Dilemma...

It's my $20 give it back!

too late linkat, i already spent it...

haven't heard anyone complaining.
chances are whoever did probably doesn't know where or when they lost it, and has resigned themselves to the fact.

Thanks for the $20, RP.

If you did go around asking, how many would pull a linkat? ;-) "Yeah, uh-huh, it's mine..."

If you want to ease your conscience, you could maybe do something like send an email to everyone saying that you found a lost item -- without saying WHAT -- and give it back if anyone says "I lost a $20 bill today, must've been in the common room or by the vending machines." (You get the idea.)

I would just take it, but then I'm evil like that...

...only you know what you should do, Region!!!!

I wouldn't hang on to it, not worth the guilt!

I'm not sure you'll like my suggestion, but I think you should donate that $20 to the charity of your choice - and that doesn't mean you.

Well, gee, I'd put in into petty cash, or in my case, since my office has two of us, both so-called partners, I'd just ask her if she dropped it. But then I am the clumsy one... slow on the curve but sometimes astute on the key question, once I hear it. In five years, my business partner has not dropped a dime. I occasionally save her and our ass with perspicatious questions. More often, she saves us with common sense.

What worries us both is when I don't think of the perspicatious questions and then we are both in trouble.

Were I you, I'd put the money away and mention to the room at large that I found some money and watch.

sozobe, the lost-item e-mail is a good idea.
so is donating it, c.i..
altho i don't feel guilty about it, i'd be bummed if i'd been the one to lose it.
hmmm...

RP, If there's no guilt left, you have more options, don't you? LOL

stupid conscience!

Especially where it concerns $$$$$$.

I like Sozobe's idea about the E Mail. It will ease your conscience, and give someone the opportunity to claim what he has lost. (BTW, if no one claims it in 30 days, IMO, it's yours!)

its a little late in the game for an e-mail i'm afraid,
gonna go the donation route... thanks everybody for helping me decide!
