A few times lately I've used the self-service machines in the Tesco near work and found someone has left their change behind
Today there was about 50p in change and a fiver hanging out of the slot. I'd only gone in for a £1 bag of mini-eggs.

Good on you for pocketing someone else's property.

There wasn't anyone immediately obvious that it belonged to, it wasn't particularly busy
There was a guy ahead of me who went to one of four free machines, I picked another but it wasn't accepting coins so I went to the next one along. I didn't notice the change until I put my coin in and I didn't even notice the fiver until after I'd already picked up the mini-eggs and started walking away from the machine. I didn't run up behind someone after they'd just left and swipe their money or anything.

Besides, I ploughed it straight back into the local economy, by means of the till in the pub next door at lunchtime.

My Nan and I used to sweep the trays of the old 2p push machines in seaside arcades.
An afternoon of free entertainment, if you're amused by paying on the 2p push machines.

We used to have a long row of phone boxes in the town centre.
Every time I went down town I'd see the same guy who used to spend his days hanging around that area, diving into any booth recently vacated and raking around in the change trays in case of stray 10 pence pieces. I guess he must have made a few quid otherwise he wouldn't have bothered.

Haven't seen him for years, chances are he died of a needlestick injury.

Hey!
That was mine! I had a phone call from my Uncle's best friend who has a dog that likes the next door neighbour, in which their dad knows a man in the pub who took poorly just before lunchtime.
I completely forgot to take it out the machine in a blind panic about not being able to get to them, so I would like you to return it.

If you don't, then I'll tell.

Feel free. I may demand a credit from time to time, but there'll be no royalties.
