Living in NY, I don't trust the police. I think I've watched too many episodes of Law and Order. If I found a bundle of $100's on the sidewalk, yep, I'd keep it and help my kids out.

Go down to Louis Vuitton. I might take a pedicab to make it faster.

Why $5,000, why not $50,000, why not $500,000?

Turn it in to the station. If it's not claimed in 30 days (which it wouldn't be if it was in any way related to illicit sales..."I'm here to report I lost my drug money"...lol) then it is turned back over to the finder.

So, purely following the Golden Rule, I'd turn it in...and then kick myself repeatedly for a proportionate period of time related to how much money it was.

I'd keep it and not feel bad about it.

10% would, of course, go to the church.

So are you guys cynics or am I Pollyanna? It never occurred to me that the police might just keep the money for a donut upgrade.
