If friends volunteer to help me move, how the hell is that the same as finding money and checks and returning it to rightful owner (or assuming it's the rightful owner)??? But playing your "game" of stories, yes, I would buy them food/beer because that's what I do. If "I" volunteered my time to help my friends, I would not EXPECT them to provide me with food and beer. I am there on my own good will to help them move, not to eat and drink.
Sorry, I'm not going to agree with you on this one. You can have your opinion, and that's fine. I don't think it's right to EXPECT something in return after doing the right thing though. If I were to help solve a murder and there was a $1,000,000 reward for doing so from the family, NO, I wouldn't accept it. Would you?

Why did you give the guy a tip, because it is the right thing to do, just as it was for him to return the money. At least that is how I see it. Also, I never said EXPECT, I said HOPE, there is a difference. You expect to get a pay check every week, you hope to win the lottery.
Yes I would. If I took the time to solve the case why wouldn't I. Isn't that what cops, PI's and in some cases lawyers do every day?
