I was helping my friends kids do a park clean up and one of them found a large wad of cash (less than $200). I told the one who found it that I need to check with the police before she can have it, just in case it belongs to someone in need.
But is that a thing? I didn’t want to say she could keep it right away because I want to set a good example. But it isn’t a ton of money so I assume the police would not be interested. So what do?
No clue where your downvote is from but there isn’t a single cop who wouldn’t pocked $200 lol. Don’t give it to the kid though, OP. Take the group out for ice cream or something and pay yourself for your time spent cleaning the park.
If I was that kid, the lesson I would learn from that is to not tell anyone in the future.
Children do not need $200, simple truth, especially not $200 that’s by all accounts not really theirs. It’s time for OP to give a white lie that they tracked down the original owner and buy Timmy & Co. some ice cream cones and call it a day
I’ve just accepted that Lemmy is full of absolute clowns who will downvote literally anything for no reason. I bet this comment gets downvoted too. I have accepted my fate.
