerous denominations that hasn't been claimed yet? Or is there a person who works at the lost & found who is now approaching the status of millionaire with all the lost and found money that has been given to them? Would a person walk up to a lost and found and simply ask "hey, has anyone turned in a twenty dollar bill today?". Do you get on the loud speaker and announce that you found money in the parking lot and see if anyone comes to claim it?
Well, I don't know what you would do but in a parking lot full of vehicles and absolutely no one around to claim or ask it was decided that it was a nice day to go out to lunch. :)
