Unless it was stone cold obvious where the money came from, I don’t think I would have turned it in. I just can’t see myself handing $65k over to the government.
I would have a very difficult time giving found money to the government. If I found that much I think I’d hang on to it myself and conduct my own search for the rightful owner by simply keeping my eyes pealed for stories about someone bag of money being missing.

I counted about six replies that said they would not have turned in the money. It bothers me that a Freeper would do that! Can’t they just think of it this way - you don’t want something that doesn’t belong to you. Regardless of who knows that you did the right thing. You do the right thing for your own conscience, not for recognition.
Supposedly, the money fell off an armored car (how that happened must be a good story). That would mean the "government" as you put it would simply be acting as an intermediary and will I assume be turning the money back over to its rightful owner.
That said and with all due offense, your lack of moral fiber is what is wrong with this country today. If this woman had kept the money, it would have been theft, nothing more and nothing less. And if I were you, I wouldn't be so open about your felonious proclivities. It reflects not only poorly on you, but on the family that raised you and the few friends who support you.
Have a nice day!
Just got your email. Thanks for that mature response. Oh, and you misspelled a#$hole.
You are right I did judge you. That’s the problem with living in this new and improved PC world, people don’t judge enough. They have been told this is impolitic. They are afraid and remain silent. They close their eyes and their hearts to the corruption of the culture and by so doing the offer their tacit approval.
Fifty years ago, your remarks would have drawn gasps and howls of disappointment. Sadly, today they are shugged off with a grin. I am sure you are a good person, but may I suggest you examine what you write before you post.
That said, if you wish to comment or call others names, be a man and do so in public. You betray your immaturity by doing so out of view of the community.
Have a nice day!
