Question

Is finding money and not returning it considered stealing?

Community Answer

If you know who the money belongs to, it's wrong to keep it. If you find money on the ground or something, you can keep it.

Question

How do I talk my parents into giving me money?

Community Answer

Explain to them why you need the money and ask nicely if they'd be willing to give it to you. Alternatively, you could offer to earn the money by doing chores around the house.

Question

Where's the most popular place to find money?

Community Answer

Mostly in stores or restaurants by the check-outs. People pay with coins and bills and money is usually dropped. Just remember, don't make yourself look suspicious when bending down to get the money. If anyone asks you what are you doing, just nicely say "I was getting my dropped coin/bill."

Question

Are public pools a good place to check for money?

Aubrey Matkoff

Community Answer

Yes, often men put money in their swim shorts and then forget about it. Make sure that you don't take the money if you see who has dropped it, and if there are people around, ask if it belongs to anyone before you take it.

Could I find money at the park?

It's possible. You could look on the benches or picnic tables and, if you take a walk, you may find some change.

Question

How can I find money as a kid to buy my sister a present?

Community Answer

If you have a couple of dollars of startup money, you could try selling candy at school. Buy some cheap candy in bulk from the dollar store, and then sell it at school for 50 cents or $1 apiece, depending on what it is and how much you think people will pay. Keep doing this until you have enough money to buy the present.

Question

How can I find a lot of money in my house?

Community Answer

You almost certainly can't, and if you did, that money wouldn't belong to you and it would be wrong to take it. Try looking in your couch cushions, and/or ask your parents if you can do extra chores for cash.

Question

If I find a large amount of money should I report it?

Community Answer

Yes. Large amounts of money have an owner who needs that money back; not reporting it would be theft. The person who misplaced a large bundle of money will likely be looking for it and will likely have alerted the police to having lost it.
