According to a recent web poll it would appear that a lot of people would actually not take something into the police station and that they would take the item or money for themselves and not let anyone know of the discovery. Why is this? Are the people of the world turning into criminals or do people just not get a break and think that this is their lucky day?
Sometimes I can understand why people tend to keep the money that they find and pick up as everyone is in need of a bit of extra cash no matter how little it is it is actually a crime to steal? A lot of people take the opinion that if you drop cash then it is your own fault and if someone else finds it then well it means it is their lucky day right?

This could really work unless of course it ends up being a lot of money. This certainly is when you should think about taking it into the police station. If it is a large sum of money then think about this, what if it is for a big family of four who may need the money you have found for the month. Just have a think about it, do not just walk off with it. If you lost a tenner would you be too worried about it or would you not even notice it. What about £200? If you think this could be a yes, take the money in.

Jewellery is something entirely different and should be taken to be handed in straight way and there is a major reason for this and it is that jewellery can be very precious to people indeed as jewellery could have been handed down for years, could be a wedding ring or even a gift from a late relative but it doesn’t matter if it is amethyst jewellery, amber jewellery or even moonstone jewellery you should always return it.

As for cash, that should be left for you to decide upon.
