Thieves! This will only encourage others to never turn in money found.
I found some money last year at a mall.
It was a wad of cash, and I thought some kid dropped his birthday or Christmas gift.
I turned it in to lost and found.
“They” looked at me like I was insane for reporting finding it.
Nobody claimed it as lost, so I was given the cash thirty days later.
What really shocked me was the number of people who not only thought I was an idiot for reporting a wad of cash to the mall lost and found office, but those same people who were parents, told me they wouldn’t direct their children to report to the Mall that they had lost money.
The wad of cash I found was just a few dollars shy of two hundred dollars.
If it had been two thousand dollars, I would still have turned it in to lost and found.
If I thought the police would keep the money...I don’t think I would have turned it in.
Government theft-—Nothing more, nothing less.
