    $17, 201 huh?

    So, the next time the ATM says it is out of money...
    I should try to take out $1?

    I know there were cameras...

    But I would have taken my chances...
    The guy hadnt used the ATM...
    He was just standing in line...

    He reached down and picked up a bag....Is that a crime???

    there was a story recently about a family that moved into a home and found trashbags full of money in the ceiling and called the former owners to give it back

    how could you (as the former owner) forget that you stashed trashbags full of money in your home, and just sell it and move??
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    I think it turns criminal when the bag is labeled CHASE and its outside their bank

    If it was just a brown paper bag..no brainer Im keeping it !

    Yep...

    I would have waited a few weeks, if the authorities knock on my door....I hand them ALL the money.....

    If a few weeks go by, and NOBODY has knocked on my door...

    Well, then I have some decisions to make...hehehehehe

    i found once a wallet...was around 6000 $ in it..i go to the police station and give it to find the owner..
    my first thought was to keep it..but in the thought of feel guilts about it,i prefer not to get crazy in my mind..the bad thing was all the questions of the police..where u found it?how?u know the guy lost it,you ever have a fight with him.u ever found a wallet in the past..etc
    the good part was the guy lost the wallet gave me 1000$ as reward for find his wallet..

    A wallet is different... But if I found a bank bag full of money, it's going home with me.

    Loomis is the armored carrier that we use, I'm amazed that their employees don't lose money more often, most of them are idiots.

    yeah..it was Greek money but the cash if u do the maths was 6000$ american..the law says he had to give me the 5-10% .but he gave me almost 20%..and really felt good..cos he had the money to pay for his wife sergury..so i didnt keep the money,and i got a very good reward for that..wasnt mine in the first place.. :)

    A wallet is one thing, but a random bag of money is another.

    I too would have taken it.

  • ClaireackClaireack Posts: 13,561
    The guilt would have got to me, so I would have handed it in.

    I even admitted to bumping a neighbours number plate and putting a little crack in it - I had to buy them a new one, but I just wouldn't have felt right not telling them.

    This was the only article I could find...it was all a set-up...the robbers' friend worked at Walmart, told them when the Loomis guy was gonna show up to pick-up money. They got caught because the robbers bragged about the sting operation.

    WOW, today in my bar prep course we were given this exact scenario. If you ever find yourself in this situation I suggest giving it back- unless you want to be found guilty of larceny.

    I am happy I was able to remember what crime would be committed here lol.

    former owner was dead....his heirs sold the house....new people found like 45K in ammunition containers in the attic.


    i think i would have kept it. once that deed is transferred, that's it. sorry charley. my house, like alot of other houses, i'm sure came with a few presents left by the former owners. i didn't get anything good, but did get a couple of things....like yard tools, patio furniture, etc.

    Unless you have reason to know who that brown paper bag belong to- ie you saw a person in the pizzeria minutes earlier ask the owner if they saw a missing brown bag in the area and you now see that person walking to their car.

    Exactly. I've found a wallet and returned it to the person before. I lost my wallet before and I know how much of a pain in the ass that is.

    But a random bag of money??? I wouldn't have taken the money and run!

    I'm sure it was a bank security plastic bag, in which I say stick it to the mother fuckers. It's not like Chase hasn't take it share from every tax payer, for which their reward is being handed WaMu for pennies on the dollar. Fuck the greedy banks and the fat cats that run them. Loomis is no better either.

    the other day i found a wallet full of cash. lots of 50's and 20's. i turned it in to the front desk. the owner was pleased i'm sure.

    why couldn't it have been in a dark alleyway or something with zero people around?
