I wouldn't call the police because I can't be confident they'd put it to good use. I'd donate all of it... to single mothers... at Night Trips.

I prolly wouldnt call them.. If someone is that careless with 5 figures of cash, then appearantly they didnt need it that much..

I'd prolly give half to assorted charities (just to keep my karma in check), payoff all my bills and buy me some land with the rest..

Down in South Louisiana, it was not uncommon to hear of people finding bales of marijuana washed up on the beach, seldom did you read about it in the paper..

Well, considering the fact that the Gubment identifies cash as "Bearer Paper" I might consider securing the unsecured paper! Never thought that Uniform Commercial Code would help me! :Heya:

my own answer is no i sure would'nt call police i would of stopped and pick up as much as i could and then if someone claimed it and i feel liked it belonged to them then i would return it.what will happen if nobody claims it? cops get to keep it why are they any better then me as far as keeping the money for themself, i am sure i will get some flak for my thoughts l

Not true here. If someone finds valuables and turns them over we will hold on to them for 90 days. If no one has claimed them within that time frame, the party who found the item(s) can pick them up.

Several years ago a guy found a wallet with a bunch of cash. Nothing else in it but the cash. Turned it over to the PD, no one claimed it, and he picked it back up. Maybe your jurisdiction is different...?

The one thing I know for certain is that it's not mine.

Therefore I don't keep it.

That's the answer right there.

I see more folks are practicing "conditional honesty".

It isn't yours, you don't keep it, don't try to justify dishonesty by thinking it belonged to a "drug dealer".....

soooooooo what? Give it to someone else to be dishonest with? I thought it was stated up there that the police kept it? I always knew it to be turn it in, wait, reclaim, but hell if someone else is just going to take off with it.... Forget about it.

Collect it up, be honest. If someone is looking for it, by all means return it to them, it's theirs. I wasn't justifying anything. I was making the point that if nobody came forward over that kind of cash, something is fishy. I don't a have even a twinge of heartburn watching a BG lose his proceeds to me! Well that is as long as it wasn't a bank robbery!
