Default How moral are you?

Just wondering what you consider to be right or wrong? If you found a wallet would you keep it etc?

Id stop short of using the cards but id take the cash. I dont consider stuff like piracy and dodgy sky to be wrong either.
Im ok with nicking stuff from work if its nor going to be noticed.

How pissed are you going to be if someone hands in your wallet after taking out the cash

nicking stuff from work - you (we?) are still going to pay for it one way or another

depending on my mood I spose.

If I was in a good mood I'd track the owner down and give it back to em in tact and with all the cash.

If I was feeling like a coont Id take the cash and sell the cards. Theres a good chance a driving licence would be in there two and I could flog that on to someone who needs a false ID and make a good few quid.

Good job Im usually in a good mood then really innit!

fair enough, u seem like good people, i was just been honest, yes i would be pissed if someone took my money. I feel that i should look after my mates and people i know but balls to everyone else. probably the wrong attitude.

If anybody nicks anything from my work i sack 'em instantly!

Not being a bastard I just like to know i can trust the people i work with and tbh i'd probably let them have whatever they wanted anyhow if they just asked!

Handing the wallet back after taking the money...

not a good idea, know someone who did that once...

cops came round his house next day wanting to know where the cash was!

Depends really I left my mobile in a taxi in OZ, next day, realise its gone and try phoning it.. now,if this had happened here where i live, mobile off and gone.. BUT lady answered it, and said, wondered when you were gonn ring, Met her, slipped her 20 bucks and got my phone back If everyone was like this, loosing stuff wouldnt be a problem, but unfortunately, thats not the case.. Having bought loads of nicked phones

Wallets, different matter.. cards need returning.. if theres a sly 20 quid in it.. why bother.. Should get it as a reward IMO

I had my wallet nicked and they posted my driving liscence back through my door with a crease through the middle! Never got any thing else back and cancelled my cards straight away! Think I only had Ł25 in it which was lucky cause I usually have over 100.

Me and Billy Cabrio found a birds purse in the road once, she had droped it when she was getting in her car. We took it straight to her house, didn't think twice about rummaging through it.

Then i gave it him back with everything in it, he was sooooo fookin happy! Didnt give me a drink though the tight cooont lol!

I've returned a couple of mobiles, one i found at a show and one left in the shop.

You dont half get some stupid answers when you ring "home" and get someones dotty old mother and you are trying to explain that you've got someones phone but you dont know who's.

Makes you wonder why you bother really!

at my work (NEC) at the end of a show, we have to collect our equipment back (telephone handsets, fax machines and the odd PC)

I have had SOOO many people say to me, "oh are you taking the plasma now as well"

I reckon, in the 18 months ive worked for the NEC, I could now have around 10 48" pioneer plasmas.

The stupidness of some people .....

Depends, if i find it here in the US, sure give it back maybe take a small "Recovery" fee.
If I find it in the UK, give back the wallet, keep the cash and call ZOO for some parts!
