A few days ago a young waitress from Johnny Rockets restaurant called the police because someone stole about $500.00 from her apron when she was in the restroom. You may want to contact either the restaurant or the Sumter County Police Department.

My son-in-law found $70,000 in cash in a bank money bag. He contemplated keeping it, but in the end, did the right thing and called the bank. They gave him a $1,000 reward.

If in found it in a business or similar place I'd turn it in. If I'm out walking and it's on a trail or sidewalk I deposit it.

I've got tomorrow's question:

If you found a gold doubloon would you look for the Spaniard who lost it or would you go in search of the whole treasure chest?

If I found it on the street/sidewalk/parking lot I might hang around for a half hour and if no one comes by looking for their lost bag of money, I'd take it home and set it aside for 30 days. If I don't read anything in the paper, or here, or anywhere else about someone losing their bag of money, it'd be mine to keep.

If I found it outside a bank and the alarms are going off and the police are approaching, I'd wave my hands up in the air and tell them that I found the loot, right here.
Leave the money and take the bag!!’

Watch who you give the money to. You might turn it over to a police officer and then it is up to them to make sure that the money is held until somebody would claim it. I found a $20 bill in a restaurant once while on vacation. I went to the front desk and said I found some money and if somebody says they lost it here is there phone number. Never told them the amount because they could call and get the $20 how would I know. If somebody came in and said they lost money I asked them to ask the person how much? If they said $20 then I told them to give them my number and call me and I would return it.

I would think the person that lost it would Report it. The person that found it, it depends on how honest you are you would turn it in. But anyone that would stick any amount of money in a brown paper probably won’t do do that again. They probably deserve to loose it.

If no one claimed it through the proper channels, (whatever that is?) I'd save it for just before Christmas and pay off a pile of layaways anonymously at Walmart.

Paying it forward feels good.
