Could care less about screening. People what knows me know I am opinionated ;)

You return the wallet with no expectation of reward. If one is offered, whatever. I tend to try to reject rewards at least once when they are offered.

Like you said, you do the right thing BECAUSE it is the right thing, not because of what you may or may not get out of it.

Now (independant of the previous,) if I were the person getting the wallet returned, I'd probably have offered between $50 and $100, dependant upon what I could reasonably part with at that time. It would be ok to sacrifice some, but not put yourself in a really bad financial position. To me, $20 was a cheapskate "reward." It is the right thing to reward someone for doing the right thing.
