Honesty Is The Best Policy!

Last night, we (the 8 of us) went for a movie. We watched 'Hot Summer Days', a good movie I would say. But no, this is not the point. After the movie, when I was about to exit the theater hall, Sardin asked me to wait for a little while.
Apparently, an old man who sat next to him accidentally dropped his wallet on his seat and went off not knowing he dropped it. We were somehow torn on what we were supposed to do. Do we...

a) "Put the wallet back la.." (Sardin)
b) "Wait here a while la.. maybe he (the owner) will come back search for it leh?" (Ah Kang)
c) *took out the IC and driver's license from the wallet* "We go out search for this man!" (Orange)
d) "Or wanna pass to police?" (Eric)
e) "Give charity la.. We help the man to do charity." (Guat Shan)
f) "Open the wallet, see inside got how much.. A lot ah? We take money, wallet put back here >D" (Me.. obviously just kidding.)

If you were in this situation, what would you do?

So, in the end, we went on with Orange's plan. We split into 2 groups, one group went around looking for the owner by tracing people's faces using the IC and the other group stay near the cinema, also tracing people's faces using the license. After what seems like maybe 30-45 minutes, we still couldn't find this man. Therefore, we almost...

1) Pass to the police.. but Prince said, "Also no use wan."
2) Pass to the cinema counter.. but Guat Shan said, "I think they will just take the money though."
3) Go to this man's house.. but the address seems weird.

In the end, Sito's sharp eye spotted a man as described by Sardin. And alas, we found the uncle and passed the wallet back to him. He was kind enough to want to give us RM50 to 'yum cha' but hey.. we're a group of extremely kind and honest student. We were not expecting anything in return so, we thank the uncle and said it was not necessary.

There! The group of honest students! XD

Well, although what I describe may seem typical and troublesome but hey, I think it was kind of fun in a way and at least we did something that made a person happy :D
