You're walking down the street and you find £20. Do you
a) Hand it in to the nearest police station
b) Put it in a charity box
c) Spend it on alcohol
A or B
Over £50, A everytime.
C. I know it's naughty but if you're daft enough to drop your money it's your own fault.
What if it was an elderly lady who was on her way to pay a bill?
Cliched and corny but it might happen.
If it was in a purse or wallet I would take it to the police station, if it was just a 20 pound note fluttering along the ground, I'd keep it. I mean, who is going to go to the police station to collect 20 quid anyway?
True.
What is your definition of theft however?
YOU lose some money. Maybe you give it up as alost cause, but, you witness picking up some money off the street of the same amount.
How do you feel?
