If you found a bag with $500, 000 in it would u keep it?

knowing that it was stolen from a bank and if you spend it they can trace the serial number on the notes and eventually track you down????

I would keep the bag, empty out the money and then turn in all the money to a local police station.

I would be ahead of it all, cause i got a free bag, wooooooooh oooooooooooooooooo,,, finders weepers

well definately i would return it and collect price money

I seriously doubt a bank can track down the serial numbers of American currency since over 3 billion bills are in current circulation, so YES... I would definitely keep it and pay off my student loans.

I had an answer in my mind as soon as i read the briefed question that i will not for the money does not belong to me.
after reading the whole details my answer remain the same but please tell me how one would come to know it was stolen cash.
Did u ever think that how bulky would be the bag in which $500,000 were poured? even if i spend in tit bit who the heel is going to care note number? did u any time checked the number printed on dollar 100 note?

No, it seems very pointless to have it and not spend it.

no...

i dont want to be in prison...

If it could be traced, that's easy. Turn it in or go to jail. Where is the dilemma there? The more difficult question is whether or not a person would turn it in or keep it knowing that nobody would find out. In that case, I would turn it in, hoping no one would show up to claim it. That has happened in the past when someone found a significant amount of money and turned it in. Eventually they got it free and clear.

for example, here is a quote from the City of West Lafayette, Indiana:

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST LAFAYETTE that:

(A) Found Money.

West Lafayette Police Officers shall log into evidence, per the Department's Standard Operating Procedure, any money found by officers or turned into any Department personnel by citizens other than West Lafayette police officers. Such found money shall be held in the Department's money safe for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of the found money or until the found money is claimed by the true owner, whichever is earlier.

Upon the expiration of sixty (60) days and if the found money is not claimed by its true owner, the found money shall, be given to the citizen, if any, who turned the money over to the police department. Money that is found by West Lafayette Police Department officers or that is not returned to the citizen finder upon the expiration of the sixty (60) day period shall be turned over to the City of West Lafayette Clerk-Treasurer for deposit into the Police Unclaimed Property Fund.

no..it better to return it to the police..

nah... i would hand it in 2 the cops cause you would get a reward

Don't you mean $400,000?

na i wouldnt i hand it in and claim a reward

I WOULD RETURN THE MONEY TO THE BANK

Whats the point? Your sooner or later going to get busted... and all that stuff you bought with the money is going to be taken away from you... so you'll have a "money high" for a few days but then you will be locked up in a cemet cell for years trying to cover your ***!!!
