Late last week I posted a story about a guy that found a large bag of money that fell off an armored car:

http://www.tehfalloutshelter.com/showthread.php?70506-Utah-Man-Praised-For-Returning-Bag-Full-Of-Money-That-Fell-From-Armored-Truck

The dude in the story returned the money, according to him, without even thinking about doing anything else.

Personally, I dunno if I could have made the same decision. Sure, it's easy to say after the fact that he never considered keeping the money, but is he being honest? I'm being honest with myself when I say I probably would have had to think about it. A ginormous bag of untraceable money just sitting there on the highway? If there was nobody else around and you came upon that, could you honestly say that you wouldn't have thought about keeping it? I sure would have had those thoughts...

It would be a tough battle. I think a lot would depend on the circumstances. If you kept it and got caught I'm sure it would be serious charges.
Are there any cameras or witnesses?

Nope, it's on a stretch of road that has no traffic on it at the time and there are no houses or buildings visible nearby.

Oh, boy. Very tempting. I think the "finders keepers" rule might apply here. :lol:

Exactly, I find it hard to believe when someone makes the claim that they never even thought about keeping it, I was going to turn it in from the second I saw it.

:agreed: I am not sure I would have turned it in either. He had to have thought about it.

I may have put a hole in the bag and returned some of it

He said he could barely lift it...I'm still sure that played into the decision as time was probably a factor :lol:

I would have the same worry. Even if there were no witnesses I would always think (like daily...) if the bank or the government/police would ever catch up with me. Would make it hard to relax and enjoy the cash :-k

You'd have to be so careful with transactions...as in, never depositing anything over and above your normal levels and never purchasing any large ticket items with cash.

The money is insured, I would have a hard time giving it back

Here in Australia, it's illegal to keep something like that.

Just a couple of days ago, it rained $100 notes in Perth.....

Would have returned it without a doubt. Not even tempted to keep it. I didn't earn it and no one gave it to me. With my luck, if I even tried to keep it, it would end up buying me in the ass anyway.

How much does buying you in the ass cost? Will you take a check?

Welcome back, gorgeous!

My friend found 5k USD in London in a bag and the serial numbers on the bills were in numerical succession. Think he spent it on cocaine and prostitutes.
