My friend walked into his local branch of Tesco yesterday and noticed that there was a large amount of paper littered about the floor - upon closer inspection, he noticed that they were all £20 notes! Shocked by his discovery, he collected them into a pile, took one note for himself, and handed the rest to the staff - who told him that he'd get to keep the money if nobody claimed it. There was £1080 in total (including the £20 that he took himself) - this money was not in a bag or an envelope; how did it get there?

What if this happened to you? Would you have handed in the money? What would you do with £1080?

I would report it to the store and leave my information, but take it with me. It happened to me before... long time ago, in the parking lot of a CompUSA. I told the customer service I found an amount of money, if someone came looking for it, they could call me (I didn't tell them how much was found, I didn't want someone random calling with fake details). A day later someone did, and they were able to explain it, exact amount, crisp 20's, folded up. Otherwise, how can you even tell the right person is getting it back?

I'm an honest man, but I was really hoping to not get a call...
