If you know where to send it, send it. But if you don't know where she lives, then theres no choice but to keep the free money!

If you can almost see the $20 then chances are if you "return to sender" some postal inspector along the way will see it too. Not saying this justifies stealing it, but better you then them right?
Save the return address, and when you have enough money, send a letter to that address explaining your situation and include a money order for $20

You're joking, right? You think they would take that shit?
I would probably send it back, but I guess it would depend on my mood.

This girl had mail arriving at my old apt for over a year no matter how many times I told the post office she didn't live there anymore. Then around X-Mas time last year she got a small package. I figured, fuck it, and opened it, and found a $175 designer leather case for an iPod mini. That made my shopping a little easier. No, I didn't feel guilty. Bitch had been filling up my tiny mailbox for one and a half years already.

Do you justify your theft to make you sleep better, or so to not have to taint your self image? I've done shady shit too, but I usually try not to justify it and just admit that I was a piece of shit that needs to improve himself.

Really, if you really think you need it, just take it. Don't try to justify it by lying to yourself.
But if you can't do that, just hope she's a total cunt and your possession of it is a result of her own bad karma.

Don't take it man, that'd be fucked up. Imagine if that card was yours..but if it's a huge hassle to get it back to the person than I'd say fuck it and take the money. You're gonna feel like an ass afterwards trust me.:(

I think it was a few years ago that I kept getting mail for some guy and one time my father decided to open one of them, lo and behold it was a check from microsoft for like $250,000. Too bad it was just a copy of the check.

Karma is funny. I once took a winter jacket out of storage, ran it through the washer, ran it through the dryer, and then wore it. It felt like I had a paper towel in the inside pocket so I reached in and lo and behold, 2 fifties folded together.
Could be karma. Could be that I got stoned and forgot about 'em last year. Heh, karma on loan. I was bad last year so I lost $100, but this year I was good so I find $100.

excuse me?
last time i checked, $10 = $10. please correct me if my math is wrong. im not a very educated man. and who are you to dictate decisions as right or wrong, or their monetary worth for that matter?
and as being worthless (according to your logic) ill take it, since it wont be missed. $10 is certainly worth something to me.

I found 50 bux at borders books once. I was waiting on line and spacing out up next, by the time i got to the register all the people who were there before were out the door, found the fitty right by mah feets. Looked around and was gonna ask if anybody dropped money, but of course anyone's gonna say yes to 50 bux so I kept it. Smoked out my friends and put the rest towards bills 
Ironic I was buying books by deepak chopra and think and grow rich by napolean hill?
