"(The woman in the video) kind of stops, looks down, picks up the wallet, then walks into the next set of doors standing in front of the entrance," Joseph Smith said.  "She opens up the wallet and starts handing out what's in it to her kids. There was about $100 cash and 200 to 300 dollars in gift cards."

Way to set an example for those kids.





I hope they nab the mom and make an example out of her. Kids need to learn all actions have consequences.

I can honestly say I wouldn't. Maybe it's because I'm late 30's now, I would have just picked it up and walked to the Customer Service desk with it. Damn I'm getting old, I even feel like I have to walk my shopping cart all the way to the collecting spot so I can go home with a clear conscience.



Though if I was younger I would have went to the strip club and made it rain.

I was thinking the same thing.  That's some real shitty parenting. Not surprising in today's America though.

I remember there was a report done years ago. News reporters went to several cities with wallets. They then pretended to find the wallets and give them to police. Guess how many came back without money?

Found 3 wallets working as a garbage man back in the day  tracked all 3 people down they were all ecstatic to get them back. Even though they were all empty and had been stolen they all offered a reward and I declined everyone. I felt bad enough they had their money stole to begin with no point making them more in the hole.

I once found a wallet with $2300 in it in the middle of the road. The ID in it was for a local university student. I figured it he was either dealing drugs or making book. I called the police to turn it over to them. When the officer arrived and I told him what I had found and what I wanted to do he said "Let me get this this staight. You are turning this over to me?" I said yes. He took the wallet, sort of laughed, shook his head, got in his car and drove off.

I never heard what happened after that.

I've found two wallets over the years, both went back to their owners intact.

In college, I forgot my wallet at a student center- which happen to have my cashed paycheck in it (about $800). I got all the way home (lived off campus) before I realized it. Thankfully a good person was the one to find it and turned it (all) in.
If I found a wallet, the only thing that would give me pause would be how to return it

Proves that cash is subprime. Carry only the amount of cash you need for cash only items. Use debit for the rest.

Even better, use credit for the purchases. Asshole mom finds the wallet, uses the cards, bingo. You got her and you can tell your CC company to decline the payment because of fraud.

Debit has risks too perhaps more so.

My grandfather knew a man who had lost 10k after someone got his debit card and used up the money.

At least you have more protection with a credit card, and it isn't actually your money gone.

I'll stick with cash, how often do you lose your wallet anyway ?

I've had money stolen from my check card.  It was back in my account in a day.  I've also had a fraudulent charge to my credit card.  It was a process that took about 3 weeks before my account was credited.

Like there is any way this can come back to bite mom in the ass.
Wait until the kids have a chance to steal from her, do you think they will hesitate?

Found two wallets, one belonged to a sherrif and had his badge in it, took a while to track him down.
The other I watched fall off the roof of a car as it left a liquor store, tried to contact the lady but could not get thru on her phone for a long time, she was cancelling all her credit cards.

I was visiting my dad and found a wallet on the sidewalk in West L.A. when I was about 12 (~1982) and it had money in it. I handed it to an L.A.P.D. motorcycle officer who was parked about 20 feet away, and left the money in it because that's what I was taught. When my dad and his wife found out I didn't take the money out of it, they actually yelled at me and told me the cop would take the money, so I should have just taken it myself. I was pretty upset about being yelled at for doing the right thing. I have a lot of respect for my dad and his wife, but I still when I think about it.
