Woman finds $40,000 in cash on street and turns it over.

A mother of six children (on social assistance) found a plastic bag full of cash in the middle of a busy street in Toronto on Monday (Dec 6./04). She promptly walked into the brach of the TD Bank, just accross the street and offered them the found money. The bank (wouldn't you know it) accepted the cash and rewarded her with $2000 for her honesty. Unfortunately for her the bank did not miss any of the funds, moreover had she turned the money over to the police she could have been $40,000 richer in 90 days provided that nobody claims it.
Now the question is "what would Jesus do?"
How about you? What would you have done?
How important is morality when you have six hungry mouths to feed? Should you keep whatever you find or do you have a moral obligation to seek out the unfortunate looser whose vallet is now 40 grand lighter? Does the bank have any right to keep the money since there were no records of any missing?
Whose money is it anyway?
