you find a wallet

[barbara]

So what difference does it make if the money belonged to a Mexican?

Mexican, American, Chinese, Hmong.... Doesn't matter..... The finder should do the right thing regardless.

No American address.

send the wallet back to the home address in Mexico without the money.
Ask for a person to send it to. Most likely his family will tell him or let you know who to wire the money to. Most likely they rely on him for remittances back from the States.

that is the best way.
Investigate the best and safest way to send the wallet back.


even if you mail the wallet with the money back to Mexico you are doing him a big solid.....at least his relatives get it.
I just do not know how reliable the Mexican mail system is.

It maters in the regard that you just can't mail it to Mexico and expect it to get there. They might be living here and not on vacation lol

I'd turn it in to an organization like "No more Deaths"

They would know better how to handle it than I would, and I would trust them to do the right thing.

The only reason I mentioned the wallet belonging to a Mexican is that the only id was from Mexico. Sending cash to Mexico gives me pause.

You need to calm down.

This is what I was thinking although I am leaning toward Dave's 30 day policy. .

You'd hear from the family. Then you wire them the money.

Yeah that definitely is the right thing to do.

I am going with the 30 day rule.

Write a letter to the address on the ID, have them call you to ID what you found.

If no response.

Donate the funds...

I was with you until that last line.....
