Roadkill Rebels - January 2014

45p added to mine. 40p vending machine and 5p at Tezza's. I have noticed that I haven't been looking out for notes, its time to broaden my horizons.

I was talking to my very nice Iranian work friend the other night and he told me he is always finding money and that last year he estimates he found around £400! I've never met a kinder more generous guy and am left wondering if the universe is repaying him for his kindness...who knows eh!

Hi HOK3Y and all other Roadkill Rebels!! :hello:

Can I join too, please?

I've been following everyones progress since December - searching for homeless coins / notes since then, and finally found my first one today in the change dispenser of the self-service counter in S*insburys - a nice, shiny 5p coin rescued and re-homed!

I have looked at this thread a few times and wondered how much do you consider to be 'Road Kill'? At what point do you think about handing your finds in as found property?

Someone got £30 'road kill' from me today:(

It was my own fault but annoying none the less.

Finders keepers is the motto

unfortunate but if it's just notes then there is oo way of finding an owner. If they were in a purse/wallet however it would be a different story.

I found £40 earlier and handed it at the local police station.

Although it is highly unlikely anyone will come forward to claim the money. I had visions of someone struggling because they had lost £40. I felt that it was the best thing to do.

I guess that it's down to personal choice!

We will have to agree to disagree on that one. Many people do realise where they have lost/dropped it and retrace their steps. Yes they should more careful and not so careless but some cannot afford to lose it and many have other things on their mind.

I am not here to condem anyone, I am just curious.

You do realise that you will have to claim it back if it is not collected?

And if it is claimed, you are entitled to a 10% reward (at least in Scotland you are).

A pretty shiney penny at the bus stop today! I found 4p of WR yesterday
However, I have a question. If you pick up other people's receipts that have been left, can you, or have you ever, get told off?
