But now someone else has decided to keep it (and had to change the rules to do so) and she'll feel jaded. I'm sure $2000 is going to make a HUGE difference in Dallas' budget, too. Yay for shortsightedness!

Yes, I'm sure the city passed a law over the course of the three months it took to find the person who lost $2k... just so they could absorb that money.

If you look up the story again, you'll see that the law was actually put into use in 2009, it's being thrown out because it contradicts state law, and they will be giving her the money... and $5,500 the police association raised for her...

Nope, that can't be right though... it's gotta be some conspiracy to fuck over a 15-year old girl out of $2k she found in a parking lot.

Ok, that makes me feel better.
