>If your first thought was "It's not stealing for such a small amount"

Well, actually... where I live, it would not be stealing for such a small amount, given that you don't know who lost it, and it was found in an abandoned alleyway (and not say, an office, store or station etc. where it could be handed over to local personnel). Had you said fifty, the situation would've been different.</nitpick>

Agreed. The amount is right on the edge of legality. Should you report it? Should you make an effort to find someone to hand it to? If the first shopkeeper around the corner says "Could be anyone's. Keep it" for a fifty, does that constitute a reasonable search for the owner?
