Don't wish to belabor the point, but don't want a mischaracterization either.

We're not talking about the same 'high road' here. If you're walking down the street and some innocent person unknowingly drops their wallet, and you pick it up and give it back to them (as we all would), that's taking the high road. But if some scumbag criminal tries to steal your wallet, and you end up with HIS wallet after the scuffle is over and don't give it back, you're the bad guy????

If that happened, not only would I be able to sleep like a baby at night, but I would have no trouble looking in the mirror when I hit the bathroom to take a whiz at four in the morning.

The instance being discussed here is a helluva lot closer to the latter than the former.

Rant over.

Interesting question. I guess my gut reaction is I still would not feel right keeping the would be thief's wallet. Not preaching, just speaking for myself on this one.

Yeah, I'd turn it in to the police with the explanation of how I came to have it.
Then just let them do what they will.
