Because "you" know that you wouldn't, don't you? Some of us will see the point, some won't. But in the end, it's all the same. You shouldn't EXPECT to be rewarded for something that SHOULD be done.

When I found a wallet on the street with over $500 in it, credit cards, etc, I went to the house, put the wallet through the mail slot and left. I don't believe that anyone should EXPECT a reward.

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?

I didnt expect anything in return...I knew it was the right thing to do.

Though, I think this case is a little different then something when a posted rewarded is expected...

Giving someone a tip for returning to you what rightfully belongs to you has nothing to do with "doing the right thing."
You give someone a tip out of gratefulness, not because it's something you "should" do because it's "right".

That is a matter of opinion. If I lose 1,000 and a person finds it and returns it to me I will tip them because to me, it is the right thing to do. They could have just as easily walked away with the money, the least I can do is reward them for their honestly.

As I said before though, I do not expect to receive a tip from anyone for doing the right thing, I will continue to hold doors for people and return things to their rightful owners when the opportunity arises, it makes me feel good, do unto others. However, hoping for a reward if you help someone out in a big way is in no way pathetic. Expecting or demanding a reward or thinking less of the person for not giving you a reward is low, but I was in no way saying that is what the OP should do.

I once found a brand new phone as the one I had so I kept it and transred all my numbers. I then lost it two days later at a bar. Next time I found a cell phone I sent it back.

Honesty is the best policy ALWAYS!!!
I know plenty of people that left cash or checks out or in odd places just to test their employee's it's a pretty common thing.

But the decision is yours, whats more important to you a little extra cash, or being a trust worthy person.
