People who hand in lost and found items will get a cash reward of 10 percent of the cost of the property under a proposal being considered in Guangzhou province, Guangzhou Daily reports.

The regulation, once implemented, will benefit both parties, the paper said quoting a police officer. The move is currently under public consultation.

However, some are doubtful about the method, saying greedy people are not likely to return items for a mere 10 percent reward, and noble people will return the item without requiring a reward.
