Then giving someone a hundred bucks is not good enough ? I don't get it. Could have taken out of bank for a purchase. Could have collected etc not really crazy to think 10g is sitting in a purse, but since it was and was returned its nice to see people do the right thing in those situations. Very nice to see the right thing done in returning but, yes, it is crazy as no one buys things with cash anymore. Not for that much cash. Save one thing. Super rare. Strange amount too as one dollar more gets the interest of the boys with blue and yellow jackets. Kid who found is a good kid - what that money was for, unlikely for good things.

Gurn Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I do all my purchases in cash except for satellite internet. If I had a higher income I'd be carrying more cash. Nothing nefarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire your honesty. I believe I would take the money to the local police station and hope the policeman I gave it to was honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rim Jobson Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 It's a dog eat dog world. If someone's careless enough to carry that kind of cash and then to forget it on the roof of their car, well then they probably didn't need it that much and in my opinion deserved to lose it. That all being said, I'm not a well-off man and have only myself to rely on so therefore I believe in taking your breaks where you can get them. If I was already wealthy I'd probably return the money though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first inclination would likely be to return it, but man.. ten grand would go a long way to turning things around for me. That's a decent chunk of a student loan. would the loss of 10 grand change your life any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She needs CC for work all the time so doesn't work for her but nothing wrong with all cash, we pretty much treat our CC as cash and pay it off every 2 weeks. 26 minutes ago, smithers joe said: would the loss of 10 grand change your life any? I think most people 10 grand could be a major life changer. Thats a lot of money for mortgage, investments, etc. I think I would personally return it, my conscious would eat me alive if I tried to keep it.

It's highly unusual to carry that much cash around in this day and age of electronic banking and e-transfers and such. Why on earth would somebody be carrying around 10k in a purse? And then be foolish enough to lose it! If I had that much cash I'd be guarding it with my life! All I can figure is that it was payment from a drug deal or something else that's shady. Either that or the woman who lost it was rich and going on a shopping spree; or is the wife/mistress of a rich guy and that was her allowance. Either way she couldn't have cared too much if she was absent-minded enough to forget it on the roof of her car. Finders keepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grapefruits Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I would have turned it in. Don't need that kind of negative vibe on my conscience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
