I'd like to sound good and say I'd hand it in, but I'd probably keep it :colondollar:

Keep it probably

Keep it

It's such an insignificant amount of money that I would probably keep it. If I dropped £20 on the street I'd expect whoever found it to keep it...

Give it to charity.

It's a note. The owner most likely wouldn't get it back ever. I'd keep it.

Completely different from if it was a wallet, phone, USB stick etc etc in which case I would hand it in or 'trace' the person from the item and contact him/her.

I'd devote the rest of my life to find the person who dropped it and return it to him.

Defo keep it, unless it was tied to a wire or something.

I'd keep it and not feel even a single bit guilty about it.

I don't need a £20 note that's lying on the ground in the street. I wouldn't give it a second look.

It's not a wise idea to pick something up that you find on the ground, no matter what that thing is.

If I found a £20 note dropped inside a room or within a building, I might take the opportunity (the operative word here being 'might') to hand it in to security personnel. Otherwise, I would ignore it. It's not worth the potential trouble that it may cause.

Have you been in a situation in the past where picking up a valuable item caused trouble? :smile:

I'd definitely pick it up if it's just loose change. If it was a wallet I'd hand it in to the police. If it was loads of money I wouldn't touch it. That's either for a hidden camera show or it's drug money.
