Why is this even in the front of OP's mind
Wifey comes home with found money "ok honey, lemme post on AR15.com and see what we should do!" What you should have done is banged her, made her cook dinner and clean up, banged her again and then TAKEN the money and gone to the bar.

I found $40 laying in the middle of the grocery aisle this year. I just went up to the store's customer service desk and left my name/number and told them that if someone reported that they lost some money, they could contact me. I didn't tell them how much or the denominations. About 15 minutes later, someone called and asked if I had found $40. They were very happy to get it back. |

If you turn it in to the store, an employee could pocket it. If you turn it in to the police, the only way they can find the owner is through surveillance video. Police and the store likely won't put a ton of effort into coming through surveillance video for found money. The money will likely end up in the city's general fund eventually. Keep it if you can't find the owner. Leave your number at the store. If someone can call you and tell you how much, return the money. OP, If you want to be the good guy, tell the store manager you found a bit of cash and leave a number so that if someone calls missing it can contact you. Don't tell the store the amount. OP, my last advise is too late, but this advice isn't. Post pic's of the spouse, its the law here! Save what humility you have left in this world. |

BEST way to handle it is notify the store that you found a little cash. Leave your number and let them know if someone calls and asks, they will have to say exactly how much, and what kind of bills. Not really unreasonable, as it IS cash.. only way to really "describe" it.
My wife once took her wedding rings off to put on lotion, in the car. She forgot they were on her lap. We went to a science museum. She only noticed them missing that night, when she went to put them up. She remembered having taken them off for lotion. She called the museum. Some VERY nice lady found them, and notified the staff there. Left her phone number. My wife had to describe them EXACTLY before the woman agreed to return them to her, and I do NOT blame her one bit. We were very lucky that someone so honest went through the pains. Can't really know if we would have gotten them back had she just handed them over to someone from the museum. I'd like to think so, but.. |

Eh, a couple years ago, my wife and son found a hundred dollar bill in a supermarket parking lot.
They turned it in and left their phone number with the manager. They received a call later in the day and the gentlemen who lost it gave my son a twenty-five dollar reward. Sometimes good souls pass

Quote HistoryQuoted:
The store manager put it in a deposit box and said nobody had called yet. Someone will probably pocket it but that's beyond my wife's control now. My daughters were with my wife so just another reason to turn the money in. But, it is important to teach kids to be wise with money, and not, pardon me OP, naively honest. They need to learn that dealing with money demands exceptional care to avoid losing it or being cheated. Most likely, unfortunately, somebody in the store will end up with the money. The proper response should have been to give your phone number to the MGR , telling him that you found a small amount of money in the parking lot. If the person who calls can identify the amount and the denominations......you arrange returning it to them. That is what your daughters should witness. |

Just this afternoon, I saw a 5 gallon can of gas roll off a landscaping trailer in an intersection, I was waiting on the light to make a u turn. Landed just right and slid and didnt spill. I had my son hop out and grab it and put it in the back of the truck, but the owner was long gone. I don't mind, as at that time I was going to the Uhaul place to get a car dolly, to trailer his wrecked car to the house. The car we bought him in February, which he wrecked in March, repaired, wrecked again Tuesday when someone pulled out in front of him, and then rear ended a BMW this AM. Ironically he was on his way to the Navy recruiters office to set up a trip to MEPS.
SO yeah, got me some free gas to offset the good hands Allstate is gonna use to stick it in my ass. |

We get a lot of found money in my store. It goes to a fund site when deposited into our money machine and it goes on the stores journal. If someone comes looking all we have to do is look it up.
Here is a tip though if you find money in a big box store. Give the money to a manager in a camera shot (service desk, registers, main entrances). It's on video and managers at my store will lose their job for pocketing found cash. Any employee would. I just found a credit card today and $70 two days ago. Older lady claimed the cash. Credit card had not been claimed when I left work today. We are one of the busiest stores in the country and we find a lot of money, phones purses, etc. But most folks don't claim money. They figure it's gone. We keep it and last month alone we deposited around $900 in found money. It's there for claiming but folks don't. I have no idea how much money is kept by employees that find it. But I bet it's a lot. Don't ask how much weed and meth I find. It's a lot. All around the self checkouts. People Lose it when pulling out money of thier pockets. I look it up on video. I could have a really nice gun fund if I resold that shit... |

Back in the early 90's my dad and I found a bank envelope with $700 in it between boxes of baseball cards at CVS. We took it to the store manager, who called us within a few hours to tell us a family had come in. Apparently they had just cashed in savings bonds and their son took the envelope with him, absentmindedly leaving it with the baseball cards.
I really don't care whether the police, store employees, or whoever COULD take it and be dishonest. The fact that someone else COULD be dishonest is in no way a justification for you to be dishonest yourself. It's not yours, so make an effort to find the real owner. Ask yourself what kind of situation you would want to be in if you had lost money. |

I found $40 in cash back sticking out of the cash return on the self-checkout at Walmart.
I took it to the attendant, and she put it in an envelope behind her station and said thanks. had I found it in the parking lot I would have pocketed it without a second thought. |

keep it or donate it to the charity of your choice. Most stores will put the money in their cash office or safe and after whatever time the company says to wait it goes into the store's account anyway. Keep it, spend what you consider to be an ethical amount of effort to find the owner and if no luck spend it yourself.

I had a projectionist that was working at a theatre I eventually managed in downtown Miami (Omni 10).
He was sweeping up after closing and came across a brown paper bag with $6800 in cash. He turned it in to the manager on duty and the next day, the man came looking for it and it was returned. I forget how much the fellow 'tipped' him, but it was way more than he made in a fortnight. I was a manager at another theatre and a wealthy South American couple came to Miami and didn't trust the Bal Harbor Sheraton to protect her ~$250,000 in jewelry, so the egghead decides to put it in her purse and visit the cinema. Well...the movie ends and the lady walks off, leaving her purse on the armrest. Ushers go in to clean the theatre and there's the purse on the armrest, so they take it to the box office and a gaggle of them rifle through the wallet, snatch the money and ditch the purse in a big garbage can and into the dumpster compacter it went. Before the lady got back to her hotel, her lawyer was on the phone threatening my G.M., who went out and found it in the dumpster after interrogating the other employees. I remember her words vividly: 'I don't know what $250,000 worth of jewelry looks like, but I could believe it was $250,000.' Ya never know... Chris |

There really is no such thing as found property that you can just keep under the law.
The right thing to do would be tell the store manager that you found some money without telling him/her how much or exactly where you found it and inform him/her that you are taking it to the police. The police will take it and give you a receipt, after a period of time with nobody claiming it the money will be yours |
