Nothing. I've seen No Country for Old Men.

No good deed goes unpunished.

I would give it to the police, and they would never give it back, even if no one claimed it in 30 days. (>_<)

I'd take that bag of cash to Harold Ramis's house and demand the script for Ghostbuster's 3.

That, or invite JT on an Alaskan cruise. Those suckers are expensive, and my wife hates the cold.

Would you really want it? I for one wouldn't touch that money with a 1 mile stick. I wouldn't want the people who this money belongs to trying to get it back.

Pocket as much as possible and high tail it.

Or pocket as much of it as possible, then take the bag to the authorities. Finders fee 8)

Whoever stashed that money there has seen this article by now. I'd be worried for my safety if I were him.

If I found that, that close to my house, I'd probably leave it. Turn it in, you get on the news, and then you're on a hit list. Keep it, they know where they left it, and they know where you live, so you're still on a hit list. Just forget you ever saw it.

That's a really smart way of looking at the situation. And then if the original owner never comes back for it after a month or so, you can take it for yourself without fear.
