That depends on your definition of "found." I once found $60 I didn't know I had in my pants pocket. But the largest amount I found that wasn't already mine was probably a $20 bill. I don't really remember.

A quarter.

A $100 bill. Two days before Christmas this past year. It was sitting on the ground beneath my car in a lot. There wasn't a soul around other than myself and my daughter. I sat in the car for a minute then looked up and said "thanks Ma" and drove off with it.

One Christmas Eve, my family was walking to church and various members of the group gathered up about a hundred dollars that had been dropped on the sidewalk. We had no way of finding who had lost the money and felt very sorry for the last minute Christmas shopper.

Couldn't have been much. I don't remember the amount. I would have remembered if it was a lot.

Melodi, 19

Tracy, 24

Funnily enough I found a wallet containing £200 in a restaurant today. And no, I didn't steal it.

Aly, 17

$20.

I found a fifty dollar bill once whenI I was about ten years old. I thought I had won the lottery!

In a store parking lot under a basket was a man's briefcase. He had been taking Easter pictures all day. It was full of cash, checks and charge slips. I took it to the courtesy booth and gave it to them. To this day, about twenty years later, I wonder if they returned it. I wish I had looked for his info inside and called him. At least I should have turned it into the

I found a wallet laying in a gutter in Lawrence, KS outside of a liquor store. Inside the wallet were
several credit cards and about $200 in cash. Also in the wallet was an ID from the local hospital. I
called the hospital, got ahold of the guy and returned the wallet. I got a "thank you" but no reward. Oh well, no biggie. Wasn't my money to begin with.

I found a $50 once, but my mother took it from me and most likely bought something like clothes or food for us with it. Where's the toys?

Stephanie, 27

I found ten bucks but didn't pick it up. (It was left atop a pay phone and my friend Michelle did pick it up.)
