I was struggling up a steep, slippery wooded hill this morning so my eyes were very much on the ground.. Partly hidden under the leaves and mud I spotted a Samsung A3 mobile phone that had obviously been there for a while. I picked it up and found a soggy £140 tucked into the case. More in hope than expectation, I took it home and dried it out and was surprised to find that it still worked and moreover, had enough power left in it to flash it up. A quick skim through the contacts list found the owners home phone so I called them and he is coming to pick it up - shame really, the cash would have been nice for Christmas but my mum brought me up to be honest!

Well done ninthace. My parents also brought me up to be honest not clever :-) You will receive good Kama in due course.

Well done for being honest. They might give you a reward, a bunch of flowers or a box of chocs would be nice. :D

What a smashing story. It cheers me up no end when I read about things like this.

The phone and cash are reunited with their owner. Turns out it was a local keeper. Probably needed the cash more than I did but the phone was the main thing. It was full of pictures and important numbers. Gave me a warm fuzzy feeling.

That happened to me once about 7 years ago, I found a Nokia phone (no money though) in the grass in a lay-by on the Isle of Wight. It taught me one very important thing as I scrolled though the phone trying to make contact with the owner. Never leave loads of sexy messages, suggesting to the receiver what you would like to do to him! I found the owner, phoned her, waited and she drove to me to collect it. We had a bit of a chat, but she then left because she had to get back to teaching her class of children.
The only time I have found money was about three years ago in the middle of a local busy road near to our University, £30 in a wallet plus 3 photos. It looked like Mum, Dad and a young brother. When I took it to our local Southsea police station the desk Sargeant just said to me, "happens all the time mate, all the time!"

Last year found a smartphone on my street. Found a contact for "mum", dropped it off at a local house next day. My reward was "Thanks" ;D

I think that the vast majority of people are honest. When I lost my phone on the London Underground it had been handed in and my home phoned before I even realised it was missing.
I've told before about finding a viola for which I refused a financial reward but did accept 2 very good bottles of red wine.

I found a wallet, went to the address on the Drivers License which was less than a mile away that was a farm and the Gentleman farmer gave me £20.. He got his cards back..

Found a pound coin yesterday- popped it in the box in little church at Holcombe Burnell as I passed, towards the building funds.
Not religious but if we lose the churches we lose an amazing historic archive.

Im soft I guess but if I find money (less than £20) I feel bad about taking it. I think that could be someone's gas or electric money etc
