Yeah JJ, no kinds of ID? If you found a twenty dollar bill on the ground you wouldnt try to return it. you would just pick it up. think nothing of it. this was in an awful wallet. either way. someone dropped it. and either way. its yours. hope you enjoyed the sandwiches.

When I was like 10 years old, I found a wallet at a mall store, with about $30 in it. I did the opposite and turned it in to the store security. They said if it wasn’t claimed in a few hours, I could keep it. I went back a couple hours later, and the security guard said someone came and claimed it. I asked for their name, and he said they didn’t leave one…that’s when I realized I got hosed…

You did the right thing.

Actually it would be $18.0828 CAD after the exchange and that would pay for a case of beer!

MacBros:
Send $17 to you in Canada? With the exchange rate, you might be able to buy a pack a gum.

“if there is money on the ground it is up for grabs. Unless you’re at a strip club. Then it’s the stripper’s.”

Words to live by.

Jim Pony:
Oh good. I was wondering what Jesus would do.

I always knew you were a stand up guy. Well done, Sir.

About five years ago when I lived in Philadelphia I used to work for a company in Media, PA (this was before my big move to a little company in Conshohocken that JJ may be familiar with…). I took the train from Philly to Media each day to get this job. One day as I’m walking from the train to the office I saw a wallet by the side of the road. A black leather wallet packed full of business cards, credit cards, IDs, etc.

I looked through the wallet and found a business card of the guy whose license was in it, and called him. He was psyched! Turns out he worked in Philly and took the train from Media each day…opposite of what I did. We agreed to meet up in Philly after work that day as I was getting off the train and he’d be getting on. I gave him his wallet, he was ecstatic and kept offering me a reward. I didn’t want a reward…I just wanted to return his wallet like I’d want mine returned.

I felt good about returning his wallet, but I’ll tell you this…he would’ve been fucked if there’d been any money at all in it cuz he never would’ve gotten the call!!!!!

I found a fifty dollar bill on the ground one time. That was a good day. I guess I really didn’t have to worry about returning it.

The way I see it, if there is money on the ground it is up for grabs. Unless you’re at a strip club. Then it’s the stripper’s.

Don’t feel guilty. I would have done the same. ID or Not. Although if ID were in it, I would still take the cash and drop it off in a Bank drop off. Because the ID is a bitch to get back.

I’ve lost my wallet before, and I couldn’t care less if the money was taken. I just wanted all my ID back.

You know JJ, you could have sent it to me.
