What would you have done?

[3chordcharlie]

Anything with a wallet I would return. If I found a $100 bill lying around with no ID, I'd keep it, anything more than that with or without ID and I'd turn it in to the police.

 

[wfbberzerker]

i can say, with a fair amount of certainty, that i would still have returned the wallet and not taken any money.

But why in the hell did that lady have $43,000 cash on her though?

The woman phoned Hepner on Thursday to inform him of a $200 reward for the two Casper College students.

I would of asked for more.

Thanks for making me lose even more belief in people.

Oh I would return the $100 bill as long as the owner knew the serial number.

id return it too

but i wouldnt be anywhere near stupid enough to have that kind of cash on me

 

[Falloutboy]

I dunno I'd prolly keep it.....but i'm a heartless bastard

 

[konakona]

my life would stay just the same without those 43grands, but that lady's may change drastically. sell your soul and ruin someone else's life just for 43 grands? i dont think so.

 

[Kibbo]

First off, I would've been too lazy to stop the car and check it out.

If I had found it some other (read: easier) way, I would like to think I would'a called the cops.

I would have been tempted, though. Meh, but paranoia would have probably gotten the better of me. Damn. I don't think I'm a good person.

 

[cliftonite]

43k is waaaaaay too much money, Id go insane thinking about what happened to the person that lost the money.

 

[rh71]

$43k is too much to keep... especially with an entire purse... I'd be compelled to return the whole thing. If it were just a random envelope with like < $100 in it, I wouldn't make much of an effort to return it.

 

[acemcmac]

I dunno.... 43k's a lot of money to spend without the IRS asking Q's.....

if you kept it, you'd have to report it to the IRS and get taxed all over for it.

I'd probably keep it reasoning that anyone who can afford to be dumb enough to loose that much money must have not really valued it that much anyway. I have a lowered opinion of myself for thinking that...

 

[jpeyton]

Damn that sucks for the kids.

it all depends on what you spend it on if you spent it on things they actually can track (paying back bills, investing, buying cars, down payments on a house...yes they could find out easily.) I would just use it as my play money for the next few years

 

[freebee]

Any cash handlers/tellers/retail people here?....You all do realize 43k is a substantial stack of bills even in 100s. How does one miss such an obvious envelope full of money?....It says its a handbag and they removed the wallet which means they should have seen it.

In any event, finders keepers, etc, etc. 43k isn't that big a deal. If the purse had a lotto ticket for $20 mil, and i returned it by accident, I'd throw myself off a building.

 

[Howard]

Now that I've read this thread, I know who (and who not to) trust my life with.

 

[LordNoob]

I imagine some of you are thinking it wasn't really that good of a deed for the kids to return it because they didn't know about the money. However, the fact that they didn't search the purse for items of value but instead turned it in to the police in the condition they found it shows quite a bit of character.

 

[Gooose]

if it was someones life savings - of course

i would never steal a purse - just having that thought of doing is sick.

 

[Coquito]

I'd replace 2k worth with quality counterfeit before returning it.

 

[mobobuff]

If it was something like 500 bucks, I may have THOUGHT about keeping it... but life savings of 43 grand? No way my conscience would let me get away with it.
