Last time I was at the park, I found a small wad of cash on the walkway between Diamondback and the Diamondback store, as I was the first from my train out of the gates. At first I thought "hey, money!" but immediately as I picked it up, thought "this is some kid's, I can't take this!" A kid behind me also leaving the coaster saw me pick it up and told his friend "hey, that lady found like $5" in an excited tone that made it clear if he found it, he would have kept it without an ounce of regret (and, when I was his age, I have no doubt I'd have felt the same way.) I didn't even unfold the bills to see exactly what was there, but it was a $5 on the outside and at least one $1. They were running Diamondback slowly enough that day that there wasn't anyone left from the last train in the store, and no one in sight was doing the "oh crap, where'd I drop my money" dance, so I handed the bills to the kid working the register, and told him where I found it in case anyone came looking. I knew the chances were slim that whoever lost it would be reunited with it, but they were better chances than in my pocket.

I was just wondering what others would do or have done in the same situation.

Sadly if it's just cash, it may never be claimed.... If I find money in a wallet, envelope, or clip then I turn it in, always. If it's just a couple of loose bills or so then im probably going to assume it's Khama from when I lose money.... Now if I pick it up and I see someone looking for something then of course I give it over. A few years back I found a 20 in the parking lot.... Paid for my gas that day

If there's nobody in the vicinity that it obviously belongs to (e.g. they're looking around or I saw them drop it) then it's finders keepers!

I found a briefcase full of money once, and a Michael Bay movie broke out.

Then I woke up.

The wife and I found an envelope with two names on it with a wad of cash in it on The Beast train. We assumed it was money for kids their parent probably gave them. We gave it to a ride-op. If it had not been in an envelope and just sitting cash with nobody asking around or looking for it, Fastlane Plus baby!!!!! That's me speaking, my wife would probably give it to a ride-op anyways because she's a better human being than myself. Wait...she doesn't read this forum, she'd turn it in because she's stupid!

It depends on how much. If it's just $1-$10, I'll keep it. If it is a wallet, I turn it in. Everyone can claim cash.

If I see someone drop it, I'll pick it up and will catch up to the person who lost if not. If I just come upon it, I'll definitely take it as long as it's not a massive amount.

If I found cash on the ground at KI and took it, I'd be fired...

...but on a normal day, I would honestly just keep it. It would be way too hard to find who lost it. Unless, like others have said, it was $100 or a wallet.

Yea I'd pretty much be the same way. If it has some sort of id with it i'll turn it in or if I see someone looking around for it, probably check to see if its what they're looking for. Otherwise I'd probably keep it.

Unless it is some insane amount, any free roaming cash I stumble upon is going in my pocket. A crazy amount is coming home with me while I try and find the owner. If I see someone drop the money, of course it will be given back to them.

Wallets, cases, etc, will be returned to their owner ASAP. Losing one of those sucks.

If I can find the owner, I would return it. If not, I keep it. At least I tried.

And if I would try to turn it in to a cashier or something, who's to say it wouldn't just go home with them regardless. Not very many honest people nowadays. Those days are gone unfortunately.

FOFreak, who wishes he were born a few decades earlier.

When I worked in retail at a customer service desk we would always get people turning items in (including cash) that they would find in the store. Usually the stuff just ended up staying in a drawer at our desk for years until we decided to finally say goodbye to it and to the garbage, cash would get donated.

When I worked at the park in 2010 I found a $100 where the season pass processing line had been earlier. I immediately turned it in as it could of someone's season pass money.

Now Disney tells you if they see you pocketing paper bills of any type you will no longer be a cast member.

I think it's different if you are a cast member/crew/staff versus Joe Schmoe.

But plastic is ok? J/K.

Id wait a bit and see if I found the owner if no one seemed to be looking for it id probably just pocket it if its just cash and nothing else. If its a large amount of money though I'm turning it in somewhere.

Then there would be no KICentral to post this on!

Having been born a couple decades before you, I can tell you that people weren't fundamentally any different. There have always been people who will get away with however much they can, but the majority of people are pretty honest.

In a lot of ways, I can see that things have improved societally (tolerance of differences, etc) just within my own lifetime, and if I look back to the things told to me by my parents and grandparents, this has been a trend of overall improvement for decades. Violent crime specifically has been in decline since the 80s.

I once found keys near Hank's Burrito Shack. I sat around for a few minutes in case an owner came looking for them. No one showed up, so I took them to guest relations. Figured they'd eventually notice they were missing when they tried to leave the park.

Reward or no, there's a certain, satisfying joy that comes with returning someone's lost property to them.

I found $10 dollars this Saturday when I just got off the Banshee on the ground next to the Banshee Ice Cream stand, finders keepers!

A few years back my wife and I were on Backlot Stunt Coaster and found a man's credit cards along with his ID which was some type of military ID. The ID had some info on it, but not his phone number, and I debated whether or not to hold onto the cards and try to get in touch with this person myself, or even try to mail his credit cards and ID to him. Then I decided I didn't want to be responsible for his credit cards potentially getting lost in the mail, or even worse, stolen. So I took them to guest services and turned them in. Hopefully this man was able to claim his property.

In this case, I would think Lost & Found and GS would be able to locate this person by contacting the DoD from the info on the military ID and the same with the credit card info. I am sure this person would seek out L&F and his wallet would be returned to them. I know I would be making a visit to the lost and found ASAP to make a report.

You apparently have not seen a military identification in many years.

The military ID has the person's branch of service, picture, name and rank on it, along with a microchip on it. It can be returned to the nearest military installation, in this case it would be Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton (Fairborn), Ohio. They will seek out the military member who lost the ID. In this case, I would imagine the person would contact the Lost & Found and file a claim on the missing wallet with the ID and other items in it. http://answers.usa.gov/system/templates/selfservice/USAGov/#!portal/1012/article/3248/LostStolen-Identification-ID-Cards

Give me the money. It is mine I lost it.

The standard military ID is now the CAC card.

http://www.cac.mil/common-access-card/

Um, Terpy, the page you linked shows that the CAC does have the information that KI-ORIG-EMP listed, namely name, branch of service, picture, rank, and microchip. Unless I am somehow getting a different page from what you were getting.

The CAC card that I was given to look at by the military member this weekend had his picture, service branch, rank, pay grade on it. If this person had lost his wallet with his ID in it, it has enough information, along with the barcode and integrated circuit chip, for the people at the nearest military installation to ID him. The info on what to do with this lost ID can be found just by conducting a Google search. In my day when I enlisted, my Army ID was nothing like these are today. Yes, it had my picture, branch of service, and rank on it, but no barcode or computer chip.

It also had your serial number...which is no longer identified quite as such...
