I would always return it intact, I'd even go out of my way to try to find the owner of it to let them know. Same with cellphones, day planners, whatever. My wallet fell out of my jacket once and I didn't find out until later, and I went back to the place I most likely lost it, and was looking around, when someone said to me: "You look like someone who's lost their wallet."
:redface:
Now my EX.... he found 2 wallets, and kept the cash both times and mailed them back to the owner. I was reallllllly pissed at him.
And as far as loose notes..... I look around, and if nobody is runnng up to that area with a look

of on their face, then I stake my claim. :biggrin1:
We were driving along the freeway once, having a coversation, when I stopped midsentence and without skipping a beat...."
blah blah blah and is that money blowing across the freeway?!" :shocked: My friend pulled over about a hundred feet ahead (we were already in the rightmost lane), and I thought it would be pointless, but the wind from the traffic swept them all right to me, and 10 seconds later, we had 140 bucks. :veryhappy:
Not that pulling over on the freeway is something I would recommend to anyone.
