It's pretty obvious what I would do. Another alternative is to donate it to a charity for people who tend to lose things easily. Here's a good one:

Hey, I lost 3 x $100 near a primary school. Tell me the name of the school and I'll confirm if it's right.

Take it cops and tell the school since the person who lost it is likely to ask there first and may not go to the cops. That way no one at the school can steal it, an no cop will dare steal it either since you'll tell them you told the school.

But in all probability the person who lost it is a crim or a tax dodger.  $100 notes are largely in their hands. So they may not go to the cops and you'll get it later on.

They are actually mine. Please send me a private message.

Evidently you shouldn't ask people on demonland what to do with it.

What happens if the person who lost it knows roughly where they dropped it. There's CCTV cameras in the area which capture old man KrazyJay putting it in his pocket and walking away. KrazyJay's kids go to the school and he's recognised on the CCTV footage. Parents will talk and his kids will have to leave the school. They'll grow up hating their Dad and may become criminals themselves. 

 

Just saying....

 

Lol come on!

1. How are they going to know exactly when and where they dropped it?

2. Which cop shop in the WORLD is going to waste time chasing up some pleb's $100 that they lost?

Again, you've made it a legality issue, not a moral one. Seems your choice is dictated by the potential albeit slim possibility of you being canned in public for picking up a random $100 bill

OK.... Thanks for all the responses...

My wife really wants to just keep the money but I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that some poor family at our kid's school may not be eating dinner this week 

...........Actually, let's be honest... I'm the dodgy ba$tard that wants to keep the cash but my wife is an amazingly honest woman and will not allow that to happen....

So she is off to the cop shop tomorrow 

I am slightly disturbed by this as we have watched Underbelly together before!

What about option 5: Donate it. No guilt for you and no worries about honesty from others.

 

And it's tax deductable! Everybody wins... except of course the money's rightful owner who should have some say on where it ends up. What if it was a forgetful pensioner's livelihood?

Give it into the local cop shop. If the owner doesn't prove it belongs to them (which is almost impossibleto do) within a given time frame, it will become property of the finder, who can then donate it if they wish.

The charge for keeping a reasonable amount of money is larceny I believe

Here endith the lesson.

BTW, this is not stalking stuie

 

Ethan's post #21 and Chook's #26 have both reaffirmed my deepest love for this forum!

And this whole thread has given my wife a disturbing insight into where I hang out during the "me" time in my life 

Could be a good life learning opportunity for the kid/s.

Or...... You could donate it to the next Jesse Hogan contract. May get us over the line Krazy.

This is probably the single biggest factor in MY allowing it to be handed in as young Will is well aware of what his Mother found on the ground...

And as for Jesse, on current form I may even get change 

With the Dees at 501 to 1 for the Flag, I'd bet the lot and use the $150,000 to pay for my grandkids to have a damm good education. Put it back into the Education System I say!

If you give it to the police, they will announce that an amount of money has been found. That amount,according to them,will be $50. They will trouser the rest and you will have foregone a $300 windfall. Use a bit of common sense man, keep it. And..........marital tip no. 28............ If you ever have any amount of cash money, never tell your wife. Honesty may be the best policy, but not every single time!!!!!

The wife and I are having a moral dilemma...

I realise this is not football related but I need as much exposure before the mods rightfully shift it to the General Discussion section 

Post this on a non football thread or at least head it so we know what your talking about. This isn't an agony column any more

You sure a Krazy Jay....

If I found money on the road near my kids primary school I'd not be as worried about the money as I would be the kids I never knew about.

It was probably dropped by a drug trafficer so if you kept it, it would be "proceeds of crime "!

I think you should buy 2 MFC Memberships with it......

 

Not really

I initially said I am happy for it to be moved to a "non football thread"

Thanks for your input though.... If I knew it fell out of your pocket I would have spent it already 

 

Spend it on strippers.

I made it a football topic with my first reply. Out of the goodness of my heart, and to protect you, Mr Jay, from the savages of this board. 

 

If you need a good home for one of those hundies...

OK, thread can be moved/closed/deleted...

It has served it's purpose.... Thanks to all who have contributed....

The $300 that my wife found just after picking the young Demon up from school will be taken to the local cop shop tomorrow.... 

The kids will be present during this exchange to encourage them to always "Do the right thing"

Clearly I would've just gone to the pub and loaded up the Sportsbet account but alas.... Times have changed 

 

 

seek advice from my learned peers on demonland........oh.....wait...
