I was walking up the stairs at the mall when I saw some money at the top of the landing. I reached down to pick it up intending to hand it to the person that dropped it...but when I stood up there was no one there. No one in a 10 foot radius. I didn't know what to do. Then I glanced at the bills in my hand...and they were not ones. In fact, I had just picked up $45.00. Then I REALLY didn't know what to do. These are my thoughts:
- Do people turn in money at the mall?
- If I turn it in to the mall office will they just keep it?
- Should I just keep it?
- Is it lost money or found money?
- If I turn it in and no one claims it, do I get it back?
- Am I on some hidden camera show?
- I could totally use $45.00.
- It would pay for groceries or gas.
- I could splurge on those new sheets or new plates I've been coveting.
- I don't NEED new sheets or plates but it would be nice to have matching sets.
- I could use it to buy fabric for a quilt I want to make.
- I could buy $45.00 of lottery tickets.
- Maybe I'll make some money.
- A friend's mom found $5.00 once and bought a lottery ticket and won $500.
- I could use it to cook an awesome birthday dinner for my mom.
- I have an iPhone now...let's ask the people of Facebook what they would do.
- Could I use $45.00 to start my own company?
- I should donate it to charity.
- I'll put it in the Salvation Army bucket outside the mall.
- Why is Salvation Army ALREADY outside the mall?
- I don't know if I agree with Salvation Army.
- I could send it to Hurricane Sandy victims.
- I should use it to buy snacks for the boy in my class who cannot afford them.
- I think WAY too much. Normal people would just keep it, spend it, or turn it in.
- I have to blog about this.
So...what would you do?
