And if one is the recipient of returned lost money, one should always offer a reward, even if it's just a token amount -- at least let the honest person who returned it know that their honesty is valued. But never "expect" a reward, direct or via "karma", for your honesty; just know you did the right thing.

I can't agree with Barry' Glazer's desire to hurt widows and orphans who may have nothing else to support themselves other than dividends from a corporation where a late husband or father may have worked all his life, but I do agree with his interest in returning lost money when the owner can be identified. I also agree that doing the right thing is the way a virtuous life should be led and that any reward is the business of the other person.
