Have you ever found money....just sitting there?
 

I was on my way home from work today and I was pleased to find $20 on the sidewalk. SCORE. Which begs the question have you ever found money?


On a related note I have held $2475 in my hands. God it was beautiful. Too bad I spent it all on the same thing.............

My brother and father once found f35,- (€15) in a ditch.

What did you spend that much money on?

I once found 20TL on the ground (roughly 20$) and I gave it to my mother (I was 8 years old, I didn't know what money was! :p), who was sitting with family friends. The friends told me to give it to the hotel manager, so whoever lost it could get it back. Stupidest thing I'd done, giving it to my mom.

I found $30 on the sidewalk once. It was pretty awesome. I used it to buy my girlfriend an even better Valentines Day present.

I held a $10,000 check once. Dad got it for his Grandpa (My great grandpa) who was in assisted living. Biggest check I've held so far. Not alot compared to what others have held but eh :p

I think the most I've found too is $20. Been awhile though.

I used to find money lying on the floor or in seats all the time when I worked at a movie theatre.

In the beginning, I always gave it to one of the assistant managers because I was told they held onto it until someone called saying they lost their money. And then if no one claimed it they put in this donation boxes where the tickets were sold. Cause when people bought tickets you always has to ask if they wanted to make a donation to (blank) organization.

The sad truth is though, they just pocketed it as soon as it was turned over to them.

One time though, I picked up $180 folded up in one the seats. Next day I bought two new pairs of shoes and two hoodies.

But usually I just found $5, $10, or $20's. And I would use it to buy dinner on my break. Or use it for gas money.

$180 and you kept it without question??? :unsure:

Tuition, half of it anyways. But yeah 24 $100 dollar bills. :(

Re: Have you ever found money....just sitting there?
 

I usually just find change, but I've found few dollar bills and fives over the years. Nothing too crazy though.

TBH, I used to find money a lot. My dad always noticed that and would just chuckle when I found some. My greatest find was $100 in the parking lot once... If only I found money as much these days so I could buy more games! :D

No never. Fuck you all with your quick reflexes and bird-like eyes.

I saved up like $1,000 to put towards a computer 4 or 5 years ago, before I got a checking account. I used to slap my friends with it when they came over.

But alas, I have not simply found any money...

Re: Have you ever found money....just sitting there?
 

I've found a 50 once in a ditch behind a convenience store, and a few 20's here and there.

If it's just rolled up money with no wallet or ID connecting it to anyone, it's impossible to find the original owner, especially if the managers are just keeping turn ins anyway.

I find money in people's wallets all the time.
