What would you do if you found $10,000 in the street?

You're walking along, and suddenly notice a bundle of cash in the street- you take it home and count it: it comes up as $10,000- what do you do?

I'd probably skim off half, then take the rest to a police station.

I would probably keep it for about a month - and for anybody who can prove its theirs, I like the idea of a 20% safe-keeping fee. ;)
But yeah, after a month, I'd probably just spend it slowly.; ▶ Reply to This

Well I'm not going to go into that right now, for the sake of saving me some time.

But I would keep it. Defiantly. I mean, wow, 10,000 dollars. For me. For free. Awesome.

They took the money and gave me a reciept, telling me that if no-one claimed it in so many days it would be mine. As I walked out of the bank I noticed the manager chuckling to himself. Needless to say I never heard a thing from them regarding the money.

Based on that experience I would have no hesitation in keeping the whole lot!! I only allow myself to be taken for an idiot once.; ▶ Reply to This
