Your thread title is rather misleading. He didn't steal the money. He handed it in.

The article noted that he will receive a 3% finder's fee. I'm very glad that is the case.

Should be more.

It's great that he handed it in. What an honest guy. I would take it because I would be able to pay off my tuition fees.

Hand it in. It's a criminal offence to keep it and 150k of monopoly money is nowhere near enough to risk my future over.

on a serious note, if you found 150k in a wardrobe, would you keep it or would you hand it in like this humble syrian chap?

Sweet guy <3

Nothing to do with Islam

In all seriousness, good to hear a positive story for the refugees. They should grant him and his family citizenship

I would really want to keep it. I would struggle against my conscience to keep it. But in the end, I think I wouldn't feel right keeping it.

Yeah, probably. I believe 3% is standard, but we'll see if the owner of the money is found, they may pitch in to the reward.

I get not trusting the banks, but keeping something burnable inside something burnable is flat-out retarded.

Also, how does one deal with losing that amount of money? I'd be going through every second-hand store in the country like a bull in a china shop.

Germany has negative interest rates.. perhaps some bloke put it there hidden away and his wife took it to the charity shop? Probably funds from illicit proceedings. I am sure German authorities are eagerly watching. Who knows

err keep it ..

Or perhaps invest it and use the the returns to fund charitable causes perpetually? :beard:

"Allah would never allow me to finance my own interests with someone else’s wealth," he said.

Depends on the circumstances.

If it was from somewhere that I knew the owner would be looking for it, or want to claim it back, I'd hand it in.

If it was from someone that I knew, I'd hand it in.

Any other circumstance, I'd keep it and save it!
