    is it bad that when ever i do the electrical in a reno.. and im in their basement pulling wires or something.. or getting to the panel.. and there i see... a jar full of pennies.. they look un touched and definitly unsearched, and i feel the urge to pour them out and look through them.. i havnt.... because it would be stealing... right...
    maybe i should offer to buy the jar one time.
    this happens ALL the time

    It is not bad that you have the urge lol. You should offer to buy it one time, worst they can say is NO.

    As noted the worst thing that could happen is for someone to say no. However, if they sold it to you, WOW. Worth a try.

    LMAO, only a coin collector would ever pull a grab and dash for a jar of one cent coins. The rest of the world dosent even see them as money.

    When I used to do electrical work I ran across situations like that also. Real tempting to look at the coins, but the owner wouldn't appreciate it I'm sure.:smile

    Very tempting, and possibly a good thing to do.

    Especially if those genuises plan to use the coins as a fuse!
