What would you do.....

....if, just as you were about to emerge from arrivals at the airport, you spotted £200 hanging from a cash point? The person who withdrew it may well have already gone through to the other side so they wouldn't be able to come back for it.

Happened with me last week.

Buy some food with it.

Finger her.

What did you do mate?

 

[Clint Planet]

Went through to the other side, hoping to see some distressed soul fretting about losing £200 but no-one fitted that description. My girl rang the company whose cash point it was and they thanked us and asked us to hand it into the currency exchange desk (which was the same company), which we duly did.

Bet they trousered it, like.

In retrospect, I should have just "guarded" it at the cashpoint until the machine drew it back in, as they do after a minute or two.

Has karma paid you back in any way since?

I would have pulled out my debit card and acted like I was withdrawing money, before promptly taking the £200 and then f*cking off sharpish.

 

[spikeman]

Good man. I don't think I'd be able to take it. It would depend on the mood I was in.

They don't do that do they ??? Do they do that ??? Fair do's if they do like.

Spend it

 

[heatmeiser]

I would have probably done the same up until it came to handing it in.

I may well have forgotten to do that bit.

They'd no doubt be insured anyways.

 

[chicoazul]

I would have handed it in to someone, bad guilt on stuff like that. Well done giraffe lid.

I had similar to this. Some bird left her card in the ATM still logged in and just walked off so I could have taken all her money out of I'd been so inclined. Just exited and handed her card into the bank.

It's quite the temptation but I'd feel like a right [Poor language removed] if I'd done it.
