Update: Saw a person vanish in a parking lot and now I'm stuck with a moral call
I was finishing up a late fence job yesterday. A woman walked to her car and then she was just gone, like she blinked out. Her car keys were lying on the asphalt where she stood. I picked them up without thinking. Now I don't know if I should tell anyone or just drop them at the police station and forget it.

A buddy of mine from my trucking days found a wallet full of cash in a rest stop bathroom once. He was just gonna leave it but then he thought about how he'd feel if it was his last paycheck. He ended up handing it to the station manager who found the owner through a credit card number. Said it felt way better than keeping a few hundred bucks would have.

Totally agree with the other reply here. Did the exact same thing with a wallet I found in a grocery store cart. Felt like I was in some weird limbo just holding onto a stranger's whole life. Handed it to the tired cashier at the customer service desk. Felt better immediately knowing it was their problem to solve. Just turn those keys in, it lifted a weight off for me and probably will for you too.

Well, finding a lost cell phone in a park once left me with the same kind of choice. I brought it to the nearest community center, and they had a system to return it to the owner. Doing that lifted the weight off my shoulders completely. Just turning in those keys to the police might give you that same relief.
