Found Money

its a jackpot moment followed by a doh moment

I had a buddy back in 1990 or so, when I was in the Navy... he went to get his haircut at the base Exchange, which was right by the Navy Federal Credit Union. He stepped out of his car, & right onto an envelope. Picked it up, and found fifty crisp new $100 bills. He went into the CU, and spoke to the branch manager, but there was no record of any $5000 cash transaction that day. He took it to the base security office, and filed a 30 day notice, and 31 days later the dough was his. BTW... he found it in mid-November & he had three kids. Was a great Christmas at his house!

My luckiest find is a single C-note... happened a few times.

It's always nice to find an unexpected bonus. That said, Auminer, your buddy did the right thing turning it in.

Back in college I worked as a part time electronics clerk at Sam's Club. My section was close to customer service so I could always hear the angry customers complaining. Well, one day I could barely pay attention to my work, because some yahoo was throwing a fit over $2,700 he lost that was supposed to be his vacation fund. He was sure he had left it outside at the gas station, and that someone must have "stolen" it. Well, sure enough, the managers pulled back the cameras, saw a club member pick a wallet up off the ground, pulled up his info from the transaction, and the cops prosecuted the man for theft.

Now, I don't know how I feel about the whole thing but all that was to say this - Be careful what you pick up. Just because it's on the ground doesn't mean it belongs to you.
