Missing Money
This is an interesting story as I once found a $100 bill on the sidewalk outside a major hotel in Boston. I contemplated keeping it but thought I would do the right thing and turn it in. The front desk said that if no one claimed it in a year that I would get the $100. Well, of course no one claimed it and when I asked about the $100 bill there was mysteriously no record of it being turned in. I guess not everyone is as honest as this woman. The question I have is how do you distinguish between responsible behavior and foolishly putting yourself in harm's way and/or giving up good fortune for the benefit of a stranger? What criteria defines responsibility versus naivety?
