Generally I have pretty good luck finding lost cash lying around in public when I'm out and about. $20. here, $20. there, sort of an ongoing joke with my family at just how often I come across this stuff. Well today I was doing my daily exercise at our local open space park when I found $140.00 attached to a park sign right in plain view. Not lying on the ground like it had fallen out of someone's pocket but on a sign board that someone purposely attached it too. How does this stuff happen? A hundred people must have walked right past it and never bothered to look up!
I've been watching our local online social media sites for someone that may have lost it but so far nothing. Sad part is I really don't even need the money, still hoping someone at the park posts a lost and found notice. Weird thing is just a couple of years ago I found an envelope near this same park with $1,000. in it. After posting it in our local lost and found sites I was inundated with people lying and saying it was there's but of course no one could give me more exact details about it. In the end I turned it over to the local Police Department and they held it for 90 days. No one claimed it so it was mine after those 90 days.
Anyone else get lucky like this? I thought about turning it into the police again but I don't think $140. bucks is worth the trouble unlike that other $1k I found.
