Hate to admit that I know about this, but most banks still notify by USPS. I know this because my wife WAS really bad about overdrafting. I didn't even have to open the letter to know what it was.

What Should I Do When I Find A Lost Credit Card: Turn It In, Cancel It Or Try To Contact The Owner?

Easy. Four to five cuts, and two to three trash cans. Ok, so not that easy. But they will notice it is gone shortly and get a replacement. And with it being a platinum card, there will probably be no cost.

Now if it was a wallet, I would call either the Google number, or the number from the operator from the drivers license.
I found a wallet a few years back and it was from out of state. I called the operator from a payphone saying I found a lost wallet. They connected the call and I left a message. Their parents called them and I later met them to return it.

This post should have been fleshed out more. There is a lot more than just that. How about talking to a real estate lawyer first to find out if you can do this legally. Some cities have laws against this.

Was the card charged?

If you order online for BF, you take the risk on having it fulfilled or not. Sure, I ordered a PS3 on Thanksgiving and got a confirmation instantly. Was I expecting it to go through? Not really. Only then it was charged I expected it to be finalized.

I am guessing they are using govt' math. Where they say they 'cut' spending, but still spend more than the last year.
