Finders Weepers, Losers Keepers.
Lol! To quote singer Robert Plant
“Doesn’t Anybody Remember Laughter?”
I would have probably just flushed the drugs and involved no police.
Must be “A Country for Old Men”...
Me too.
The house was bought as a foreclosure.
The previous occupant was a known drug dealer.
One of the Bushes (Kennebunk is 4-5 miles from Kennebunkport...hmm....)
I left a $150 hat on the tonneau cover of my truck. Drove a few blocks in my neighborhood and realized it, retraced my route - no hat. Only possibility is that somebody found it in that 10 minute span.
It's old man Potter who owns the bank. Who let Uncle Billy have another pile of money or the car keys?
When it comes to loose cash, people will quickly zero in on it, like Seagulls swooping down for a French Fry.
I found a brand new Leatherman Wave in the road today, somebody’s weeping. I’d love to return it, I just don’t think that’s feasible.
Great story. Thanks for being a good parent.
Those skills and commitment seem to be lacking for some.
Fifteen or so years ago I found a purse with around 300 bucks in it in a woman’s purse in the lobby of my apartment building. I also found the woman’s ID…and several intimate home made “coupons” promising various “favours” from her to the bearer. I guess some sort of couple’s thing.
I handed it to the cops, they asked me to pick it up months later, unclaimed. I did. Infound the address, drove it to her and delivered. She was grateful and friendly to the point my reward wasn’t cash, but delivery on the promises of those little coupons.
He reported it and had circumstances to match. Then, presumably they found the pic. No need for serial numbers to match, I wouldn’t think.
