Doing my normal routine this morning, coffee, laundry, online news stories. I came across this.
Now my question to you is. . . What would YOU have done if you were these guys and had found the purse? Okay! Now would you have done the same thing if you KNEW there was $43,000 inside?
My answers in ...
I would have given it up either way. I would probably have had to sleep with it for a night or something but I would have turned it into the police the next day. I couldn't have enjoyed spending it or keeping it. My guilt would have consumed me.

Oh I'd return it, but I'd secretly wish they'd give me a nice reward for returning it! LOL
I agree...turn it in but HOPE for a nice reward...
I vote with you; I have a very active conscience. It would never have allowed me to keep it.
I would have turned it in. I know how I would feel if I lost that much money. $200 about made my cry.
Turn it in of course ... and then when I found out, I would fantasize about what I would have done with the $$$.
