Would you try and find the owner? Keep the money and get rid of the other evidence? Leave it? Give it to a homeless person? Turn it in to the police? Buy your wife or girlfriend a present with the money?

Try and find the owner. Or leave it with lost and found depending on where it is I happen to be. Though a wallet is bound to have info regarding the owner.

I found a wallet in a night club once. I was the designated driver and there wasn't any cash inside so it wasn't of much use to me and I gave it to a bouncer.

I'd turn it in, unless it belonged to someone I hated, and if it belonged to someone I hated, I would probably just shred everything in it and throw the wallet away.

I found one back in middle school. It was a bright yellow nesquick velcro wallet with no id in it so I decided to turn it in. Nobody claimed it so after a certain period of time I was able to keep it and whatever was inside :) It pays to be good.

I'd look for the owner if he / she is within radius. Otherwise just turn it in to the local authority of wherever I am. Whether or not they steal the contents isn't my concern anymore. Least I did a decent thing.

Find the driver's license, track down the person, and give it back to them.

I always find who it belongs to and return it without molesting the contents. People who take the cash and then return it annoy me.

What I always do; check it for ID information so I can get it back to the owner. In instant karma news, once I was going out to meet a friend for coffee and found a credit card laying on the ground and contacted the card company so they could cancel it and notify the cardholder. On my way back an hour or so later. less than 50' from where I found the wallet, I found $40 in cash on the ground (which I kept, since there was no way to tell where it came from) :P

Attempt and return it to the owner or turn it into the police if my efforts turned out fruitless.

Give it to the police to deal with, along with all the contents.

Try and give it back, all money intact. I like having money, but it's far more important being happy with the decisions I make.

if any cash is inside then I would take the cash. Everything else is useless to me so it would be either trash, or if no money was in the wallet I would turn it in.

I found a wallet outside my work a couple months ago. No money in it, so to the lost and found it went

The owner will be happy enough to get the wallet back with all cards intact. At least I would. I don't carry a lot of cash around, only as much as I'm planning to use that day. Or actually night, I only use cash in bars. If I'm stupid enough to forget my wallet somewhere, I deserve to have the cash stolen. And it's just cash, I'm more worried about having to renew my IDs, bank card et cetera.

Still, stealing someone's cash would feel bad to me regardless of their attitude, even if I rationalized it.

Take any money inside and then return the wallet to the owner, saying I found it on the street. If he asks where the money has gone, I say "someone must have taken it", because that's the truth. Then I manipulate him into giving me a reward.
