$5,000 donut Tlak about sweet luck:
Krispy Kreme Patron Snags $5K With SnackManager Left Money In Box As Security MeasurePosted: 6:31 pm EDT August 9, 2010Updated: 6:33 am EDT August 10, 2010 FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. -- A customer at a North Carolina Krispy Kreme got something even sweeter than a dozen hot glazed doughnuts: $5,000 in cash.
Police say a clerk at the store in Fayetteville accidentally handed over a box of doughnuts that also contained the store's cash receipts on Friday. | |

Luck? The money belongs to Krispy Kreme, not the customer.
If the customer keeps it, the customer is a thief. | |

That would not stand up in a court of law. This was handed 2 the customer freely. U are right, I would have given the $ back, but he/she was not obligated 2 do so. Possession is 9/10ths of the law.
Did the customer steal the money? | |

No, but it was a mistake. Mistakes happen.
I'm pretty sure the customer would not win in a court of law. Based on my experience in a couple similar instances involving car titles that were improperly released by a car dealer, the other side has to show that there was no way they could have known the mistake was, in fact, a mistake.
I can't figure out any scenario in which the customer could believably say, "I thought they were giving me the $5,000 on purpose". | |

If they find the customer.

I'd totally do it if the box came with 5K in cash, though.
