What would you do if you found a big bag full of $100's ($24,000 total) in a movie theater? I'd like to think I would return it immediately, but I don't really know.

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y. (AP) — A woman who lost $24,000 in cash at a movie theater says she was stunned when the teenager who found the wad returned it.

Not only did the guy return the cash, he also refused any kind of reward for returning it. ?!!?

It depends on the situation... If I was walking behind Bill Gates and he dropped his wallet with $24,000 in it, you can beat I wouldn't be trying to return it. Just as I wouldn't return the wad of cash if it fell out of someones pocket as they got in their Maybach.

What would I do with the cash? 10k would go into the stock market, and the other 14k I would invest in websites or something similar. Purchase a quality site making $700 a month at 20 months profit and optimize and improve it, then sit on it while I work on more projects. Or use it all for arbitrage. I really wouldn't blow the money, I can live off a dollar for a month.

I would've returned it. I agree with Chris, it would have to be lost from someone like Bill Gates in order for me to hardly feel guilt... but I say that, so who knows.

But I'd use the money to pay off bills. Yeah... wouldn't have any left! lol
