Hey! A Dollar! *grabs*

What is the largest amount of money you found that you pocketed? If it was some huge sum, did you turn it in or did you buy a bunch of DVDs or something?

Myself? Not a very exciting story, but one I feel bad about. My old apartment building has businesses on the first floor, and an insurance office on the second floor. All other units are for living in. Anyway, I found a $20 near the bottom of the stairwell years back. I thought about seeing if it was from the insurance office (though it could have come from ANYWHERE), but I ultimately took it because this was back when I wasn't making a good paycheck. I still feel pretty bad about it, though.

I've picked up coins from the floor.
If I didn't see who dropped it, I'll pocket a coin.
Nothing more than that, though.

I believe a quarter was the most I've found laying down on the street.

a quarter

This thread is making me feel like a monster so far.

Mmmhmm. You took a small amount of discarded cash on the stairs.
You are literally the WORST person. :colbert:

If it makes you feel any better, if I found a twenty laying on the floor I would take it. I would take it all :stare:

I didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose me!

I found £20 in a cash machine inside a local newsagent years ago. I handed it in as I thought it pretty likely someone would come back for it. The shop owner may have just pocketed it but I like to think most people wouldn't.

If I found money in the street though and there was no-one around... that's definitely going into my pocket.

I found eighty bucks outside my high school once. I started spending it almost immediately. No remorse.

50 bucks, or thereabouts.

I would pocket any sum that I couldn't hope to track down the owner of.

My first job was at a movie theater and you would usually find a dollar or two while cleaning after a show. The most I ever found at once was a $20 bill. I took the trout out of it. That was like 3 hours of work right there.

I think the most I found was around 20 dollars. It's the one I remember anyway. It was in the middle of a parking lot, and there was no way to really tell who it may have belonged to. The wind was already blowing it along, so who knows where it was dropped? I just counted myself lucky.

Money on the ground without other persons nearby is free game. I've found anything between $1-$20 and kept it all.

When I was in my early teens I saw a money clip fall and hit the floor in a store. I gave it back to the guy who dropped it and he said thanks and gave me $100 from the clip. There had to be thousands in that clip.

$50 blew at and hit my feet in an empty parking lot. I held onto it and looked around to see if anyone reported it lost for a few days, but no one did so I pocketed it after a bit.

If I find like $5, I'll scan around and ask someone if it's theirs. One time I found a wallet with what appeared to be over $100 (I didn't count) but luckily I was able to find the person and give it back. They were quite distraught. It didn't have an ID or anything it seemed mostly for cash and debit cards.

Never really found much. Mostly just stray dollar bills and coins. I need to go to more empty parking lots it seems.

If I find a quarter I'm taking that. Laundry money. :monster:

I found $11 in the road a few weeks ago! :D

A few years ago I found $180 in a Safeway parking lot. My first thought was to go inside and report it at the front counter, but a friend who was with me convinced me to keep it and hit a nearby Gamestop. I tried to reconcile my guilt with fantasies of drug dealers dropping this fat wad of cash, but I still feel awful about it. :shobon:

I found a hundred bucks on the floor of a department store I worked in. We locked it in the cash room for like three on the and since no one ever came looking I got to keep it.

When I lived in Phoenix, a bunch of us had gone to South Mountain to hang out for a bit and get stoned... On the way down, we saw a purse sitting on a bench on the side of the road. We went back and took it and it had like $100 in it.

Paid for our night of partying. :D
