Honesty with money: too much change and the found wallet, sentence 3

"Finders keepers" is a playground saying, not a rule: the Bible says to give back what your neighbour has lost (Deuteronomy 22:1-3), and in many places found money should be handed in; if nobody claims it after a while, it is often given back to the finder.

Who acts: Finders keepers, Bible, neighbour, nobody · What happens: be, say, give back, lose, find, hand in · To what, where: money, many places, finder · Speech: someone speaks here
