If I get given too much change, it kind of depends where I am at as to whether I let on. Most of the time, I do so before I have had a chance to think about it. There have been odd occasions when such carelessness on the assistant's part has coincided with me being ridiculously broke, in which case I haven't spoken up. Instead I have walked outside feeling a slightly guilty glee.

What I tend not to speak up on, is if they've tilled an item wrong. A few weeks ago I went shopping at TKMaxx and an item that should have been charged at around £45 was instead charged at £10. I didn't say anything about that :P On the other hand I have also had experience of being handed goods and the assistant not asked for the money (where there's been some to-ing and fro-ing with returns and so on) at which point I have offered the money :P

If I find money, well it depends where I find it, and whether or not there's any likelihood of the owner getting it back if I don't take it. A tenner on the street, I will pick up and then look around and see if I can spot anybody hurrying along looking at the floor, or searching through pockets for lost money. If nobody shows after a minute or so, I pocket it and go on my way. If I find it in a purse or wallet, it depends on if there is identification and how much money there is, along with where I have found it.

On the whole, anything substantial I would try and see returned to the owner. Any personal possession (like a purse or wallet) as opposed to just cash on the ground, I consider is likely to bring someone looking for it. If I;m on a country lane, I'll place the item on a low wall near where it was found in case the owner comes looking. If it's just outside a shop I'll take it inside. I'd only hand it in to the police if there are identifying items inside or a substantial sum of cash.
