Some people are Pigs

OK fellas....Here is a question for you > What would you do if you were mowing the right of way in front of your house and came upon a tightly wrapped package , let's say about 2 ft. X 2ft by 1 ft. deep and tied with a string and you opened it and there were stacks and stacks of banded $100.00 bills...A package that size could easily contain over $1,000,000.00 ...What would you do..? Let's say there was no name or other identifying marks on the package or any of the bills and the package was laying there covered up by the tall grass ? You here about this once in awhile..I have often wondered how many crooks or drug dealers accidentally or on purpose ditch their loot ..What would you do ? LOL

I suppose the first thing I would do is research the laws in to see how the "finders keepers" thing works in my state. Then I would probably contact the state police, turn it in, and get a receipt for it.
You never know, you could end up getting it free and clear, without having to look over your shoulder for the rest of your life.
Worst case is that it is stolen bank loot, even then you may get a reward. Crooks aren't likely to go to the local state police post and try and claim a lost million bucks.

First thing I 'd do before I even opened the package is call a bomb squad. I 'd rather be a live poor man than a rich dead one.

I kinda think I might throw it in my special trash pile and let it sit for a few months.....since that is what you are supposed to do if you find litter on your right of way -

What an intresting thread. I learned how bad people could be while I was in college. I worked at a rental car company at the airport. Generally speaking the out of area renters that flew in were pretty clean. Usually nothing more than some newspaper or coffee cups. The local renters were generally pigs. Half eaten food thrown on the floor and stepped on, diapers, used hygene products and all manner of filth were frequently left behind.

not only are people pigs.. they are theaves too!!!

Drove my truck to the beach... had a fairly new reese 2in drop 2in ball mount without a lock in the hitch...

And it lasted until last night....

TOTALLY forgot about it...

They took it and left 2 beach chairs, 2 lounge chairs and the 4 toyota tie downs in the bed....

no biggie-- $30 at most any store.. but ya know how sad!:confused2:
