WWYD if you found a bag of $

[RACER X]

so on the news last night, some lady came thru and ATM drive-thru and found a bag of $, like $120k+ in small bills?


i'd run off to the caymans myself.......at least for awhile........:rockout:

she turned it into the cops.

[Homeslice]

I'd do exactly as she did.......

Just cuz someone lost it doesn't mean they WANTED to lose it, or that someone else has the right to claim it.

[Ninjakel]

Hard question to answer.

I honestly don't know what I'd do

[Particle Man]

... hit you over the head with it.

[Mr Lefty]

I'd turn it in... hope for a reward.... but the cost of my conscience would be too much for me to just take it... :idk:

[shmike]

First, I'd figure out who it belonged to.

If it was a large corporation, I'd keep it because that is ok.

If it were a private individual, I'd justify it until it seems ok, then I'd keep it.

I'd post on message boards that I'd do / I did the right thing.

I always do the right thing, online.

[Tsunami]

It probably belongs to the bank if its in a bag and for that sum of money, so being that my tax dollars are keeping them afloat anyway, i'll be tempted to take a few hundred dollars but yeah i would turn it in and pray for a reward!

[NONE_too_SOFT]

I'd take it home and open up a security lock box the next day and wait and see if there was anything about it in the news, or a reward of sorts. If it turned out to be granny's life savings then i'd consider returning it. If it was drug money or something similar i'd feel no regret keeping it.

more than likely i'd never read the paper though, and be headed on a nice vacation. I'd call it my personal stimulus package.

[Mr Lefty]

that would be enough to fund my trip round the world though.... hummmmm

[Apoc]

An ATM bag left there, that didnt belong to a poor person?

I'd have some 'pocket change' for a long time. No big purchases, just spending money.

A purse or wallet full of money? Or money that belonged to a person. I'd return it in a second.

[goof2]

I would like to think I would turn it in because that is the honorable thing to do. I would definitely turn it in in this case. It was at an ATM drive thru, presumably at a bank. There would be cameras all over and I don't think I would like the result if I tried to keep it.

pretty much exactly my thoughts. I couldnt rightfully keep it unless I knew some coporation or drug dealer lost it.

if it were the money a poor family were going to use to buy a home, I'd be compelled to return it. I couldnt sleep at night if I knew a family just lost the money they were using to buy their home with.

but corporate CEO or drug dealer's money, well they're both criminals to me anyhow, so fuck em.

then again, if I kept it, I dont know exactly what I"d do with it, other than a high interest account in the caymans and call it my "retirement fund" or buy myself a house in cash and tell the world to fuck off.

[Rider]

I'd "borrow" the money for a while. I'd go to the store and buy beer for say $4/6 pack. I'd find a person on welfare, sell them the beer for say $25 in food stamps/6 pack, then I'd take those food stamps and sell it to a single mom with 10 kids at $10 for every $20 worth of food stamps. I just doubled my money and I'd give the original amount back to the rightful owner if I could find them. :rockout:

[HurricaneHeather]

My biggest issue would be that some Armored Truck employee or bank employee is now going to be fired for losing $120K

Maybe it belongs to the bank and they suck, but some person was responsible for that and could lose their job over it. And could possibly be accused of stealing it. :(

Just for argument sake, and no I'm not stalking you...
But, if somebody,s job is to not lose the money.. And they lost the money.. What do you think the chances are that they'll keep their job?

[HurricaneHeather]

True. I just wouldn't want them to have to go to jail because they were accused of stealing. Which is what happens when that much money goes missing.

[Curb]

i'd like to say that i'd turn it in...most likey i would, but the bag would definitely be a lot lighter...say 20Gs lighter...

who the fuck am i kidding...curb goes on a world tour!

I mean you said its in small bills...right there that would raise a flag that this could be drug money or laundred money. so chances are this money could've been illegally obtained so i'd probably lay low and see if anything came up in the news

[CrazyKell]

I'd turn it in. But I didn't even need to read the OP's response to know what he says he'd do. :lmao:

It's not mine...plain and simple. :idk:

[Fleck750]

If no cameras, mine. 5k would make life a lot better right now.

[fasternyou929]

I mean you said its in small bills...right there that would raise a flag that this could be drug money or laundred money. so chances are this money could've been illegally obtained so i'd probably lay low and see if anything came up in the newsCurb, your logic (and many other's here) frightens me. It's a bag of small bills next to an ATM! Who launders money through cash deposits in an ATM?

I'd be willing to bet $120K that it was money used to fill the ATM (which dispenses small bills) and not laundered drug money. :lol:

[Bluestreak]

I'd probably struggle with the decision, but in the end I'd probably end up turning it in.

With $125k I'd be debt free and that's what would make it such a difficult decision.

About 120K. (give or take at little)

No name on the bag? That shit's mine. If you're stupid enough to lose 120 grand, I'm smart enough to keep it. :lol:

JC

[MissHell]

I'd probably need to think about it a few minutes, but I'd turn it in. Would have my fingers crossed for a reward. :yes:

When I was younger I worked at a store where we kept most of the $20's outside of the register. My co-worker and I used to joke if we were held-up, we'd keep that money for ourselves. I ended up being held-up when I was working alone, I didn't give the thief the money outside of the register. :eek: Honestly it never even occurred to me to stash that money for myself. :shrug: If I recall correctly it was around $400 that I didn't give to the thief.

[Dragonpaco]

i would keep the everloving fuck out of it unless i saw something on the news that made me feel bad. then i'd spend about 1k on various booze and still keep it

[askmrjesus]

For that kind of money, you could buy your conscience of really nice bottle of single malt, and tell it to shut the fuck up. :lol:

[Rsv1000R]

I would bet they had it on video, and whoever just turned it in before they had to watch a bunch of it to find a license plate.

While it'd fuel a lot of dreaming, I'd probably return it.

[t-homo]

As long as there were no cameras, sure I'd keep it. I like how you guys single out CEOs with drug dealers.

[lauralynne]

I would like to think that I would turn it in. I would hope that I would turn it in. But I know it would be a tough decision. If I did keep it, I would spend forever looking over my shoulder to see if the rightful owner was right behind me. I have a guilty concience. I just do.
I have kept money I found before. After I spent it (it was around $300 - which was a shit ton of money for me at the time) I found out who it belonged to. I still feel bad 20 years later. I don't want that again.

[lauralynne]

fine, if i ever come into a metric shitload of money then yes i will buy you a 67 mustang.

we haven't done a '67 yet but a couple of '66 have come through:

Fifty bucks, in like-new condition, barely used :dthumb:

Big bag of money sitting next to an ATM, guaranteed to be on camera... I wouldn't even pick it up. I wouldn't get to keep it, so it can be someone else's responsibility.

Now, a duffel bag of cash washed up on the beach when no one else is around? That shit's paying some bills and buying some toys over the next couple of years.

[askmrjesus]

Shit, jesus said it's ok. It's all good.

Over the years I've learned that nobody likes a preachy Jesus.

JC

[Flexin]

I could really use the money right now but I would turn it in. If it was at the bank I would bring it in the bank to return it.

If I found it on the street I would try to find the owner.

I was watching a show about a couple that found about $50000-100000 in their back yard. They thought it over and in the end they decided to turn it in to the police. The law in that state said that they had to post an ad in the paper for 90 days so they did. Nobody replied so they were able to keep the money.

Better than not telling anyone, and then getting caught later.

When I lived in Fla, there was something in the news about a duffle bag full of coke falling out of the sky, I decided you'd be a fool to keep it, and when you turned it in you'd better make sure it has the right amount of coke in it, and the news reports the right amount.

You don't want the previous owner to come looking for any differences....

[Bluestreak]

Not to single anyone out but...to those that answered in this manner I have one question: How much does your conscience cost? :idk:

In this example, it's not about how much my conscience costs. If my wife and kids lived on peanut butter and jelly cause we couldn't afford groceries... damn straight it would be hard for me to return the money.

Suddenly finding out that you found 2 years worth of income fuels a lot of dreaming. I'd be lying if I said I would return it without thinking about what it would be like to go out and blow it all on a new bike/boat/jetski/truck/house etc...

I too would like to think I'd turn it in for the right reasons, but in the end it would be my fear of consequences that would get to me.

[Amorok]

I would turn it in before someone came looking for it. People who leave 120 grand laying around are stupid, but so are violent bastards who would come after 120 grand. I don't actually have a conscience, but I do have a finely developed sense of self-preservation.

[tallywacker]

If your in a mental position that would allow you to leave 120k around and forget it u didnt deserve it. If it was me I would have kept it in my gunsafe and slept infront of it until i spent it all. If your in dire finacial straits how could you just brain fart the knowledge of the money.

[Kaneman]

What bag of money? I didn't see a bag of money.

I'll bet my life some "poor" family isn't sittin on 120k in cash.

I'd give the 80K back....hey no taxation without representation!

[derf]

I'd keep it and report a similar amount as gambling winnings in atlantic city, maybe 95k, That way I can put it in a bank and use it rather than hide it. I'm confident my consience can take the hit without bothering me too much, and if it does, I'm sure the money used at the strip joint will make me feel better.

[njchopper87]

If it's from some overpaid jackass or a drug pusher I'd probably keep it. If it's from some average joe that was just being smart in saving (but dumb in leaving it lying around) I'd return it and hope for a reward.

What is your definition of an overpaid jackass? There are plenty of jackasses making $10/hour that are way overpaid. I don't think how much money a person earns has anything to do with what is right.

I would give it back. I'd hope like hell there was a reward and then kick myself in the butt thinking of all the things I could have done with the money. It would more than pay off my bills and help my family with some of there bills. Damn my conscious:lol:

[Homeslice]

So if it was a wedding ring you guys found, would you take it to a pawn shop and sell it? After all, someone would have to be an idiot to lose something like that, right? They deserve to lose it, right? Just curious about some of the logic being displayed here.

[Dragonpaco]

when a bag filled with 100k cash becomes as small and easy to loose as a wedding ring, is when you can compare the two

[Homeslice]

So essentially you're saying that just because something like a bag of money is large and seemingly hard to lose, the person who lost it deserved to lose it, making it OK for you to keep it.

[Tmall]

EL PASO, Texas -- Officials at an El Paso bank said $120,000 found at an ATM doesn't belong to the bank.

Letty Armendariz, an east El Paso resident, found the money outside an ATM at the GECU on Saul Kleinfeld Drive and Montwood Drive.

She immediately called police and turned the money over.

Nothing wrong with noticing something but taking money isn't the best idea after finding it.

To me, my first thought would be that it was a small-medium sized business that lost the money. That amount of money could shut down a good small business.

When I had my small used car business I had give me $4000-6000 in cash. I had to take that to the bank. If I dropped it along the way it would have fucked me.

Woman returns $100K found at restaurant

By Doug Davis, The (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) Daily News Journal
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — A Murfreesboro, Tenn., woman chose not to follow the old saying "Finders keepers, losers weepers" when she discovered nearly $100,000 in a bag at a local Cracker Barrel restaurant. But it wasn't that the thought didn't cross her mind.

"Satan will tempt you," said Billie Watts, 75. "I have been having real bad teeth problems. I thought, 'I'll get my teeth fixed.' "

She ultimately decided to return the money she found in a bag in the women's restroom to its rightful owner.

Watts had to be coaxed by Michael Peralta, one of her 12 grandchildren, to tell her story.

"I'm proud of her because if anyone in the world deserved to find $97,000 it was them," Peralta, 31, said of his grandparents, who live in an apartment and depend on their Social Security checks.
FIND MORE STORIES IN: Florida | Tennessee | Social Security | Manila | Malcolm | Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

The excitement began when Watts stopped by the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store with her husband, Malcolm, Thursday afternoon. In the bathroom, she found a tapestry bag hanging on a hook on one of the stall doors.

"It had a Manila envelope that was sticking out of the bag," she said. "It couldn't zip up; it was too full."

She searched the bag for the identity of its owner. Inside the envelope was a picture of two women and a child, but no names. Then she spotted the money.

"I said 'Oh my goodness,' " Watts recalled Monday. "I have never seen that much money in my whole life. I counted the money. There was $97,000 in one-thousand-dollar bills. They were neatly stacked inside the bag. "

Watts decided to leave the restaurant with the money.

"I was afraid to go to the counter," she said. "Maybe the wrong person could get ahold of it."

After the couple returned home, Watts called the Cracker Barrel restaurant.

"I told them I found something in the bathroom. I just left my number and asked them to call me."

In 10 to 15 minutes, a woman called.

"I knew it was the right person when she called. She identified the picture, the envelope and the money," said Watts. "I met her in front of the Cracker Barrel about 15 to 20 minutes after she called me."

In the restaurant's parking lot, the woman who left the money got out of her car and approached Watts.

"She run up and hugged me. She got excited and didn't even look at the bag except to pull out the picture to show it to me," said Watts. "She said it was the only picture she had of her daughter and her daughter's child, who are both deceased."

The money, the woman told Watts, was the proceeds from the sale of her home and all the belongings in it.

"She was going to start her new life in Florida with her son," said Watts.

The woman offered to pay Watts $1,000, but Watts refused it.

"(The woman) told me she needed every penny she could to start over," said Watts. "(The money) wasn't mine. I had no right to it. My mom and dad told me never to take anything that didn't belong to me."

ok since i don't trust cops
(no offense to any LEO's here), maybe i would hold on to the money and see if anyone claims it missing. If someone did legitimately did lose that much money, wouldn't it be on the news?

after a few months, if no one comes forward, then its mine!

Now if you end up stumbling across that money and no one claims it, do you have to pay taxes on it?
