You find cash from an “as is” sale publicly offered? Caveat emptor has a reciprocal.... seller emptor too. The seller represents the product as sold. The seller should have at a minimum opened the safe (who wouldn’t?) before selling. That’s it.
Another big mistake is to announce to the world a “windfall” because of course this is not a blessing but needs to be shared/re-distributed. No way— the law of the mountains... or really any where else. It was a transaction that was completed as sold— keep your business to yourself. Find a gold nugget on your land/property— same thing. And praise God.
On the other hand, another example— find a brown bag with $250K cash in it— you should turn that in— because if you keep it you’ll get a visit from guido or carmine from hoboken- and not be long for it— or maybe pablito or carlito from brownsville. Not all transactions are blessed.
Caveat= Beware
Emptor=Buyer
