   Pete is right and we should be thankful that they do exist, we can
re-affirm "honesty is the best policy" by making sure that we reward
honesty whenever we can.   

 BTW - 10% is an oft quoted reward amount although in the case of 
something that you really can't put a value on 15-20% might be a
better idea.

I've been on both ends of the lost/found situation and when the 
reward was less than 10% I found myself wondering if I shouldn't
have kept the item myself !!!! Think about it .
