I have a rule I stick by: If I find cash on the street, it is mine, unless i see someone looking for it or actually saw the person lose it. If I can't trace it back to the owner, I call it 'keepsies'...:)

I have found paychecks, endorsed checks and wallets of the course of many years. They go to the local PD, or, in the case of someone close by, I call and tell them I found the item and will either mail it to them, drop it off, or give it to the PD, I leave the option up to them...:) I've never had a problem w/returning a wallet to a person, but the local cops here say that it is best to give it to them to give it back to the owner, that way, I can show I did essentially what was right if there is a discrepancy w/anything that might be "missing". One cop told me that someone had lost a wallet w/$102 in it, and when they called the guy to pick it up, he did, but claimed there was $456 in it when he lost it. After a discussion w/the finder of said item, it was discovered the guy lied like a dog, and was trying to hustle the honest guy out of some cash....x(
