Finding money...

Bollix, that was supposed to be a new thread. How did I manage that?

I'm too polite to say actually!

50p, assuming i saw it in time...

its well worth stopping for such things though, my brother in law has (on different occasions) found me a 115 pound pair of oakley sunglasses, and a jip up filofax size bag, with 360 pound cash, and a couple of gold necklaces (heavy ones, like a 1 ounce, and a 2 ounce) - not to be sniffed at.... and as it had no address/name or anything, and was found alongside a dual carriageway, whats the point of handing it to police???

Ever heard of theft by finding ?

See a penny, pick it up, and all the day you'll have good luck people saying "you f**kin' scav".

Seconded. The owner could have identified it by contents.

All i can say is either RichP travels VERY slow on his bike OR he's got such an acute sense of sight a golden eagle would be jealous !

Probably flung out of the window in anger at some errant cyclist.

the person that says they've never broken a law is a liar........

I don't think anyone was claiming to never have broken the law - just that your not handing it in to the police was effectively theft, and that your reasoning for not doing so was flawed.

Call me old-fashioned, but I believe that dishonesty is nothing to boast about.

 

[dantheman]

if you read my thread, you'll see that i'm not boasting, and it wasnt my decision to make anyhow, as i wasnt there and was not the party envolved, have you never known any similar thing to happen, and told the story to another???

I probably shouldn't tell you that I nicked fifty quid out of your wallet once then!

Handling of stolen goods is treated equally seriously in law as the original offence of theft.

You are delusional....I have never had anything approaching fifty quid in my wallet.
