I just found $100 in a parking lot
Edited on Wed Mar-30-05 05:04 PM by matcom
at a strip mall i stopped by on my way home from work. got out of the car and there it was on the ground a crisp $100 bill.

looked around, nobody within sight.

6 stores in the mall. went to each of them and asked if anyone had reported any $$ missing. nope. nobody.

i go there frequently and told each cashier that i would be back tomorrow to inquire again and that if anyone does report it missing, to have them specify the $ amount and if it matches, they could come back in the evening for it (after tomorrow its mine)

nice spring day, birds chirping, sun shining, me (probably) $100 richer

:bounce:

4. Congrats!
It's not like you can really find the owner. Everyone will claim to be the owner.

If it was a clearly identifiable wallet, with $1,000 in it - that would be one thing.

But I think it is yours - congrats and enjoy!

6. Hey, that's great.
The most I've ever found was a $20 after an outdoor concert.

8. You are a very honest man
I know some people would have just pocketed it without inquiring.

14. Well, yeah, you do have to do that.
But you're buying the drinks anyway, because you FEEL rich for a while, right?

18. Now I have to call every 6 store strip mall between your work and
your home to inquire about my missing money.

Damn - it is going to be a long night!

:toast:

19. Good on you for checking with the stores
You're lucky! I only find pennies (and the occasional dime). I did find 40 cents yesterday on a chair! :woohoo:

20. Would you believe I lost a $100 bill
At a strip mall somewhere in the Boston area, and didn't realize it until I got back to Florida?:evilgrin:

Didn't think you would.
