That's a bit of a bad attitude to have. If you lost £200 and someone returned it to you, would you be grateful, or would you think "ha! sucker! you could have kept it..."?

The whole point is that 63% of people most likely assume that the money would not be returned to its original owner. This does not make people scum of the earth and really isnt the downfall of this country, are some people so naive as to think this? its as if satan himself had planted his seed into the hearts of those that voted they would take it.

I've had exactly this happen, well except it was in a brown envelope, and in front of the checkouts.

How can you be so naive as to think the supermarket employee working for minimum wage on a desk (and the vast majority actually hate the customers, they just put on a kindness for the job) would actually try and find the owner?
If you wanted to hand it in, it should have gone to the police.
I have no shame in saying that I would have kept it. Everyone saying "oh what if it was yours", most people would probably keep it if I lost it too, so I wouldn't feel guilty.

Christmas is coming! Stick it in ya bin.
I find it disgusting that 63% of this forum would not even hand it in to the police. It's the legal place to hand such an item in to, and you would not have it on your conscience that you've essentially stolen something that belongs to someone.
The fact that it's only £200 is irrelevant, you have no idea as to the relative worth of the money. If you found a car with the keys in would you drive off with it?
I would guess the answer that most of you scumbags would give is 'no, I would get caught'. So just because you would get caught you wouldn't drive off with it? I guess the same logic applies with the £200, you won't get caught, so keep it. Where does that end? £500? £5000? Beating up someone you don't like? Rape? Murder?
I fully expect some of you to call this post stupid and 'missing the point', but you were beyond help with your internet bravado anyway. Hopefully at least a few will realise keeping the money is pathetic.

hand it in
if i found 100-500 i'd hand it in
if i found say 10k+ there's no way i'd hand it in, it's likely that whatever the money was for it wasn't legal

Stick it in my wallet and go shopping.
Not everyone are scallies like you though.

I would hand it in to a police station nowhere near the area then guilt free - take what I had found...

if it was in a wallet i'd hand it in. bundle of cash with no proof of owner = pocket.
