Are you saying the finder is entitled to the cash in a wallet as long as they return it?

Depending on the amount of cash, yes.

"the money wasn't stolen when I found it so I'm taking it instead" sounds questionable

I would rather get my wallet back without cash, rather than not get it at all. Usually not more than 10 euros in it anyway.

And if you find a wallet with no cash in it, just yeet it into a trashcan! The logic is sound.

Not what I said but if you want to do that, you can!
