As the saying goes find a penny pick it up all day long you'll have good luck. Well apparently not - a woman who kept a £20 note she found in a shop has been convicted of theft. Nicole Bailey, 23, picked up the cash at shop in Stoke-on-Trent, after it was dropped by a customer who withdrew it from a nearby cash point, she said she had no idea who it belonged to. So was she in the wrong or is it a case of finders keepers? Vinny got the views of commentators Martin Daubney and Fionola Meredith.
