I would only report something with a verifiable ownership. If that safe had an ID in it, you would be damn sure that the rightful owners would get the entirety of their $50,000 and not a penny less.

The world needs more upstanding citizens like you. I can't imagine how relieved they'd be to get back their $25,000

Who wouldn't return the $15,000 to the rightful owners! It's their $10,000 after all!

You've got to wonder why someone would dump a chest with $400 in it

I appreciate your guys' honesty but I honestly wouldn't bother to return the $100
