Dear Fonseca
I went thrifting with some friends on Saturday. We stopped at several stores. During our last stop, I found $600 in an old handbag. I took the money and left the store. Now, I'm starting to feel guilty and am thinking about going back to the store and turning in the cash. My friends say I shouldn't and reminded me of the phrase; ''Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers.'' I'm torn and not sure what to do because I don't know where the money will go. It's not my fault someone forgot to check their bag before donating it. What would you do if you were me?
