QUOTE ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A county garbage operations employee found a plastic bag on the road stuffed with $65,000 Thursday — and immediately turned it in to authorities. It turned out the money had fallen off a Loomis armored car half an hour before Debbie Cole found it near the Pinellas County solid waste operations facility where she works. First she thought it was a turtle in the road. The 53-year-old Largo woman found the bag just before 7 a.m., full of enough $50 and $100 bills to pay her salary for two years. She immediately contacted a supervisor, who called deputies. It's not clear how the bag fell from the truck, said Mark Clark, spokesman for Loomis, a Houston-based cash-handling company. Cole's boss, Bob Hauser, said he can't give her a raise or a bonus for her good deed because she's a government employee. But maybe, he said, he can arrange some extra time off. Cole, who grew up in Long Island, said she was raised to be honest. She said she raised her four daughters the same way. Did she think for just a minute about keeping the money? "Everyone keeps asking me that," Cole said. "To be honest, no. It didn't even cross my mind." time to watch a few peeps on here talk about their integrity & honesty  I'd have kept it, for the simple fact that loomis sure didn't seem to want it. |

WTF? There's some dumb ass people out there in the world, of course you should keep it.
I'd keep it and convert it all into gold to use for when the economy crashes and Dollars are worthless. |

how do you explain a sudden extra $65,000 in your bank account? At that sum, probably better off turning it in.

I'da turned it in simply because I have crapass luck when it comes to committing crimes.
always wear my seatbelt and drive the limit. yet the one time I have to speed to get somewhere not only is my seatbelt off, but my registration is expired too. had I kept that dough, there would be brian williams and his crack undercover dateline team rolling out my kitchen and shit... |

why was the money in a plastic bag instead of the normal burlap sack with a gigantic dollar sign printed on the side?

If it came from an armored car it was probably from a bank. Since it was under under $100k it would have been federally insured, meaning I wouldn't turn it in.
