I'D READ ABOUT ANGELS LEAVING FEATHERS SO YOU'D KNOW THEY ARE AROUND, BEING A BELIEVER I KEPT FINDING THEM AND WONDERED WHY. HAVING VERY LITTLE MONEY AND FINDING A SMALL CHANGE PURSE NEXT TO A EXPENSIVE CAR IN A PARCKING LOT I PICKED IT UP NOT KNOWING IF IT HAD MONEY OR NOT WHEN I GOT HOME OPENED IT TO FIND A SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY, GOT MILKE,JUICE, AND ORDERED PIZZA THAT NIGHT. THEN STARTED THINKING MAYBE THE PERSN WHO LOST IT WAS IN BAD SHAPE BUT THERE WAS NO I.D. JUST THE MONEY. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

If there is no ID theres not really anything you can do. Its sad the person lost it but.... I wouldnt beat yourself up over it
Maybe when your better off you could go back to that place and leave something there for someone else to find... pass on the good fortune you had

I agree with sleepy: if there was no i.d. then there might not have been much you could have done. Maybe you could have left it there in hopes that the owner would find it later but who knows if that would have worked. What's done is done and you will not do yourself any good by feeling guilty. Also, Sleepy's idea to "pay it forward" is a great idea!

It's not like you can hold cash up in the air, screaming "did you lose this". I feel sorry for whoever lost it, but..........what could you do? Look to see if they advertise in the paper? I don't think people do that anymore.

I agree with the other posters - there isn't much you can do if there is no ID. Don't feel guilty about it. Pay it forward is also a good notion for everyday living, not just when something good happens to you.

In the UK one can take lost property to the local police station, and they subsequently deal with it.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
