Me, I'd do nothing.

You don't need $18,000 to do nothin, man. Look at my cousin; he's broke, don't do ****!

I really don't see how $18,000 is going would make any difference in the longer term scheme of things. Keeping the money wouldn't even be a down payment to compensate me for the damage it would do to my conscience.

But, karma can come back to bite you. Last winter I was making a delivery at the Caseys in Polk City when I spotted what looked to be a 10.00 bill lying on the ground. I saw who had dropped it, and was going to give it back to them, but upon close inspection noticed that it was indeed a 100.00 bill. I quickly pocketed it, smiling at my good fortune the rest of the day.

It snowed that night and into the next morning, and while on my way to work I hit a slick spot on 235 and smacked head first into the retaining wall.

I definitely wouldn't be able to keep the money if I saw someone actually drop it. I would feel terrible!

Right, and I would have if it was a 10. But she dropped a Benjamin. A few weeks later, I found 40 bucks sitting in an ATM.

A person with common sense would realize that $18,000 just isn't that much money in the overall scheme of things. $18,000 certainly isn't worth being a cheat.

But 18,000 dollars would pay off my truck, my last credit card, remodel my bathroom, and replace the last window that needs it on the house.

Imagine the paranoia that would come from smoking the 4 lbs with $18,000 of drug money stashed in your closet.

I would freak out and hide in the trash can in a cold sweat until morning. Then turn it in.

So let me get this straight. You think taking $10 from someone is wrong, but taking $100 is ok???

Yep, sounds like a Hawk fan to me...

**RotatingColumn** · 03-12-2009, 01:12 PM

Actually on second thought... I would do the right thing and run a classified in lost and found.

I dunno, I returned $160 extra dollars that an ATM gave me last summer... but $18,000 is a bit more.

My biggest beef with returning the $160 was the way the staff at the bank handled it when I returned it. If I had been inquiring about money that the ATM owed me, I would have had to write/sign an affident. But for returning money... nope, nothing.

I called before i went in... when I show up and tell the teller why I'm there the manager was like, "Get the money!" before anything else was even said. No "Thanks for returning this, can we have the money please?"

I mean come on I am going out of my freak'n way over my lunch hour to return it, and you tell the teller to get the money like I might walk out with it?????

Then as the teller and manager are sitting there looking at the money as I was leaving, the teller said "Man, I'd have kept it"

I was a bit ****** leaving there... again not because I just parted with money I could have used, but because of the way I was treated when I returned it

**Clonefan32** · 03-12-2009, 01:15 PM

Its actually quite simple...I would take the 18,000 to the casino and over time turn it into 18,000,000...then I would pay Brackins to come back to school for 2 more years.

No, I said I'd have given her back her 10-spot. She dropped a benjamin, so tough **** for her. Besides, I got my comeuppance the next morning, so everything evened out. She lost 100.00, I had to file an insurance claim.

**scyclonekid** · 03-12-2009, 04:57 PM

How do you know where it came from? Maybe it was drug money? It would be tuff to not turn it in because I could really use 18 grand right now. My integrity would probably get the better of me.
