Story: Long ago, we played morning basketball after our midnight shift....everyone was exhausted...the ball rolls a long way away and no one wants to get it. Our floor guy decides he may as well, and what's right next to the ball? $100 dolla bill ya'll....damn my laziness!!!

The park was known for drug dealers, so we figured it must have fallen out during one of those late-nite shady deals.

I think I found $20 bucks once...no luck.

How 'bout u?

i'll always say the best president in my

lifetime was nixon, in '74 i found $13,000

in a motel room in vaginia. and i know

it was his fault

I think I was waiting for my mom in a casino in Atlantic City, and looked down and there was $15. on the floor.

Found $20 laying somewhere and kept it. No one was around or available to chase down to ask if they had dropped it so...finder's keepers.

25 cents.

Found a £10 note once. Well it actually wasn't me, it was my friend. We got change for £5 each though.

Does that count?

20.00 dollars in a parking lot... And this was back in the 80's so it was a BIG score!!

$200.00 on the floor at a Costco. It was the first time I had ever gone there.

I reported to the store manager that I found an undisclosed amount of money and gave my number in case anyone reported losing a wad of cash.

No one did.

What did you spend it on?

The most I ever found was $20 on a sidewalk. It was at night and no one else was around and just laying on the sidewalk so I picked it up and kept it.

The most I ever "found" (in quotation marks because I don't know an official word to describe the situation) is when I was at a Chinese restaurant and paid for my meal. The cashier gave me a $50 bill back instead of a $5 bill. I immediately noticed it but didn't say anything and went home. It worried me all night and I drove back up there and they were closed. I had it in my pocket all day the next day at work and couldn't stop thinking about it. I wanted to keep it so bad and it was the mere reason that I wanted to keep it that worried me. I kept saying to myself that I would take it back after work but that wouldn't be for another several hours and I was scared that I would change my mind before then and keep it. I finally came up with a solution. I called the restaurant from my job and asked the cashier if his register had come up $50 short the night before and he said it had. I told him that he had given it to me by mistake and that I had it and would return it when I got off work. That way, I couldn't change my mind later and had to return it. I do know right from wrong but I do have my temptations.

a plane ticket, a car, and a pound of weed

My Mother owned a dry cleaners, and as a teen I worked there after school. It's a must to check all the pockets and I would find money and all kinds of things. But the most cash was a money clipped stack that I returned. Hundreds, but I didn't count it.

$100.00 on the ground at the will call window at a Prince concert no less!!!!

Probably around $20 - and most likely in my own pocket. I like to hide money in my clothes so I can find it later. It's like sending the future me a present.

My mother does that.

I think the largest bill I've found is $20.00 but I've come across a dollar here and there over the years. One time a guy didn't know money was falling out of his pocket as he was walking down the street, aboutl $160.00 give or take but I caught up to him and returned it.

About $45.00 in an amusement park.

Real story..

I grew up in the projects in Brooklyn and my Mother came home from work and saw that somebody left boxes in the stairwell so of course she came inside and told me to go take the boxes out of the stairwell and put them outside and i was pissed because those boxes didn't belong to us and she said do as i say go take the boxes down. so i stomped out of the apartment and when i saw the boxes i kicked them out of anger and 16 100 dollar bills went flying everywhere... I just told my mother about my find only recently ( this happened 20 yrs ago)

Who doesn't miss $1600?? or leaves it in a box on the stairs? Tell me you didn't shake out every box like "fuck, there's gotta be more!"

My wife and I found a wallet at the theatre once....it had quite a few uncashed payroll checks and some blank personal checks along with some money....we found his contact information inside and gave it back.

Back in 93 I went into Whsmith to buy Prince The Hits/TheB-Sides and found thirty quid on the floor, i done that stomp on, pic up, put in pocket and get the fuck out of there thing...all in one move

Went over to Wollies and bought it there... on cassette
