| I went to fav restaurant while ago and found a fiver on the floor right in front of the cashier desk. I asked the gent in front of me had he perchance dropped it and he said no. Finders keepers. What would you have done? Find any money lately? |
|
Just pennies and the like, lately. When I was a kid I found a wallet that was absolutely FAT with cash. I turned it in. Some neighbor kid watched me do it and insisted she "helped".  I got $5 in thanks - that was a HUGE amount for me. Might well have been $100. I bought an aircraft carrier model kit.

| I found an envelope with about $1500 cash in it outside of a bank once. I took it back in and turned it in. Fortunately there was a deposit slip in there so they called the person and let them know they dropped it. I think I would try to return anything over $1 just b/c I would want someone to do that for me. |

I spotted a 20 on the floor near the cashier behind me at Walmart. I picked it up and asked her if she had dropped it and she said she wasn't sure...so I gave it to her just in case. One of the floor managers (or whatever they're called) saw it and knocked $20 off my total. Honesty pays 
|
Not sure what the law is, but I'm willing to bet legally the money was conveyed with the sale of the house since the seller is responsible for removing anything of value that they wish to keep and is not included in the sale. |
ETA: I'll give you a shiny new penny for every grungy old buck you've got. |

My wife, son and I was at the supermarket and as my son and I got bored I told him lets go for a walk. We went to the edge of the parking lot and my son asked what I was doing I told him to look for money in the grass. He looked at me strange but I just kept looking. He started looking after I found a one then a ten. A few minutes later he found a ten. Now he will check parking lots when we are out shopping. I have found hundreds over the years doing that. |

I found a ladies wallet with over $250 cash, credit cards, DL and other ID's. Beautiful young, rich chick from MA. I found it the day before my wedding anniv. Gave it to the cops, next day I get a letter with a $150 gift certificate from the best steakhouse in Marco Island, FL. The Missus and I had a great anniversary dinner  Honesty is the best policy. Not the first time this has happened to me. |
