I was helping my friends kids do a park clean up and one of them found a large wad of cash (less than $200). I told the one who found it that I need to check with the police before she can have it, just in case it belongs to someone in need.
But is that a thing? I didn’t want to say she could keep it right away because I want to set a good example. But it isn’t a ton of money so I assume the police would not be interested. So what do?
My ex and I once found nearly $500 in cash in a Lowe’s parking lot. What did we do? We put it in our pocket, and used it to help pay that month’s rent.
