Father, Son Find, Return $2000

Dave McKay and his 12-year-old son, Dylan, were leaving the Boise Roadster Show at Expo Idaho Friday night when they noticed something in the road. "My son and I, we pick up after people," said McKay, who stopped to pick up the black bag, which looked like a strapless purse. They opened the bag and were stunned to find it stuffed with cash. McKay, a 36-year-old single dad who admits he sometimes questions his own parenting skills, was pleasantly surprised by his son's first reaction. "Before I said anything about what we needed to do with it, he said, 'We have to give it back, Dad. It's karma,'" McKay recalled. "He got the message right: We have to return it." But in the pockets of the bag, they found some vendor credit card receipts and a photo of an old roadster. But there was no ID. No names. No contact info/Katy Moeller, Statesman. More here.

Question: If you found $2000 in cash by the road, would you return it?
