They fled to China; the bank has failed to get back over three million dollars so far.

The lady's number and identification were inside and we called her. She wanted to meet with us to pick up her wallet and give us a small reward. My friend, being from Los Angeles, was a little bit more paranoid and said, "no, we'll just mail it." Her argument was that if anything was missing we might get blamed for it. There was no cash, just credit cards and pictures. So, we followed along and just mailed it. It never crossed our minds not to return it. We pretty much placed ourselves in that person's position and did the right thing. When I was in college, my roommates and I found a lady’s wallet right outside a bank in the parking lot.

More than that though I know I wouldn't be able to live with it. The interesting question I suppose is how much would it take for us to report it. If there was just a $10 discrepancy in your bank balance that you noticed would you report that to the bank? What if it was the other way around, i.e. you were overcharged by $10? I think people would be more likely to report the second...

At least I dont think you could... besides I believe in Karma... I dont keep things I find.... I found that someone had left a bunch of shopping bags with merchandise at the atm I took it and left a note there and also contacted the bank in the morning to drop it all off. It was a freak accident a lady got an emergency call while at the bank and rushed off without her shopping bags. besides our children watch and learn from us we need to do the right thing if we want them too Yes, I would go to the bank and tell them something was wrong… you couldn’t really keep the money anyway.
