i would have it offshore in about 20 min

[opie1988]

no doubt id return it

props to the guy for giving it back to the rightful owners. What a great example for his children.

These 2 sharps sum up my feelings exactly.

The new homeowner knew the old man who lived there was a widower with several kids. There wasn't any doubt this money was being saved for his children.

Anyone who kept this money after knowing this is a worthless prikk.

[MarlinsFan2212]

I would have kept around 35k of it and go around giving 10k of it to charity and random people.

[POTVINSUX]

It's all about karma. As much as I'd hate to say it I'd give it back.

[mw00]

The guy tha found the money is moron

i agree..

lol makes you think though right..if he was saving for his kids and i'm assuming he was an older gentleman, why none of the kids knew about it. hell my mom is young but she's told me all her accounts and financial situation just in case anything ever happens.

[face]

i would buy guns for the children

The key word in here is the death of the previous owner? The ghost lead them to the stash, and threatened them to give it back or else he rape them at night!

POTM contest is offically over!! Fukkin' Quang has ran away with this bitch.

Bravo, Quanger!! Bravo!!

[jjgold]

I would keep it if house was abandoned
Not going to steal anything though

[beach nut]

No question I would keep it. If the money was important to the previous owner they shouldn't have left it.

[bettilimbroke999]

Most of you guys would keep money you fould in an open drawer at Kroger much less hidding in a crawlspace in your own attic.

Hello, um who is this

This is Joe I bought your dad's old house last year

Hey Joe hows it going whats up

Well...I've got some very good news for you, I found some money your father left you before he passed away into the great beyond to sit at Jesus side

Really wow I never knew he had any money saved up

Yup congratulations I've got 200 dollars here with your name on it but can you pick it up today I leave for Vegas tomorrow morning

[bettilimbroke999]

No one can verify how much money was in the hatch. For all we know there could've been 100k and he kept 55k and then said I found 45k. I wouldn't be surprised if he skimmed some from the stash and kept some

Brilliant post, this guy probably found 145k and returned 45k

[Jordan23]

I am pretty sure I'd keep the money. There's a lot I could do with 45k.. pay off my car and ************ and put the rest in the bank!

[marcoloco]

makes me feel like scum cuz i think i would of kept it

[bettilimbroke999]

So daddy only had 45k up there

Yup, I looked all around up there but 45k is all I found

Thank you sir, you dont usually find honesty like that in the world nowadays

No problem, I'm a father too and I know he would've wanted you to have that money

(Back at the house)

[jim777]

I'll tell you that without a doubt that if I found $45,000 in cash I would have kept every last dollar for myself and not felt one bit bad about it.

I'm just that kind of guy, I would NEVER have even thought about giving it away. Sorry, my dad never raised me to be an idiot. He raised me to have common sense and do what is best for me and mine.

I would have spent the $45K on my kids or my wife or the house or ANYTHING my family needed. Giving the money away is just 100% STUPID. You know it and I know it.

I remember seeing this story on the news and on yahoo recently and I was like... You've GOT to be kidding me right? The guy actually gave the money away?? WHAT??? Good Lord what an idiot.

I don't think returning the money was admirable at all, I think it was just pure stupidity to return it. It's a good example of being TOO NICE and being a SUCKER.

All the talk about God and Karma... Who's to say God didn't want the guy who found the $$$ to have it and spend the money on his family? Perhaps the universe GAVE him the $$$ and what did he do? He GAVE it away to someone else!!! God was probably angry with the guy because here he presents a GIFT to you and instead of thanking God for the gift of $45,000 he gives it away!!

The real point is... Obviously the previous owner who saved or hid all that cash didn't tell ANY of his kids or relatives about it... Now what does that say about his relationships with them? Do you really think the dead owner wanted his family to have it if he never told them about it?

Something was very fishy about this whole story but I can assure you without a doubt I would have KEPT EVERY DOLLAR and not felt one bit bad about it. No thinking about it or debating at all, I would have kept it all and felt GREAT about finding it!!!

[aggieshawn]

I would take all SBR posters to Costa Rica with it...

[Pippertime]

wow, nice to know people can still think about others

[yisman]

"If you found 45k in a house you just brought"

If I were you, I'd use that potential money to pay for an education.

[DblDeuce]

Mo money Mo problems - Notorious B.I.G.

[tatommack]

i would have keep the money ive been ripped off so many times by crooked people so id hit vegas

[LarrysKid]

I would without a doubt keep that money. If it was meant for his kids then it should have been in his will or he should have told them about it so they could take it before the house sold.

[unusialsusp5]

only a total idiot or a religious freak nut would give it back...he probably bought the house and wasn't told the truth about the problems with it. so the seller stole from the buyer in a sense...

[legendmatt34]

Let it all ride!
