Man Finds $40K in Cash Stashed at Newly Purchased Home...[views:2651][posts:24]____________________________________________ [May 20,2011 12:13pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] ...and gives it back to previous owner's family. Given today's economic circumstance's that is mindblowing and chock full of integrity. I'd like to think I would do the same but I can't say for sure. What would you have done? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110520/ap_on_fe_st/us_found_money |

I guess, legally, you're supposed to bring it to the police station and wait until it's considered abandoned property before you can take possession of it. HA! |
| ________________________________________ [May 20,2011 12:19pm - SLAAAAGG NLI ""] Gave it back. No question about it. |

| ___________________________________________ [May 20,2011 12:49pm - MillenialKingdom ""] I wish I could say I would give it back right away. I would probably call the previous owners and talk to them about it first. |

| _______________________________________ [May 20,2011 1:03pm - Alexecutioner ""] i would keep that shit. fucking STUPID previous owners have the laziness to just FORGET they left fucking $40k in their old house? im sure giving it back would be the right thing to do, but what the fuck, they must have a lot of money to throw around if they just FORGET they left 40k in their last home. fucking rich assholes. |

Not rich, stupid, or lazy. Read the story. The house was an inheritance. The previous occupants are DEAD. It was their children that sold the house. Pretty normal to miss stuff in this kind of a short sale. The father was squirreling away money for a rainy day as well, nothing to do with being "rich", quite the opposite. |
