For doing the right thing? You really shouldn’t be. Imagine yourself in the situation of loosing your wallet and the person that found it having doubts if he should go to the police to hand it over or not. Money or no money, ID cards / drivers licenses are a hassle to get replaced (at least over here 
)

The Money is my reward for finding your wallet and returning it to you, thats how I see it.

In his situation I’d prefer to give a statement over refusing. Especially with a mostly unsolvable crime. What’s really dumb is that he couldn’t just make a statement remotely or in person right there, but I’m assuming the police showed up.
@Swangtheugly did the cops show up to your work and ask you to make a statement or did you just go there bc work told you to when the ungrateful person got their wallet back?

I got a call from the police last night and was asked to come in for a statement that same night since I live a few streets down from them. I gave my statement and that’s about it. I’ve been with this job for a few months and the managers stuck up for me saying that I don’t cause any trouble.
After I gave my statement that ends my involvement with them cause for what footage there is it’s beat for beat what I wrote in my statement.

Allow me to slightly amend @Quinn’s statement: best rule for life is to never talk to cops without your lawyer present. Like, ever. Nothing is “unofficial” or “off the record” with them. If they just want a statement from you for something as harmless as finding a lost wallet, they’re prodding you for info to see if they can get you to slip up and even imply you had something to do with it, and they’ll ask you to come see them for “follow-up questions.” Don’t talk to them without a lawyer anytime you can help it, @Swangtheugly, and only say what your lawyer tells you to say, and exactly how they tell you to say it. The peak of my official education was a degree in criminal justice, so trust me on that if nothing else.

People suck. This person made you go through all that and now next time you see a lost wallet you may want to go “oh look who left this garbage on the ground,” and toss it into the closest bin 
I know that’s not you though. You’ll turn it in again.

So, while nothing works out with a job yet, we’ve booked a trip back home for a couple of weeks in mid-March.
Main reason is because we need to make new international passports, old of which will expire this December. And the quickest and easiest way to do it at home.
At the same time it’s a good chance to visit home and all the relatives.
We booked both way trip already, but I feel I won’t want to leave home again 
Though I like it here in UK, want to stay and all that, but leaving everybody behind during war for the second time is not that easy and they still don’t express any desire to come.
Though they agreed to make international passports too. Maybe it’s a first step. Maybe we’ll persuade them in person while being there.
And also while being at home I’m planning to buy a powerful gaming laptop, so if everything goes well, I’ll fully come back to HITMAN in April

Tried some vegan birthday cake bought to accomodate my dairy-intolerant niece this weekend, and all I could think about was dates and bamboo milk, cardboard and honey.
(It was actually kinda yummy.)

We’re playing the “folks” drinking game* for the State of the Union Address.
We can’t keep up. Biden has said it 30 times already and it’s been 20 min.

Should start planning out a potential liver transplant.

Should’ve played the “Majorie Taylor Greene is an obnoxious asshole” or “Kevin McCarthy is a spineless husk who just follows the last voice in his ear” or “Kyrsten Sinema is a pathetic attention whore” drinking games instead. There still would have been a lot drinking but probably a fair bit less and you might have been able to spare your liver. (As long as you don’t play two or more of them simultaneously because, Christ, what a state our sorry excuse of a “government” is in…
