I found a police badge. What should I do with it.
It belongs to an Australian senior sergeant.

Go on a nationwide crime fighting spree.

call 'em up and return it. you'd probably get in a lot of shit if you got caught with it.
8
Sell it to Gizmodo.

Well, returning it would probably be a good start. Or at least calling someone to let them know you have it.

wear it, and go around whacking people with a stick, saying, in the voice of Eric Cartman, ''RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!''

I've been telling a few people that I had to steal it as part of my ninja-school training. This nearly seems plausible to a few friends cause I recently purchased some climbing gear that pretty much looks like it would be for cat burglary / ninja training. Also, how do you get the heart next to your name?
1
I asked qgyh2 for a heart in my favouriite pink, and he very kindly obliged :)
2
I've read the last ten comments you've posted while pretending you've added "RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!" to the end of them.
The result is quite amusing.

and I'm flattered that you have been obsessively following me round for months, it seems that you do indeed respect my authoritah over YOU haha
2
I'm amused that you think I've been following you "round" (it's 'round, dumbass).
it seems that you do indeed respect my authoritah over YOU haha
Do you think what you've just written:
-
A) Proves you are NOT a troll
-
B) Proves you ARE a troll
???
LOL

if you seriously believed that i am nothing but a troll, you would ignore me instead of obsessively following me round, hanging on every word i say ... but we both know, you are compelled to follow me, and that gives me authoritah over you :)

Throw it in a public mailbox (do you have those in Australia?) and let your post office deal with returning it.
4
Either turn it in or start making some arrests.
3
Drop it off at your local police station (assuming you're in Australia).
I really don't think you're going to get in the shit for finding it. More fool the officer who lost it though.
2
You could: Randomly bust into people's house, steal drug's, commandeer someones car.
2
Clearly, you need to impersonate the po po! Failing that, post it to them/hand it in/leave in anonymously. Upvote for Ninja school ruse.
2
Turn it in.
You won't get in trouble, unless how you found it = something illegal.
2
Guilty until proven innocent? Isn't that how the legal system works these days?
1
Return it you moron
2
I hear if you can post it to a friend overseas and get them to post it on ebay.com.au they go for a bit of money...
1
Throw it in the trash, you'll get in a lot of trouble if you get caught with it, and the negligent fool who lost it will probably get in trouble for a long time after if it's not found. If you try and return it they might decide to make it all your fault, you can't ever trust someone who lies and deceives for a living.
1
This is the main reason I asked what I should do with it. I'm worried that if I return it, I'll be met with a myriad of questions I'd rather not answer. The circumstances under which I found it are totally innocent, but I've seen these type of things be misconstrued.
1
ditch it--no good deed goes unpunished. the less you deal with cops the better
4
Reddit is probably the last place you should have asked for advice after finding a police badge. Just take it back to the station.

What a load of shit, talk about giving bad advice
1
Wanna tell me why it's a load of shit? or are you just spouting off?
0
Impersonate a police officer, duh.
1
Sell it on ebay.
Or maybe somewhere that won't show up on Google.
Maybe you could sell it to a news place, or even blackmail the officer.
1
Yeah I pulled you over because your roo doesn't have all it's tags. Now be a good mate and get your roo license up to date.
1
Just hand it into the police station already... the officer that lost it will probably have already had to request another one, so he's really not going to get into any more trouble.
It's the right thing to do, I'm surprised you had to ask.
1
Go in, tell them where you found it, hand it back, ask for the name of the officer you are giving it to, make a mental note of him and whoever the badge belongs to. Should you ever find yourself in trouble, ask to see them.
1
This is the best answer yet.
1
Rub your balls on it......then return it,
anonymously,
with a note that says, "I rubbed my balls all over this badge."
"I rubbed my vag all over this badge" would go down better
You said "Go Down"!
That would just make the police happy...
And then he said, "sigh....I'll never wash this badge ever again......"
