Re: I found
After years of perfect posture, I now walk with my head down... scanning for coins. I have found many. People just drop it and it either rolls out of their sight or they just don't bother. In the last month or so I have also found paper money a few separate times.
I don't know if I think that's cool... or sad. But until I decide, I'll keep scanning while I walk. (Or until I get hit by a car.)

Re: I found
I once found a USD $50.00 on the floor of a hospital walkway. I worked there and it was late at night. It came at a time when I needed it. I'll never forget that find.

Re: I found
I've never done this before, but I think I'm going to start tracking all the loose change I find from now on.
That is, if Poundwise doesn't get to them first. |

Re: I found
Upon exiting a movie, I found a $5 bill sitting on a seat. Since our row was empty there was no one to claim it. My boyfriend and I were excited, since it paid for my movie |

Re: I found
I once found a coin purse on the back of a toliet in a Restroom of a store in a shopping center. It was Christmas time, and hundreds of dollars were in it. I figured it was someone's Christmas money and turned it in to the service desk, leaving my name and number in case it wasn't claimed. I was never called, so I assume it was claimed, but if that were me I'd be in tears. So I hope whoever lost it found their Christamas!
I did find a dollar on the bottom of a pool while playing my 'look for a pepple' game. Weird place to find a dollar.

Re: I found
When leaving the post office about a month ago I found 4 full books of first class stamps. I felt bad for the person who lost them I figure it was probably an elderly person. But, I was happy to find them. Now everytime I go to the post office I am scanning the ground.

Re: I found
Well I found a wallet in the post office too. I took it home and called the lady. Because often when you find something valuable and you turn it in, the person that lost is, never gets it back. I know that for a fact because I worked in a restaurant and things that got turned in just misteriously disappeared.
So, when I find something, I call the person and let them come and get it. This lady was happy to get her wallet back!!
I also found a credit card at the post office and I tracked the lady down and she came and picked it up. There are some honest people  |
