Yeah but you can be sure that the owner will call up the cinema and ask if they found his money.

And cool, you called your cat Midna?

If someone called and asked about the money, the management would've asked us if we had found any. They never asked. If they did, I would've returned it.

But like I said, if I had just turned it in if no one had asked about it, one of the managers would've taken it.

At that point, I don't really feel bad about taking it. I suppose I could've donated it to a charity or given it to a credible homeless person who wouldn't spend it on alcohol or drugs.

But I was young and naive. And buying things makes me feel better about myself.

Yeah, and we just got her this past Friday, she's 10 weeks old.

It was actually my girlfriend's idea to name her Midna. She's been wanting a kitten named that ever since she played Twilight Princess a few months ago.

And she kind of acts like Midna anyway, so it suits her.

I found a folded up business check lying in the mud for $26,000 once. I almost didn't pick it up because it looked like just a piece of trash. For some reason though I picked it up and almost pissed my pants when I saw what it was. I called up the guy on the check and he when he came to pick it up, he was on the verge of being hysterical because it had been lost for almost a day. He was so thankful that I had returned it to him. Right then and there he pulled out his wallet and gave me 5 hundred dollar bills. I totally didn't want to take it, but he pretty much forced me to.

So yeah, that was a great surprise. Went and bought some new running shoes and the rest went into my new computer fund.

Most I have ever found was like 10 or 20.



A friend of mine at work once found 1800(or something like that) in a jacket.

A few weeks ago I was playing Disc Golf in a nearby town called Eureka, and I was walking from one hole to another, and I happened to glance down, and lying there in the grass in the middle of a field was a 20 dollar bill.

I've found several singles, 5s, and a couple of 10s and 20s. Apparently, of all my friends, I have a knack for finding money on the ground. I take it. Never without a doubt.

If I found like 20,000 in a bag or something....I would probably turn it in to the police. I wouldn't want to end up in someone's truck or 6 feet under in the middle of the forest.

I found a dollar in wal-mart once. It was kind of exciting.

...I'll probably end up on some hidden camera special about how greedy people are, but oh well...
