Question Woman Finds $100K and returns it....

This woman finds almost 100 grand in a lost purse, in the bathroom, and ends up returning it. I'm sure it was probably drug money or something, because seriously....who carries around THAT much money publicly for anything other than drugs? The woman who lost it, isnt buying a car or a house, because normal people with that much money would just write a check or something.

No way in hell I would give it back. I would hold on to it and deposit little by little into my bank acct with my paycheck. Then I would buy a house or a car or something.

I would keep it and just sit on it as a cushion for buying things without much of a record, such as meals, etc. Nothing big just day to day expenses for a person having fun. At the same time I would be able to save a lot more of my regular income.

I would try to return it. It's not like I'm not tempted to keep it for off the record purchases, It's just that 100k is too much money to hide if someone's looking for it, and not enough to hide yourself, if someone's looking for you.

If it was a big check, or in big bills....I would most likely return it. But the fact that its more than likely drug money....I dont know. I think the drug dealers of the world could do without 100K that they lost. tongue.gif

Yeah same with me, I sat and tried to think of a single legitimate reason someone would have $100k in a purse and I couldn't.

I would keep it without a doubt. And even if I was asked if I saw a purse or something I would deny it.
