A little off the orig. topic but about two years ago I was doing a job at a very large hospital complex. I was at the loading dock when a mortician rolled a recently deceased person down the ramp and loaded him up to go to, I'm guessing, a funeral home. I walked down the ramp and found three $100 dollar bills right where the dead guy was loaded into a minivan for transport. I thought it must've fallen out of the dead guy's belongings, who'd ever know, MY LUCKY DAY! Well, it took me about two minutes of thinking to realize this was not a plausible scenario. There were seven different general contractors working in this complex at the time and I went to every superintendent to tell them that I had found a certain amount of money in certain bills that would be easily recognizable by anyone who lost it. Four hours later I got a call from the supt. from the project I was working on, the guy who lost the money had been working on the same project with me all day long. I returned it to him, he was extremely greatful. Turns out that cash he dropped was to pay a Veterinarian because his dog had the Parvo. I could've walked away with $300, but I felt like I earned a lot more in the Karma dept.
