if you happen to find money (a little or a lot) and are unable to find the source despite looking hard, is it alright for you to keep it?

I once found a wallet on the street with about 4K in cash. It had no ID, nothing to link it to a person. I was only about 22 years old in the 80's so that was big money. I was a strong fundy then so I reported it to the police and filed. Seems I had to wait 10 days then, I did, the money was mine. I spent a lot of it when a month later two long haired wild men were knocking on my apt. door....they heard I found their money. They actually lived just a block away. I called the police....police said they were drug sellers and probably why no ID, had been arrested many times.
I found three $100 bills on the sidewalk years ago. Have no clue how they got there - the person who dropped them must have just done so, but I saw no one.
I took them to the police station, not feeling right about just pocketing the money.
In 30 days the police released it and I picked up the money because no one had claimed it.
I didn't know what else to do. I had no way of finding out whose money it was.
