Poll: You find 40 thousand dollars ?

[Your Rival]

Is 40k really a backpack of money? I'm fairly sure that fits in an envelope.

I guess its in one dollar bills.


Hell no I'm not returning it, I'm deep in debt because of university costs. Even if I wasn't I'm sure I'd think of something to do with the money. I really doubt 90% of people who voted to return it are being truthful.

I currently cant afford to keep a roof over my head.

I'd take 1,000 and hide the rest in a secure location, if anyone approached me, I'd reveal that location, and explain why I took the 1k, I think even a mob lord would appreciate having his 39,000 secure, with just 1k missing.

I'd be able to feed me and my girlfriends for a while, that's what matters.

EDIT: Also, I would have the 39,000 converted into some obscure eastern European currency, before hiding it, for teh luls.

30 years ago, my mother moved 100,000$ in a backpack my grand mother lend it to her so she could buy us a house. If you find 40k laying around, yeah, it could be drug money... or it could be the money of an old person trying to do some good... think about it

 

[Rock 'n' Soul]

Being recently unemployed, I'd settle my debts and pay the next 6 months of my rent. I could blow through 40k in drug money pretty fast/easy. Realistically? Who knows what I'd do........

 

[A Raging Emo]

I'd keep it and spend it all on Games Workshop products, it just seems like the right thing to do in this situation.

Yeah! For a whole forty grand you could buy like 12 Empire Handgunners!

 

[Saulkar]

I would return it and hope that it proves to be a worthwhile investment in the end.

 

[spartan231490]

I would probably keep it if I thought I'd get away with it. So, if I found it somewhere where I thought there would be security cameras I would return it, otherwise keep it.

 

[Mersadeon]

I would give it back. Who knows where it comes from, and what it was made with? 40k probably weren't dropped by some rich manager. That's probably not clean money. No thanks.

 

[Jamieson 90]

I'd be tempted to take it, but no one carries that much cash around with them unless they're doing something seriously illegal, so the chances of it being drug money or some other such related crime, are very high. Do I want to turn in drug money to the police? No because then that might make the criminals angry, and who's to say the police would believe me? Hell they might even think I'm a suspect and that I want to confess or something, and I'm sure as hell not going to take it as that could get me killed. So seriously I'd probably just high tale it out of there and forget I ever saw it. Now if I knew I could take it without any repercussions what so ever? Yeah I'd take it....

 

[Someone Depressing]

I don't want to be the target of some junkey from Essex, thanks.

Give it to the police. I don't know where it came from, why it was there, or why it's got powdery ketchup on it.

Edit: Realistically speaking, and knowing me, I'd trip over the backpack, break an arm, someone would walk by, kick my body, take the money, then get shot by a drug lord going to pick it up only a few meters away.

 

[shootthebandit]

if you have to choose to hand the cash in or keep it..........what colour would your BMW 7 series be?

 

[Hero of Lime]

I would try to return it in whatever way I could. If that didn't work, I would probably take it to a police station. $40000 dollars chilling in a back pack will more than likely belong to someone with drug affiliation. The last thing I want is a drug dealer gunning for me because I got a little greedy.

 

[Souplex]

I'd give it to the police, and if nobody claims it within a certain period of time it's legally mine.
If I do get to keep it, I live off of it for the next three years.
Captcha: Start for only $1

 

[fezgod]

Honestly, if there's no form of identification or anyway for me to find the original owner of the money, I'd probably just take it. But if the backpack was, say, left in front of my house or on top of my car or something I would turn it over the police.

 

[FoolKiller]

I would do the right thing and put it towards my student loan.

 

[lSHaDoW-FoXl]

I don't quite buy that a lot of people 'wouldn't keep the money' when a lot of people can't even stop contributing to the slaughter of millions upon millions of animals just because they taste good or because they look good. Or how about we talk about those children working in some sweatshop for pennies just so we can have a bunch of useless junk. Would I return it? Honestly, I believe it would depend on if the person deserved to even have such money.

 

[Mikejames]

An amount that high warrants taking to the police.

Different debate entirely my friend.

 

[Battenberg]

I've been living in a tent in the garden of my parents house in a city I find soul-suckingly dull trying to find any work I can here or, ideally, elsewhere. I'd snap that cash up so I could rent a place in a new city and not have to worry about money for a while as I carry on looking for work. I'd be careful about spending it and avoid putting too much into a bank account and only using it for untrackable, barring rent and utilities, purchases (mostly essentials like food, maybe driving lessons, definitely gaming stuff).

I'd probably feel bad until I got a 40' TV with surround sound and a PS4.
