Today, I found a wallet containing an ID card. I managed to track down the owner, who now is threatening to call the police if I don't return the 400 dollars that he insists were also in it. FML

People these days are so ungrateful!! I hope the owner at least said thank you!

Oh shame on you for doing the right thing.. Because I guess it is your fault he lost HIS wallet

Playing advocate of the devil here, but maube the guy isn't trying to screw OP over. It's possible that some other person found the wallet first and took out the 400 dollars. In this case he's an idiot for thinking the thief of his money would return the wallet, though. And if this isn't the case, then this person disgusts me. When someone goes out of their way to help you ou should be thankful, don't try to squeeze some money out of them.

Yeah, that is the smartest thing to do when you find a wallet.

FMl. The owner should be grateful, but shouldn't you have turned the wallet to the police first?

Why was my comment thumbed down? It is true. Most police departments won't use a lie test over this issue..

Lol he cant lay any charges even if he wanted to. There's no proof that the op took any money even if he did. There's no case simple as that, op shouldn't worry. And they wouldn't use a lie detector test for a mere $400.00 that's just silly.

Why would you steal his money AND give him the wallet back...what a dumbass he is

To throw any potential investigators off of your tail.

And this is why you just return it to the local PD. That way you avoid situations like this.

Jeez, people just can't appreciate peoples niceness anymore can they? Always have to take advantage. Don't give him the 400 dollars I highly doubt there was money in it to begin with!
