I handed in a wallet I found to the local plod office last year. It had over ten quid in it and no identity. Was told it was mine if not collected in a month. Went to collect 'my' tenner after five weeks, to be told it had been moved to another location. This went on for weeks, with it apparently being moved from location to location. The day after I requested it to be raised as a complaint, it was 'found'.
Guess what I'd do in a similar scenario?
Found a wallet on a train in London, as it was pulling out of a station. The ID inside gave a unique identity. Facebook located some 'friends', but not the owner. After a few days I was able to contact the owner, who told me they'd cancelled the cards, but were extremely grateful I'd found it. I think it may have cost them more than the cash inside to retrieve it!
