If you found a bag with $1million cash... ...WHAT would you do with it?
- hand it to the police? - bury it in your backyard? - put it under your mattress and spend it slowly? - move to Mexico/Morroco/Madagascar and leave everything behind?

As for me...
...I would pack my bags and move somewhere warm/tropical and find a relatively stress-free job doing something I love...buy a modest little house on the beach, learn to surf maybe, open up a bar/pub perhaps...
No Ferraris, no fancy jewelry, no extravagant anything...$1million won't last you THAT long (which is why I'd still need to keep working)...but I would at least book a kick-ass vacation somewhere.

An amount of money that large would absolutely belong to somebody, so I would turn it in - and hope there's a reward.
That'd be a friggin' ginormous bag, though. Hard to imagine somebody wouldn't miss it. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Drive myself crazy cause I'd want to do all the above and then wonder if I'd be tracked down by the mob. | |

Even in $100 bills?

Yeah...you'd have to take into account the possibility of gangsters coming after you...which is why I'd head far, far away... By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

Finding such a sum of money can be an extremely dangerous thing.
However, I'd probably be in for a bit of fun, so I'd take a quick look around (covering my face though) and then walk away and start running at the next corner (still hiding my face).
I'd bring a couple of thousands to my bank and keep the rest at home, taking 500€ to the bank each month.
I wouldn't buy anything special. I'd probably invest in my music and travelling. | |

So you would go the the police then.
I dunno - if I hung around like Dave1992 I would probably live my life constantly looking over my shoulder.
If I was selling painted sand dollars () on a beach somewhere, keeping a low profile, I wouldn't worry so much.
Still-&-all, I suppose I'd need a safety deposit box somewhere with the key in the hands of my lawyer so that if I ever wind up as flotsam... By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

Ex-Moderator | Turn it in. It’s not mine.
If I lost that kinda money, I’d darn sure want it back.
Sometimes you get to keep it if it’s not claimed in a certain amount of time. I suppose local laws vary. |

A million dollars would be 10,000 $100 bills.
So, like I said - friggin' ginormous bag. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Yeah. Turn it in and have a bunch of crooked cops stuff their pockets with it. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

Jupiter wouldn't be far enough and it wouldn't be a whole lot fun for spending money. I could sure use it though, it would be tempting even just to dab a little and turn the rest in. | |

Depends on where I found it. If I was somewhere where there wa nobody around, like in a field or something, I'd take it and hold on to it for a while to see if anyone comes looking for me/it. If I found it somewhere where it could be easily identified or traceable, I'd turn it in and hope to get some type of reward. | |

Not that big. If it's new bills you can fit it in a large brief case. Weighs about 22 lbs. | |

see. Great minds think alike. | |

Honestly, it would depend on whether or not I could figure out where it came from. But I'd probably do the turn it in and hope for a reward thing, too. | |

Depends on the source of the loot. If it was some old ladie's life savings I'd def turn it back over 2 her/him. If it was some multi-national company they would NEVER see that loot again. If it was some crook who would add me 2 it's hit list, they would get in back anonymously. [Edited 1/23/12 11:45am] | |

I wouldnt turn it in... Wouldnt trust them... I would put out an ad saying I found an undisclosed amount of money and the person needs to describe the bag it came in b4 I turned it over to them...
Then, after a month or so, I would consider it mine..
I would give a huge chunk to each of my kids and my mom... Then my husband and I could travel till our hearts content! ~~~~~ Oh that voice...incredible....there should be a musical instrument called George Michael... ~~~~~ | |

Two things...
The money could be traceable once you start spending it or if it's turned over to a bank for safe keeping.
In this day and age its likely that somebody would try to find you and do bad things in order to take the money if you placed that add. Even if you didn't include an amount. People suck. | |

It's no problem, I'm used to looking over my shoulder (at the round ass that just passed me, whether a nice pair of boobs is following me, to smile at the lady walking behind me from time to time etc.)! | |
