I think if you find a wallet with an ID inside,you're duty bound to turn it in.But if you just find cash laying around it's fair game.How do you know if God didn't just put it there for you? ;D

Perfect example of your christian morality.  So you find thousands of dollars, maybe hundreds of thousands, or even millions, but there's no ID, therefore you don't have to turn it in to the police, god wants you to have it, he put it there just for you.  It could be drug money, money obtained in any of a number of illegal ways, but there's no ID, so god must have left it there just for you.  Johnnie, I don't expect you to understand the idiocy and immorality of your logic, but most others who read this will.

There's no "logic"/rationality in such a xtian rationalization, there is only a false attribution to justify avarice.

Me personally, about $20 now my daughter has found money twice in bathrooms. Once was about $200 and the other was around $80.
I feel both blessed for finding it and sad for the one who lost it.

I found a $20 bill that was folded and had been run over numerous times and barely noticeable. It was in a car dealer lot. Lucky break for me!

$100 bill in the produce section of the grocery store. I stood there for about 5 minutes looking for someone who seemed frantic then left the store so the kids, myself and my husband could go to a movie and dinner.

...Once, I found a $20 bill in a parking lot.  I went to a baseball game and my girlfriend found a crumpled up $50 under her seat.  I went to pick up party supplies for a G.N.O. (girl's night out) and found $50 on the floor. 
...Do you feel blessed or sad for the person who lost it?
...Peace be with you.  :) Della 
$250.00 is a vacant lot in a black bag with nothing else in it.

This is a perfect example of your trying to read more into my statement than was intended.I'm not entirely surprized,since athiests do that with scripture all the time.

We are talking about $10,$50,$100 bills being found on the ground.Granted,I believe if He chose to He could place $10,000 on the ground for a person,but again you're reading something into the statement through your own perverted reasoning.

God delivers in many ways.If you need it,He'll provide it.For example,I remember years ago my whole family was together shopping and my mother ran short on cash to pay for the shopping.Suddenly,a man appeared and gave us $50 which was enough to cover the cost.He said "This is a gift from my pastor." So we went over to the Pastor who was standing a few feet away and thanked him.He said "You've probably heard of my brother--Benny Hinn."

So there you have it.God supplied the need.I have no doubt it was His hand that led Benny Hinn's brother to the store that night to help us out when we were in need.

Google JediJohnnie and May the Force be with you!

A wallet with $300+ someone left at a restaurant. I turned it into the manager and waited twenty minutes at the nearby cafe to make sure the rightful owner got it back.

The most money i found on the griund was a $5 bill on the cafeteria floor when i was in high school. My boyfriend found a $100 dollar bill when he was driving out from his job. He saw something blowing in the wind so he got out of his car to see what it was and was surprised it was a $100 bill!!!

I found $10 one time when I was setting up at the flea market years ago. I told the flea market manager and he told me if no one claimed it I could keep it.   I work at Walmart now as a people greeter and I found $20 laying on the floor and I took it to the service desk because I thought someone would miss it and come back for it.   Hope everyone has a great day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.
