Default Who gets the fortune found in house walls?

A contractor finds $2.7 million in the walls of a house he is renovating... and he wants it all. Is it his to keep?

That's ridiculous. Anything found in the home belongs to the homeowner.

LOL! Funny

I might give the contractor a raise, but whoever owns the house keeps the money. (But if he tried this to my house, I sure wouldn't even think about that, though.
