The woman who inadvertently left the money in the bag meant to donate her goods to that particular charity, you should give it to them. If sis insists on T4T, not a huge thing, just let her deal with it. [ Reply | More

I would donate it to Toys for Toys or a charity. Finding the owner would be impossible, imo. [ Reply | More

If you tried to find the owner and could not, I'd vote for letting niece keep half of it and having her spend the other half on toys for tots. I mean if she found a 20 on the ground with no owner in site, finders keepers right? This is the same sort of thing- let her get a little thrill out of being lucky. AFTER looking for the owner of course. [ Reply | More

What's an assistance league? Why not have niece donate part of the money to the intended beneficiary of the rummage sale? [ Reply | More

I am totally not surprised at this; if the rummage sale was enormous, there is no way to find the owner at this point. At least it's not $1000. Definitely an opportunity for a lesson, though. I was on a flight earlier this year where I was passing money back and forth to my teens across the aisle for their snacks and headphones, and getting change in a lot of ones/euros (whatever) and putting it back into my purse while the cart was at our row. At one point someone pointed down to the floor to a bunch of money and asked if it was mine, and I thought I had somehow not put it into my purse as I'd thought and said "thank you, yes, it must me." When I arrived home, I went through my purse and there was WAY more money than there should have been, and I think the flight attendant dropped the cash while at my row. No way to account for it, no way to know, I just kept it, it was around like 50 Euro and 50 dollars. OK I guess this belongs in a "have you ever stolen anything" thread. [ Reply | More

OP here: no way to find owner, this is an annual sale that's so enormous it's in a rented warehouse and people line up for hours to get inside. I thought of just sending the cash to the organization (cross country) but sister thinks it would be more meaningful for my niece to do the Toys For Tots shopping. A few years ago I found three twenties wadded up on the sidewalk in front of the jam packed Herald Square Macy's just before Christmas. I yelled out to everybody near me " did anybody drop anything!?" No luck, of course, and I felt compelled to drop it in the nearby Salvation Army kettle even tho the devil on my shoulder was urging me to spend it, LOL. [ Reply | More
