I've found money at the beach, gas station and amusement park and it's always a moral quandry as to what I should do.  At the beach I found a 100 dollar bill and waited a good while to see if someone would come back scouring the beach for lost money.  No one was around as it was a night walk on the beach and no one came back so I pocketed the money, but I felt a little bad for whoever lost their money. 

Finders keepers and losers weepers? I have never been excited to see a lost bill because it is a sign of temptation. Once I have walked by on the sidewalk and saw a $5 bill. I did not pick it up because I don’t take things that don’t belong to me. I know the wind will probably blow it away or somebody else will eventually grab it. Another time I saw a $100 bill on the floor at the supermarket. I was in line at the checkout and asked the customer in front of me to see if it belonged to him. He was scared and surprised that he almost lost it. Just remember, you can pocket the lost bill and think nobody will know, but God knows everything. We sow what we reap.

I found 20 bucks at the gas station once.  I picked it up and looked around to see someone barge back into the store and start looking frantically on the floor, I gave them back the cash after I asked them if I could help them find something. :P  The guy was amazed I didn't pocket the cash and thanked me profusely. :)

You were given another chance and you have done it right. Good for you.  :thumbsup:
