I find that a bit disturbing actually. Maybe it was an accident they forgot it and not intentional. Don't really think it's fair to call them stupid. I once accidentally left my entire wallet in a bathroom stall, I wasn't on a cell phone either. So by that logic I guess I could be called stupid for accidentally doing that with 500 dollars in it an somebody should have just taken it. I think the right thing to do would have been to leave it there, whether it was their money or not. But that's just me. Yes it's only 3 dollars, but it's the principal, but that's just my opinion.

As far as the gas goes, since you didn't do it intentionally, and the person was already gone, then nothing you can do about it. Had she still been there, they it would have been right to offer her the 10 dollars back. No need to feel guilty for an accident when it wasn't intentional and she was already gone.
