WOULD YOU RETURN IT or FIND A WAY TO CASH IT

[andyjs]

contradiction.

How? He said he would be honest and turn it in.

I would turn it in. As much as I'd like a reward for it, I'd feel bad taking it.

if i could actually cash it and get away with it i prob would but then give most of it back....just as a lesson they wana b more careful what they do with their checks!
at the same time i KNOW i would just hand it in...but ask for atleast 1k of it for being nice

It's a felony to cash it.

I would give it back and turn down the reward, but I'd let them take me out for dinner if they offered, I mean, a free meal would be reward enough.

The contradiction is he is saying he shouldn't be rewarded, then he goes on to say that Karma will reward him.


That is kind of nitpicking, though, and I agree with what he was saying about not asking for a reward. I found $400 cash under the table at Olive Garden once, and I gave it to the waitress. The owner called frantically about 10 min later, then came up to the restaurant and thanked me, lol.

yes i would return it...

that check could have ended up in the trash or destroyed by weather, traffic, etc.the point is this person did not need to go out of their way and through the trouble they went through to get it back safetly to the rightful owner so I still think even though it was the right thing and legal thing to do, receiving a reward graciously is also the right thing to do...

I see nothing wrong with accepting a reward. It is my personal views that would keep me from accepting it. But I've always been like that. I'm always willing to go do a little extra if it helps someone out.

I'm with you on this. I work at Petco part time while I am at school, and people always try to give me tips after I carry their 40+lb dog food bag out to there car. We are talking 90 year old ladies trying to give me money for carrying something for them, then being SURPRISED when I turn it down. Which makes me wonder....why do the elderly expect to pay able-bodied people for a random act of kindness? Kindness/ethics/morality should not be a chore.
