What would you do if you stumbled across $150,000?
Re: What would you do if you stumbled across $150,000?
i really hope this guy gets to keep the money, or at least some of it. this is a really heartbreaking story. i can't imagine the grief that guy is going through right now from his family/friends/etc. i think he did the right thing but i know i'd have a hard time giving it up.

Hookers and blow!
Actually I'd turn it in too. For all the people worried about theives coming back and getting the guy, the bag was in his back yard. If it were a theif, unless they totally forgot the entire neighborhood where they left it, they might have come back to the same house or row of houses anyway if they were going to try and exact any revenge. They probably wouldn't care if he had kept it himself or some other person had found it and walked off with it before he did.

Just sucks when you move into the other house where the guy found the bag of diamonds stashed in his shed and decided to pull the same move you did.

I really wouldn't want to turn it in, but the guilt would gnaw at me endlessly. So I would turn it in.

Right. Because you never know who would leave that kind of money... and if they'd come back for it.
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

the article said that if nobody claims the bag the finder might be able to keep it. to be honest, if nobody claimed it i don't know if i would want to keep it. who carries around duffel bags full of money besides people committing illegal acts? you bet your ass they will try to take back that bag of paper if the money is given away.
if you took a shit, please put it back
