um, so I found $100 on the road today.
what should I do with it?
 ???
I was thinking of getting a goat from oxfam, as the money isn't really mine.
help!

Hand it into police. You obviously feel a bit weird about it because it's, like you said, "not really yours". If noone claims it at police station it's yours after x amount of time, I believe.

No-one I know, no-one I know feels weird about spending other people's cash.

I would feel weird spending it! Just give it to the police, but knowing them, they'd probably just spend it on themselves anyway, so I think just donate it to charity :)

Got it back though :)

I would like to think that I would donate it to charity, but in all honesty I'd probably end up keeping it.

It's 3 months I think... Or that's what it was when I handed in an iPhone.
