If the wallet has something in it that makes you able to identify the owner, I'll return it. If not, I think I'd take it for myself (unless there was, like, 50000 bucks in it. In that case I could just nick a few hundred and nobody would notice)
Who Carry 50,000 dollars in their wallet?
GTA protagonists that`s who (though i think they just keep it in their pockets,but you get the idea)

It depends whose wallet it is, if it was a uni student or anything I'd return the wallet straight away but if it was some rich old business man, I might take some 'finders' tax and then return it.

If you take something from the wallet, you're a thief, simple fact. The contents are not yours, and taking something that does not belong to you is the legal definition of stealing.

Having lost my wallet a couple of times (and having it returned minus cash / credit cards), I'm of the opinion that if you take anything, you're a thieving c**t, and deserve to be hit by a bus.
If they removed them before/during that (i think it`s 6 months) claimant period then they are indeed stealing.and someone took your credit card!? unless you left your PIN in there or they could do a perfect forgery of your signature (assuming it`s an old-school card)then that`s just a one way ticket to prisontown

This happened to me and my friend.
Unfortunately he picked it up so I couldn't grab the money before he turned it in.
Damn him and his honesty, there was more than $300 in that wallet.

It's an old-school card, and I got the wallet back within the next week each time.

Good on your friend. Damn you for being willing to steal someone else's money.

I couldn't steal the money from it. I'm of a deontological basis when it comes to ethical decisions (meaning I try to do the 'right' thing in any given situation) and in this case the right thing to do is give the wallet back. I'd feel way to guilty with myself for not doing so.

On a more mature note, as if you don't like money.
I could have bought so much food with that money.... *Drooling*

The money would be nice (especially considering I still need that hundred bucks for MW2..aha...), but come on, dick move. I'd return it.

Food? Blah. When I was a university student saving for my gaming pc, I had to choose between putting money aside or having quality food each week. Needless to say, I lived on 2 minute noodles.

Money ain't that important that stealing cash that doesn't belong to you is right at any time, I don't care how broke you are or how long you've lived on the streets. If I can somehow afford to pay my rent, electricity and other bills and still keep myself fed on my meager income (less than 15k per year), than anyone can.

Well we will just have to agree to disagree.
I value money far too much to let it slip through my fingers and you have some serious moral fortitude.
Also, how the hell did you live on two minute noodles!? That's ridiculous!

Depends on the day I'm having.

If I'm having a really shitty day, I'd return it and feel good about myself.

If I was having a good day, boom extra cash, I feel invincible now.

Well, if it has ID, I would return it.

Since the person has nothing, that I can't obtain, I would return it.

But if it was an unmarked suitcase filled with tons of moolah, then I'd probably take it and give half to charity. For Karmic balance. I guess...
