If you find it during a reno will you keep it?

  1. Yes, it's better than cash in hand

  2. No, I'd hand it to the police and collect if it's not claimed

    Is this any reason to pick up another property in the area? Me thinks the area is a goldmine.

    You cant keep it. If you do it is called "theft by finding" for which you can be charged. (Apart from the fact that it's not yours).

    That's a tough one, if it was a drug dealers there's a risk if you keep it of getting your legs broken, but if you hand it in theres a chance you'll get it back as they won't go in and say they lost their drug bullion.
    But if the mad woman down the road lost it on a dementia fueled outing you'd feel pretty bad, but chances are she won't remember losing it :)

    What'sthe going rate for a reward these days? Is there a sliding scale of some kind?

    Just take it to local police station and get some sort of receipt.

    Good for conscience, good for mental health!!

    A very unique way of adding value?
