Hey! A Dollar! *grabs*

[Sephex]

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.

[Pike]

a quarter

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

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.

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

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

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.

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

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

[Mirage]

50 bucks, or thereabouts.

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

[I Took the Red Pill]

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.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

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.

[Shorty]

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

[FFNut]

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.

[Freya]

$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.
