Would you return the money?

 

[Kantarii]

What Democrat doesn’t love free money? It was hilarious seeing people stop their cars in traffic and get out to pick the shit up $175,000 worth

We had an incident like this locally about 25-30 years ago. There was one guy who got a lot of publicity for returning a huge sum, but I'm pretty sure he was the only one.


I think people are more likely to keep the money if the victim is a faceless company than if it's a person you can identify (say, if you found a wallet).

There has been at least two instances in the last year like what happened on
I-285.

Makes you wonder if the security guards aren’t staging it and why there aren’t safeguards on the vehicle to prevent it from moving if the back door isn’t secure. But, hey, when it’s someone else’s money, who cares, right?

I find money, it's mine. Everything from a penny to a truck full of cash. Leave it laying there, I'm gonna pick it up.

 

[someoneyouknow]

Of course. It's not my money. Is there even a question?

If people picking it up can be identified...there are criminal charges.

 

[Kantarii]

Anyone that stopped to pick up the money had no intention of returning every dollar they found
It’s free money. They can say it’s stealing all they want and against the law, but once money falls out an armored truck, it’s no different than trash blowing on the side of the road. No one’s name is on the shit.


The real question is: why was there unsecured money in the back of an armored truck? It’s kept in bags. Think about it. What dumbass would put loose money in an armored truck, then not secure the door unless it wasn’t a cover up for an inside heist?

I would. I once found a bag with $5,000 in it sitting on the gumball machines where I used to work. The person who owned it was taking the money to the bank and stopped in my store, apparently to buy a gumball. I couldn't believe it! This was a business owner. Luckily they realized by the time they got to the bank that they didn't have the bag and retraced their steps. But really...to walk around with that much money? Stupid!

 

[adrina]

Yup. Not even worth it.

i have found money before, and returned it... in one instance turned it into the local police station (i was about 14), and another time it was in a purse in a handbag, along with a phone that an unknown customer had accidentally left behind. i was manager in the store and called the bank whose debit card the person had in their purse since there wasn't an address and got someone there to let the person know i had their bank cards. about an hour later, the customer called their own phone from their house phone and i spoke with them... they came back to the shop and collected their belongings. very happy to see the property and over 2 thousand pounds returned to their owner, especially since the money was a part of wedding funds!

Of course. It's not my money. Is there even a question?

Exactly!

Cause it's not mine, If I can return it I would...and have.

 

[Boxlicker101]

To an individual, I would definitely return the person's money. To a bank or other business, it might depend on my experiences with them. I have been shafted by a few places, and I would be sorely tempted to get back at them.

Some years ago my wife lost her handbag on the subway in Tokyo, cash, cards, phone the lot. An 8 year old schoolgirl picked it up, handed it in to her teacher who in turn handed it on to the local policeman. (You find Japanese policemen on street corners in little booths all over the city.) He rang my wife to say it had been found and at the end of his shift called at our hotel and gave it to her.

She was so impressed that she contacted the girls school and called in the next day to say thank you. The response was very Japanese. They preferred that she thank the whole class because, firstly the particular girl might be embarassed to be singled out, and secondly, it would show how the youngster had honoured both her classmates and herself by enhancing their reputation.

It's no wonder that Japan is the most law abiding nation on the planet. They teach 'em social responsibilities when they are very young.

I wouldn't stop to join a frenzy of people picking up loose money. If I had found a bag with 175K in it, I would turn it over to the Lost and Found office of the local police station and count the number of days until the law would allow me to claim it.

I wouldn’t risk my life running around on a busy interstate to pick up a fraction of $175,000 of loose money. I already have more money than I can spend in my lifetime anyway.
