Its probably a Bums stash. In DC a bum that lived under a tree died , police officers were cleaning up the area where they found the bum when they stumbled upon almost 1million in cash stashed in hefty bags. I don't trust bums. I wouldn't have posted about it. Rather than be on here I'd be at FoS or Vincents house trying to get a new toy.

how can a bum have million cash???? anyway....first thing in mind was that to turn in to the police. but then 2nd thought if that if the police will actually try to find the owner or keep it for themselves. because if the police keep it for their department, i'd rather keep it.

Hmmm I remember being asked this very hypothetical in law school and thought it would never happen.
So either you just picked up a bag that was placed there for a police sting operation and they are currently watching you
or its fate and someone wanted you to have some cash 
.
Since you are the finder you arguably have rights to it that is only weaker to the true owner.
Turning it in to authorities would be the ethical route. Usually when I find smaller amounts of money than what you found I donate it to a good cause. My $0.02

Dude! Turn the money into the police. You've already been spouting off about finding this money on this board and god knows how many others..............what do you think you are going to accomplish by asking these questions? And assuming you are not pulling our legs...........you ask why you should if the police are just going to "blow" it. Well the answer is quiet simple really. You should turn the money into the police because.................its NOT your money.

drpasteur I think the best way is to ask one of the mods to delete this thread and talk with the guys via pm or something.

This morning when I was driving out of the driveway and came to a STOP sign, I saw a duffel bag right under the sign. i stopped and came out taking a look at it. I didn't see anybody at the time. I opened the bag and found money in it. Now it's in the trunk of my car. From the look of it, it has at least hundred thousands.
What do you think I should do? keep it or turn it in to the police?
here is my thought: I'm thinking of turn this in to the police (of course its the right thing to do - to give back the rightful owner). Now will the police actually try to find whose money belongs to or will they just put it into Uncle Sam account? Because of this would be happening, I'd rather keep it than let Uncle Sam has it.

Listen my girl friend is a good church going girl, just because I always have to meet her at this one street corner each night (sometimes missing her as she out on important meetings) doesn't mean she is a *****...oh wait.

I can give you my advice but it'll cost you half.
Your predicament threads are killing me lately.
