gee ... how about taking it to the supermarket or wherever you found it and letting them know you found some money (don't need to say how much) and if anyone comes seeking it to give them your number? the person who lost it might very well need it.

it wasnt left inside the store, it was in the parking lot. The workers arent going to care being that it wasnt inside the store. It was outside premises, you get jacked, thats it. Seriously, i doubt anyone would walk inside the store and say they found money. Maybe yes a wallet, not monye, and not a stash like that. The people from store might take it themselves since is no wallet. Im either giving it to red cross or my friend he really needs to pay for his college.

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

that's why i said to tell them that you found some (not telling them the amount will mean if someone does come looking, they would have to know how much it was). are you telling me that no one else in the world would make an effort to give the person who lost it a chance to claim it? yeah right. interesting that you'd likely take a wallet into the store, but not do anything with a big wad of money. the difference it what? if you lost $2500, wouldn't you like someone to provide the store where you lost it with info on how you could claim it?

maybe it's just me ...

wow....what happened to morals....

First of all, I worked for a grocery store, anything like that which was found in the parking lot was brought into the office. In this case we would put that money into a envelope with the name and phone number of the person who found it. if after 30 days that money is given to the person who found it. Seeing how it was $2,500 someone is going to go balistic looking for that money. Sure they were careless to lose it and maybe shouldnt be allowed to carry money that they lose but wouldnt you want someone to turn that in if found? People still try to see if someone turns those things in anyways. If you do decided to donate it (which you should seeing how you found it) put it into maybe the breat cancer fund, or towards the childrens hospital, not your friend.

That is just my 2 cents. at least your thinking of using the money for something good and not selfish.

If no one claimed it after two weeks I would have no problem putting it into something responsible (cc debt, daughters college fund, etc). Chances are they came asking (or will) inside 48 hours. That's a lot of money- I'd at least try to find it's owner. Would suck if it's a drug dealer, billionaire, etc.

So are my morals questionable?

You could always donate it to me, I need to pay for college too you know...

But seriously, put yourself in that person's shoes. Say you lost $2,500, would you not go crazy looking for it? I would pray to god someone with some decent morality turned it in and I would be able to get it back... And you would do the same.

Donate it to Endangered Animals if anything, it's our fault they're dying out. Stupid humans...

sorry, i kinda took the advice before it was posted and i went to the hospital and gave it to them. I told him i wanted that money, although its only 2gs, i want them to use it on new born infants. You know when they need to be inside those clear beds cuz they cant breathe or sort. I told them i want that money to be used on those babies with the medicines they need. If the owner really needed it, those babies really really need it to. The babise get 2 extra reallys and the owner just one really.
