kindness isn't always the right thing
about 2 years ago, i found a pensioner's bus pass in the street. as the address on it was only about a mile away, i decided to take it back to its owner there and then.
i knocked at the door, which was opened by a very small, very old lady. "i just found your bus pass in the street. here you go" i said, handing it to her.
"YOU!" she yelled at me, "YOU STOLE MY BUS PASS!" and with that, she snatched it off me.
"um, no," i said, trying to explain, "i found it in the street and thought i'd return it to you. you must have dropped it"
"WHAT!?" she screeched in her best harridan tone, "I NEVER DROPPED IT! YOU STOLE IT" and she slammed the door in my face.
now, whenever she sees me, she glares at me and, if she's in a particularly bad mood, she'll mutter "thief!" at me.
wouldn't stop me from returning another one, though.

Unless it was hers?

if it was hers
i'd hand it in to the police station and let the old biddy pick it up herself

No no no no no.
If you find it again then keep it and when she mutters "thief" at you, you can pull it out of your pocket and dangle it over her head just out of reach singing "nerrr nerrr na nerrr nyeerrrr!"
