Would you have returned it....

I dunno... Im sure if i was in the moment, i would ponder keeping the bag, but would likely return it. But after reading the story. Hell no.
Couple Points.
- A car salesmen accidentally leaves a bag in front of a store, from a recent "Sale" of a car.... Not likely, (anyone thinking Fargo, or drug deal) Who buys a $18,000 car with cash, and lets someone carry it in a duffel bag around the city.
- The car salesman gives them each $250 for returning a bag with $18000 in it! Prick, if it wasnt for them the money would likely be gone forever.

I call foul play here. That money was to pay off someone.

1. The salesman is lying and is up something foul (I hope he is investigated).
2. The sisters deserve a reward much more than $500 combined.
3. Saying what I would do in that situation is tough, I honestly don't know. I know what the "right" answer is, but $18k is a lot of money. I would probably take it home and sit on it for a few days and see if anything is made public regarding the situation.

Agree on all points. Its difficult to say what you would do in that situation knowing what happened already with the salesguy.

I really should have done a test to this site. Like first create a thread saying, "You have found $18000, would you, keep it, or try to return it" And gauge peoples opinions. then create another thread giving the details and see what the poll shows.

I'd take it, 18k in CASH, no doubt about it,

[TkrPerformance]

there is no way it was for a car. you would never give that in cash. there would be a ton of red flags going up if you were the sales guy. Hell when I bought my spyder I was told not to bring 22k in cash to pay for it and just wrote a check and transferd the money to the checking account.

I would take the 18k and also sit on it for a while to see if anything came up. but I would really dont think it would have

Don't be so quick to judge. Many people from other countries purchase only with cash. I sold a Volvo XC90 to two gentlemen who brought $16,000 in cash for it, and it was all different bill denominations, stacked on the desk it was almost a foot tall. We took it directly to the bank and they verified it was good clean funds. That vehicle was on a boat for Russia the next week.

LOL interesting that deal actually panned out, usually when you hear of these out of country sales its a scam.

Yep, an Iraqi friend of mine that lives here in St. Cloud pays for everything in cash. He came here with like 40k in his suitcase haha

[A//// Guy]

Id be sippin a stoli seven right now on my new boat if I found that bag.

[tehehodi]

Hookers and blow

[C3L1CA]

I think I would probably have of tried to figure out who it belonged to, but probably wouldn't be 18k in the bag when I gave it back

[goodhart]

haha I really don't know.

[TheBlizzard]

I would more than likely give it back, in situations like that I try to put myself in the other persons shoes when I make decisions. Sure the natural reaction is to keep it, but if you were the person who lost 18k and you were running around frantically wondering where it went you would be delighted if you got it back.

On the other hand if you are dumb enough to carry around that much money and lose it, you deserve to not get it back. And a $250 reward....he should have gave them a grand to split up.

[GG_9_SE]

I paid 27k in cash for my evo when i went to pick it up. The guy i bought it from straight up asked me if i was a drug dealer/drug runner though since i was so young.

18k in cash idk though. i agree with sitting on it and waiting for something to go public first.

Bamm One years worth of Tuition Payed Of In A Heart Beat. I Think The right thing would be to turn it into the police station. The problem with that is its cash money . . . how would the person taking over the case or responsibility of finding the owner not stash a bit for himself. Claiming thats all he received?
