I would hand it in for sure, I like to sleep nights. If I were then lucky enough for it not to be claimed I could spend it when and on what I like with a clear conscious. The 10% reward would do nicely otherwise.

Old enough to argue with your mother is old enough to stand on your own two feet and live elsewhere. Old enough to punch her to death is old enough for jail time.

Why on earth would a person who'd consumed any alcohol at all wish to park in front of a koban? Either stupid or very drunk mistaking it for a combini perhaps. And once again the old I mistook the brake for the gas pedal excuse, getting to be the same as I was drunk and don't remember.
