If you found!

What would you do if you found a black bag with $100.000 on the ground.

EDIT: Shit was supposed to be a poll thread but I messed up ;(

Raziaar · Jul 23, 2006

I'd keep the money and donate the black bag to salvation army.

The chances of finding the original owner would be slim...

Shippi · Jul 23, 2006

joule · Jul 23, 2006

Keep it. Is that so wrong?

Canadian Gunner · Jul 23, 2006

Give it to the fuzz. My lousy conscience is too big for that. It would make me feel rather badly...sigh. ;(

DietSoap · Jul 23, 2006

I guess I'd take the money and sell the bag on ebay.

Krynn72 · Jul 23, 2006

if it was 100 bucks, i might keep it

it its 100,000 bucks, i would give it to the police

Que-Ever · Jul 23, 2006

Give it to my mom. Let her figure out what to do with it.

FOOL! Now the terrorists, which the money belonged to... will kidnap your mom because she kept the money!

gick · Jul 23, 2006

I really dont know. For me it'd be a case of take it, and feel guilty, or hand it in and regret it....

I immediately regret this decision

What fools.

I'd use the hunnedthousand to ransom my mom back,because they just took her, and left the money. Because they're fools.

SimonomiS · Jul 23, 2006

Burn it.

Down with capitalism! I do not require your filthy pig dog monies!

And the little children that you could of bought food for using the money... just died of malnourishment.

:dozey:

Even if you hate money, it has its uses... so use it for a good cause if you can't think of anything better.

But... I know you're joking.

That's the best way to put it.

DannyC. · Jul 23, 2006

I'm not sure... thinking about it right now, I'd say it would seem a bit silly to go hunting for the owner or hand it in when it's just 100 bucks, and I would keep it. Though, coming across it in real life my concience might force me to go and hand it in.

Que-Ever · Jul 23, 2006

It's a hundred thousand.

Hectic Glenn · Jul 23, 2006

A small value i'd probably spend while i was out on something silly, the large value would lose a little value, but i'd hand the majority in.

DreadLord · Jul 24, 2006

Honestly? Would you be so distraught over $100? It's not even like it's a decent amount of money.. What can you do with $100? Two video games? Half a pair of jeans?

If it were $100,000.00 that would be something to get excited about.

JNightshade · Jul 24, 2006

I don't really know. I think, in the end, my conscience would get the best of me :/

Shodan · Jul 24, 2006

Buy 50,000 knives and forks to try out this idea I have.

PvtRyan · Jul 24, 2006

Keep it. There's no way a bag containing that kind of money was intended for legitimate purposes. It would be involved in some criminal thing and I doubt my conscience would rebel for f*cking up a crime.

Raeven0 · Jul 24, 2006

And this is why we should use spaces as numeral group separators. Least confusing of all.

$100,000.00 = $100.000,00 = $100 000.00

Anyway, I'd turn the money in and hope the original owner was not found.

Give it in.

PvtRyan · Jul 24, 2006

Hmm, really, I don't get why you would even try to find the original owners. Do you really think such an amount of money would be used for a legit cause? Someone went to the supermarket and just happened to missplace their bag containing one hundred thousand dollars that they would use to buy the groceries with? It's 99% sure it 'belongs' to criminals and by keeping it, you even help because you took money out of the criminal circuit.

Even if it were legit, someone that stupid to lose $100.000 deserves it.

$100,000.00 is one thing.. $100 isn't even worth making a fuss about.

Because if you were caught using the money that was obtained through criminal acts you could be prosecuted.

CyberPitz · Jul 24, 2006

Keep the 100 grand. Teach them not to lose that much money again, right?

You have the most fantastic sense of empathy.

Jesus wept, just because $100 doesn't mean much to you doesn't mean that everyone else feels the same way. $100 dollars for me would mean about 4 weeks worth of food...if I had dropped it by accident I'd be quite upset about it and would hope to god that someone handed it in.

evil^milk · Jul 24, 2006

I would make a thread on hl2.net and ask what to do with it. Maybe make a poll or two.

I don't pretend to have a fantastic sense of empathy. You seem surprised. Tbh, $100 wouldn't phase me. That's great if it does you, post about it. I'm just saying.. Most hypothetical situations are a little more exciting than finding 100 big ones (I now realize he meant $100,000.00). That's dinner and a movie. Whoopty friggen do.

CrazyHarij · Jul 24, 2006

i'd waste it in a second on old synths, that kind of money and the ability to buy that stuff would just be too tempting

Canadian Gunner · Jul 24, 2006

Now that I think about it, who carries around $100000?

*shrug*

It's not like I would walk into the cardealer and open up my nice black bag containing 100k and buy a car with cash.

Angry Lawyer · Jul 24, 2006

The police/other government body would notice how you've suddenly got $100,000 richer, and they'd send some guys to "talk" to you about why you didn't turn it in. They'd consider it stolen, you know.

Well that's a great attitude you have. I hope you appreciate your seemingly affluent lifestyle.

That's why you spend it in very small amounts during extended periods of time.
Either that, or to keep the neighbours at bay, try weeping over the new sports car shouting "Why did I buy this?! I Can't afford it!!

"

Easy :E.

Me though? In a perfect world where it was used for drug trafficing etc. I'd probably keep it and keep my computer updated for the rest of my life \o/.

Unfortunately drug barons would notice 100 grand missing. If they caught up with you, you could probably kiss your kneecaps goodbye.

Tr0n · Jul 24, 2006

Keep it.

It's god damn $100,000. I can build me a house with that or get me to MIT or something.

Garfield_ · Jul 24, 2006

Was hoping to make a poll but this works just as well, I'd personally keep it to myself ;>
