You need to calm down.

I am calm.

Why would you even consider sending anything to Mexico when it likely the owner of the wallet is in the vicinity the wallet was found?

Your options are the same no matter whose wallet you find. If in a place of business, you could bring it to the lost and found. If on the street, you could bring it to the police station.

You don't use it to help the Mexican economy by buying $182.00 worth of Corona Familiars? What's this world coming to.

It actually did go to the police station in the end.

In a year it is mine. Not to be a cynic but in a year I don't expect the cash will still be in it.

Freakin' Pete, always with the reasonable solution.

You should really become a Dem. You can keep your guy if you come over!

LOL!

I'd consider it but the rainbow baseball caps don't appeal to me :elbowrib:

I once found IIRC $300 in $100 bills on the ground next to a gas pump off the interstate, nothing else to ID. Other then the clerk the place was basically mine alone, nobody else in sight. I really had no idea at the time what to do with it and ended up keeping it, I still don't know what I should have done with it.

You place it in your pocket, say nothing and act casual while walking away quickly but not conspicuously.

It's cash. No owner. Not at all like finding cash in a wallet.

Anyone can and will say it's theirs if you ask.

You hear that Pete? If you like your guy, you can keep your guy!

I think I would send a nice letter to the Mexican address, asking for a photo copy of the person's legal right to be in the U.S.
If they provide it, I'd then send another letter telling them where they can find the wallet and cash (under the big rock next to mile marker 133 on Hwy X).
If they don't provide proof the individual was here legally, I keep the money and the wallet and the ID.
