Lost and Found cash

[Samw]

Well, I found some cash (enough to buy a new coral colony) on the floor in a fast-food restaurant and thought the right thing to do was to hand it over to them in case the person who dropped it comes to make a claim. So I thought if no one claims it then I, being the finder, can claim it. So the employee says fine, I can come by in the evening. So I did and then the owner or supervisor tells me that it is their money now and that I am not entitled to claim it. I couldn't believe it. I thought it was standard practise for the finder to keep lost and found items if it isn't claimed by anyone. Well anyways, I thought they were pretty unethical about it.
