  something discussed among the guys over supper last night.
  
  i guess most of us wont think twice about returning a wallet that belongs to some secondary kids with only a couple of dollars in it.
  
  however, where would your greed leads you if you found a fat wallet filled with beautiful orange notes and striking number of credit cards in it?
  
  keep? return? keep? return? keep? return? keep? return? keep? return? keep? return? keep? return? keep? return? keep? return? keep? return?

  but then, i'd return it.. personally...
  
  experience has taught me that handing a wallet to a police station requires about 3/4 of an hour making a statement

  i think it seriously depends....
  
  since there are loads of credit cards in it, it means the person is one rich guy so 10K prob is nothing much to him
  
  if i m seriously in need of money at tat point of time, i will prob keep the money but still return the rest of the stuff intact to the owner
  
  otherwise...mmm......tough choice siah!!!
  
  guess one can nvr have too much money eh...

  Glad to know Singaporeans are so "helpful" and "considerate"... You calculating, rational nature must be cold comfort to anybody looking frantically for his wallet...

  i wont take....cos i believ in retribution....if u take the money, in future there will b retribution fall on you.....and also i believe hao xing you hao bao....gd tings will fall on you if u do gd deeds... btw >10K so much money....normal ppl wher gt carry so much money around....the money mus b robbed 1 or very urgently withdraw to do urgent tings.....so canot take..
  
  bt i tink normal ppl will take the money...
  then consciences will feel bad..

  bring it to the police post nearby.
  Never take anything that dun belongs to me.
  Dun be greedy..That money might be dirty money or important to someone who needs it urgently..could be a matter of life and death.
  Whatever it is, I'll never keep it. Ever have the experience of losing your wallet? Very pek chek..heartache the things inside..red packet given by boss, neoprints..IC!! debit/atm cards, membership cards, VIP cards etc..muz go through the hazzle of reporting and applying again..I cursed and swear that person who picked my wallet.
