Question Best thing you ever found

I just found $60.00 in the parking lot. What's the most money you ever found or the best thing you ever found.

I went in our local dairy/convenience store to get a 1/2 gallon of ice cream and when I brought it up to the counter to pay for it, there was a fifty dollar bill just lying on the floor.

Best thing I ever found was a dead body when I was 11...



















seriously the best thing I ever found was a few chunks of weed at a party worth maybe 30-40 bucks.

I found £60 ($110) on the street on the day after my birthday a couple of weeks ago. Awesome or what



Five minutes down the road these two women were walking in the opposite direction, one of them was looking in her handbag and saying "i cant believe it, i put it right here". As she walked by my heart sank. I knew what i had to do. I went up to her and said "excuse me, have you lost something?" She said she'd lost some money, so i returned it...

Felt like this little fella on the right>

Re: Best thing you ever found

I found BMW keys but I figured that would stealing and car theft isn't easy to avoid...

But I did find a 14k gold wedding band that I've yet to pawn (hoping gold will go up) but a guy at a shop offered $150

In junior high I found someones wallet laying on the floor in the locker room. I didn't even open it, I just took it to the coach for him to locate the kid. Later that day I was called down to the principals office. He thanked me for being so honest and wanted the kid to thank me. Which he hardly even did. The principal even said, do you know that there was over $150 in the wallet. I said no I just saw it and turned it in. I think the principal was expecting me to get a little cash reward for the kid, and I could tell that principal was a little irritated by the fact that the kid didnt even seem greatful considering the fact I could have taken it and not said anything. But I could never and would never do that b/c its wrong.

Re: Best thing you ever found

Heres a good story. All my life I have always returned lost wallets or items to thweir owners, not expecting a reward but just that someone would do the same if it had happened to me.
So last summer when me and my dad were in Appledorn (Nederlands) my dad lost his wedding ring in the spa we were in. My cousins and I looked for a good 45 minutes then went to reoprt the lost ring at the office. Lucky enough it was returned to us after we described it and all.


That right there is a good reason for me to never ever keep something I find

Re: Best thing you ever found

Honestly, the best thing I ever found was a lost dog.

I found a husky walking by the elementary school across the street, I looked around and didn't see anybody. I walked over to him, and he seemed a little scared. I was finally able to get him and walk him back to my house, and unfortunately he didn't have a collar. I went to the local pet bathing and grooming place, and sure enough there was a lost dog ad in the window for a husky.

I drove the dog over to the address, where I was met at the door by a woman who looked like she hadn't slept in days. When she looked down at her dog, it was probably one of the few moments I've ever seen geniune goodness. It makes me tingle just thinking about it. It's probably the best thing i've ever done in my entire life. The whole family was so grateful, it was a good feeling.

Re: Best thing you ever found

one time I found a lamborghini. Then I went into the store and found a hot chick. But then some other guy came and took them both. Damn, so close.

Re: Best thing you ever found

On Tuesday morning at the bus stop, me and the nerdy looking bloke next to me watched this old Indian bloke drop $10 on the ground. We both pointed this out to the guy, who looked at us both as if we had 3 heads and got on the next bus. After 5 more minutes, the nerdy bloke smiles and points about 15 metres away and says "It's still there!".

There were about 25+ people between me and the cash - I calmly walked past them all, picked it up and got on the bus.

I have found a couple of notebook computers (different places). I was able to return both to their owners. The second guy gave me a $300 reward.
