As soon as you tell me the exact serial numbers on the bills I will then be convinced it is your money I found. [^][^][:D]

If I found cash I wouldn't need an appraisal to tell me how much its worth.

The wife and I were walking into a Walmart and found a money bag in a cart left in the parking lot. The bag was stuffed with 50's and 100's along with a business tax lic..We drove across town and returned the bag to the business and got a very curt "thank you" for our troubles. We didn't expect a reward...but a smile and a polite "thanks" would have been nice..You just never know..

Grunt, I've been there. Last time I found money it was in a wallet, about fifty bucks, kids driver license and personal junk in it. I went to lots of trouble to find his phone number(his dad's actually), drove twenty miles to return it, and the damn kid accused me of keeping half of it.

I told him I had a spot for him to kiss, but I still know I did the right thing, and I'd do it again. Any thanks I get will be from myself, for being honest.

I found a purse once at a county fair. I looked through it to find the owner. Her number was on a membership card to a video store......This was 20 years ago! There was a checkbook, I looked. $15.00+-, 2 empty baby bottles, and around $8.00 in cash. I didn't look to hard....I called her up. she and her husband met me at a nearby gas station with two cute little kids in a beat up old wreck of a car. They came from an hour or so away. They tried to give me about twenty dollars as a reward. She said "her life was in that purse" As I recall, a five and a bunch of crinkled up singles. They thanked me and apologized for offering such a small reward. I accepted the money and gave it back to them under the condition, they put it their childrens savings account. I wonder how those people are doing...........

My son lost his wallet when he was around ten years old. Some lady called us and said she had found the wallet. I would call her and tell her when I would pick the wallet up, she would agree on the time , but was never there when we went to pick up the wallet. I did this for about a month before I gave up.

I found a billfold with $80 cash. It belonged to a soldier on leave. We could not find him but his leave papers were in the billfold. I called his base commander and got the address. The phone company allowed the long distance call for free. Then the post office gave free postage to mail the billfold to the base commander. The amazing thing was, this was 25 years ago, prior to the "support the troops".

i will always try to return a wallet or purse if there is an address in it. but i think the previous post said something about a bag of money in the woods with no id., well its mine!!!!!!!![}:)][}:)]
