I Find Stuff

Found the following things in the last few days:

1)
Tuesday. Found a Bob's World Authentic Snow Gear Snow Donut while jogging in a commercial area that had blown there by the wind.

2)
Wednesday. Went to Taco Bell and a customer ahead of me had left his/her change in the automatic change dispenser.

3)
Thursday.
Found a gold ring and a penny while jogging in the same commercial area as Tuesday.


Here is what I did.
1)
The Snow tube had an owner's name on it so I put it up on the Craigslist lost&found.
2)
I tried to find whoever was customer #64 but I couldn't find him/her... they had already disappeared. (customer #65 said he paid by credit) so I put the change into a donation device that was there on the counter - I don't remember what the donation was for.
3)
I looked up the gold ring online to find out its worth. You can buy one of these for around $50. This one is also going on Craigslist lost & found.


My question is, what do you do when you find things that aren't yours that might have some value to somebody?

A) Be thankful for your good fortune. Finders keepers!
B) Return it if it has a lot of value, otherwise just keep it.
C) Go to extraordinary lengths to find the owner, if not found, donate to charity.
