  1. 1. What would you do if you found 3 x $100 notes on the road near your kids primary school?

    • Keep it and sleep easy knowing you had a win (which doesn't happen everyday)
      15
    • Hand it in to the local police station and hope it magically makes it's way back to it's rightful owner
      15
    • Hand it in to the school office and hope it magically makes it's way back to it's rightful owner
      6
    • Share the experience in detail with the school principal, keep the money and sit tight for a week and wait if anyone goes to the office in the hope there is still honesty in the world

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.

    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 :P

    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 :cool:

    ...........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 :mellow:

    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 :cool:

    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

    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 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 :cool:

    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 :cool:

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
