I found a bank bag of cash and receipts including maybe a hundred credit card numbers with expiration dates and 3 digit codes laying on the road in Springfield, Mo. It had a few thousand dollars in it.
I rummaged through it until I found something that identified a possible business and I called them. Turned out it was some door to door meat sales place rom Iowa and their salesman had accidentally left it on top of his car.
I met him in a parking lot at a convenience store and he almost reluctantly gave me a thank you. It was kind of strange.
I don’t think this guy should be charged with a crime but sounds like he is an inconsiderate individual.
Do the best right thing always and sleep well at night.
I do a lot of business with the orange big box store. Their mistake netted me over $2500. It was clear it was a mistake on their part. $2500 of flooring that I am standing on that they say was returned for refund. I could have kept it and they would have never known.
I dont need that kind of karma following me around!
That was probably his last act with the company.
We were in Colorado & I found a lady’s wallet outside a public restroom. Was going to take it to the police but she came back. Pulled her license to make sure it was her & handed it over to her. Didn’t think to look to see if there was any cash. She was very thankful that someone honest had found it. I don’t recall if she offered me anything but that’s kind of the situation where I hope someone would do for me.
Later I read an article where there was a scam where robbers were stealing wallets, taking pics of credit cards but turning everything back to the owner & using the info to make purchases.
