<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 403810, member: 112&quot;]My point is this eddie - just about every single one of us here is taught when we are raised that if we find something valuable that we do not keep it, that we are supposed to turn it in to the authorities and let them find the owner of the property.</p><p><br /></p><p>But how many people actually do that ? Yeah, we have read stories about the good citizen who finds a bag or briefcase of cash and they turn it in. And eventually the true owner shows up, claims his property and the finder is lauded as a hero.</p><p><br /></p><p>But here is the difference, if you find a $1 bill in the parking lot what do you do ? And no you don&#039;t see who dropped it. I absolutely guarantee you that 100 out of 100 people will put the bill in their pocket, count their blessings and go about their day. All of them will do the same thing with a $5 - $10 - $20, even a $100. Only their joy at their find will be magnified with the size of the bill.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah sure, a large amount of cash may often be turned in by honest folk. Why ? Because they either feel it is the right thing to do, or they are afraid that they might get caught for not turning it in when they start spending money they cannot justify a reason to have. </p><p><br /></p><p>But a small amount, and yes in today&#039;s world a $100 is a small amount - that will go into their pockets because nobody will ever be the wiser and they know that the chances of the owner ever being found are pretty much zero.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are many ways of saying it - people in glass houses shouldn&#039;t throw stones - let he who is without sin cast the first stone. I think everybody get&#039;s the idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
