The girl showed remarkable honesty in turning it in, but I do think that she should have been able to keep it considering the note attached stated that whomever found it should "spend it wisly".I certainly would have kept it and i consider myself an honest person. If I see someone drop their money or hand me too much, i will return it. But that money was a gift obviously intended to help someone who needed it. Its not going to be claimed since it wasnt "lost" and whos to say that the one who might have found it would be any worse off than the employee who did? Shoot Ive shopped at those places before and im not exactly destitute,but i certainly could use $5000.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12784861.post-31788840607844392592007-05-11T09:23:00.000-04:002007-05-11T09:23:00.000-04:00Yeah- they said it was an unverified rumor about t...Yeah- they said it was an unverified rumor about the specific name tho- the people at the organization were corresponding with the newscaster that I was talking about and none of the organization ppl verified that there was a specific NAME on the note- only what I wrote down. I think as bad publicity as they're getting about all this they would have been QUICK to mention a specific name had there been one - just to clear their name and put the organization back in the good graces of the public, don't you?Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15560751901355240488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12784861.post-15010216028464148152007-05-10T23:59:00.000-04:002007-05-10T23:59:00.000-04:00Sunny,The newscast I heard said that the note spec...Sunny,<BR/>The newscast I heard said that the note specified the name of a person for whom the money had been saved. Whoever claims the money has to know the exact amount and the name of the person mentioned in the note.<BR/>I do think it rather remarkable that the girl turned it in, and I do hope that she is rewarded for doing so.<BR/>TerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12784861.post-10401096728125103282007-05-10T22:27:00.000-04:002007-05-10T22:27:00.000-04:00Perhaps the donor intended/imagined it going to so...Perhaps the donor intended/imagined it going to someone worse off than the charity worker ... such as someone he or she imagined who would purchase the pajamas?<BR/><BR/>I agree that this is not the best way to go about donating money as there can be multiple outcomes resulting in someone more fortunate than less fortunate receiving it.<BR/><BR/>One of our TV news programs ran a story about one of their people who dropped some money on the street to see how many "honest" people were still out there. It wasn't a huge amount of cash and it was done in such a way that the person finding it would see who dropped it. Still most picked up the money and returned it to the person who dropped it. I think only one person pocketed it and kept walking.<BR/><BR/>I applaud the girl who turned in the money. I believe that karma will take good care of her and she will be much better off for her action.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12784861.post-49916991770032604892007-05-10T21:40:00.000-04:002007-05-10T21:40:00.000-04:00But the note said that He/She hoped whoever FOUND ...But the note said that He/She hoped whoever FOUND the money spent it wisely. That's all it said. How was turning it in being MORE honest than keeping it and using it?<BR/> In this case the note implied that the FINDER was to use it- if the donor had wanted it to go specificly to a/the charity wouldn't they have put it in an envelope and given it DIRECTLY TO the charity?Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15560751901355240488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12784861.post-24566218394205490422007-05-10T10:06:00.000-04:002007-05-10T10:06:00.000-04:00Ah, but today it turns out you can end up a lot ri...Ah, but today it turns out you can end up a lot richer by being honest.<BR/><BR/>Like the guy who found 60k in the back of a cab and returned it to its owner...and a car company (toyota I think), gave him a 60k car and used the event for publicity.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if it's a sad commentary on todays society, but people returning large sums of money end up on talk shows, advertising deals etc.<BR/><BR/>$10?
