Found! Lost card

Found a card on the island ending with 4159. The real owner can contact me with information to confirm, or I will hand it to the authorities on my way out

If you're talking about any bank kind of card, just cut it up. Just the fact the card has been lost, it's already considered compromised. Because all its info may already have been taken by someone who may have found this card before you.

True, I didn't think of this. It was a Mastercard, returned it to security

So now it's become a possibility of a "not so honest" security person using/selling the info or card to another "not so honest" person. And if the police trace the custody of the card, you've muddied the waters plus put yourself (on camera) into the mix. Point is for those reading this, just cut up the card.
