Do you pay attention to the outside or do you often just rip open whatever it may be?
I went to my PO box yesterday to get payments for the business and was just opening all of the envelopes and not paying attention. I was came across a $400 money order. Most of our customers don't pay in money orders, so it naturally caught my eye. I looked at the envelope and realized I didn't know the name, then saw it wasn't addressed to us.
I can't lie the fleeting thought of putting $400 in my pocket sounded nice 
However, I looked up the guys name that it belonged too and called him. I wanted to let him know that his rentor paid and I had his money. They were very thankful and appreciated the call. Typically I would have put it back in the mail, but since I had ripped it open and it was a payment I thought I'd call.
My good deed for the day
Re: Mail
Oh I do this all the time.. Oops!
How nice of you!
ETA: and by do this all the time, I mean open envelopes without looking, not open envelopes that belong to other people.

I usually look at the return addresses before I open anything. If it's something out of the ordinary, I would notice it right away. Especially handwritten stuff. That's so nice that you called the guy.

If I get the mail I try to sort through it before I even get in the house. Our neighbors who live behind us have the same street address plus a letter, so if I get something that should have gone to them, I try to pop it into their mailbox before I get back into the house otherwise it ends up being a week before I get around to it again!
I try to dump all of the junk mail into the recycling bin before it comes into the house.
If there is junk mail that comes in an envelope I let the kids open it. DD thinks all extraneous credit card applications are letters to her from friends.
This is so cute!
