Today, I took an irregular route home from work today due to traffic and construction. The roads were busy, and while driving my attention was suddenly caught by what appeared to be colorful shreds of paper. But those papers weren't shredded pieces of colorful paper. Somewhat long story short, I turned around, jumped out of my car and collected as many bills as I could see that were partly on the road and still on the grass. I was able to find an envelope that had cheques and some other bills in it as well. The envelope had a name but no address and the cheques also had names. I piled all the bills into a box I had in my trunk and then I called the police. I waited for a while, outside of my car near the road and after a few minutes a copper came by to help investigate. I turned the money over and went on my way after we'd found another few stray bills and added them to the pile. Not including the cheques which I didn't bother counting, there was close to $7000.00 in cash. I've always wondered what I'd do if I found a large sum of money lying around... Whether or not I'd be tempted to keep it, or if I'd have the good conscience to turn it in. And while I always said and knew I would do the right thing, you never really know until you're put in the situation. Now I know. It was painful... but at least now I know. So, what about you guys? Any similar stories?
