Cheers

Today, I found a wallet belonging to some guy, it had $355 inside. Because he had his address written inside, I decided to return it, hoping for a reward. I drove for 40 minutes and finally got to his house during peak hour. All he did was say, "Oh, cool." FML

Drug money. But you don't do something for the reward, you do it because you feel it's right. YDI.

Holy crap entitled much? Instead of doing something for a reward, why don't you do it because it's the right thing to do? And how is he supposed to know that you drove for 40 minutes? What I would've done is turn it in to the police, or if I found it in the store, turned it in to the store manager, rather than driving for 40 minutes and then expecting a reward for not stealing it. It's ridiculous how people expect to be rewarded for not doing the wrong thing. Plus, how do you know you returned it to the right person? It had an address written inside? That could've been the address of a friend's house, or a house someone needed to make a delivery to. Maybe you just gave the wallet to a stranger who decided to pretend it was his to keep the money.

Today, I realized that when faced with the classic, "Wallet full of money" ethical scenario, about half of the people I share this planet (or at least this site) with are such flaming wads of self-serving shit that they'd keep that cash and toss the wallet. FML

my dad (a cop) said look in the wallet. take the money. and put it back where you found it. acts of kindness don't work these days. cuz nobody would return your money

if you drop it in the mailbox the postal system will often take care of finding the person. next time take the money out, drop it in the mailbox with a note saying that you didn't want the money to get stolen and include your phone#. then they can arrange to get the money, and drive 40 mins out of their way - and if they don't, want to drive 1.5 hrs for $300 (which they may) than you get to pocket it in good conscience.

Yeah, I definitely would have just mailed it maybe with a letter...that sucks though. I don't understand why you had to go in peak hour, but I guess you really just wanted to make sure he was there or something...

I hate that all these ppl are saying "that's what u get for expecting a reward". what the hell? who doesn't secretly hope someone will be so grateful that they'll reward you for your honesty and time!?! You did a really great thing returning the wallet and you should be proud of that.
