Moral Dilemma

We've been getting mail that's meant for the house in an adjoining street with the same number. Up until recently we would just drop it in their box but after a spate of letters I explained what had been happening in a note on the envelope and suggested it might be time to get the post office to sort it out.

Fast forward a few days and there's a thank you note telling us it was all sorted and there was a $10 scratchit enclosed.

Nice but unexpected. Carole scratched it and said "hey we won $20". More scratching. "we won another $15". Still more scratching and we ended up with four winning games worth $100.

It's all good until Carole says we should give them half! Now I'm not exactly the pin up boy for gestures like this. There was the time the hobby shop charged me $1.56 for a scale model 67 Lotus that was actually $156 and when they put through an extra unauthorised transaction for the balance I asked for the paperwork with my signature and they had to retract it.

Then there was the time I was walking across the service station forecourt and there was a crisp $100 just lying there and I scooped it up in a smooth motion and kept walking.

Or the time I got to the car with my groceries and realised I had a $24 bag of dog food on the top part that I'd forgotten to put through.

So loyal readers please comment what I should do? Give em $50 or put the whole hundred towards my missionary work helping underpriveledged children learn how to read and write.

Realistically that's just you Tank so think carefully before you deprive those kids from what most of us take for granted.
