<p>[QUOTE="Otis2u, post: 3334309, member: 100666"]I’m always keeping my eyes toward the ground or floors of business for possible lost or dropped coins/currency. Never kept a tally but I’m guessing in change alone within the past 40 + years it’s well over $200.00 Anyway just last Fall I was in our local Walmart Store, it was around 11:20 PM</p><p>and hardly anyone in the store as for customers, maybe 20 individuals I’m guessing?</p><p>As I walking toward the Sporting Good isle I looked across toward a isle to my right. I immediately recognized laying on the floor about half way down what I felt sure was U S Currency!</p><p>I turned toward the bill(s) laying folded on the floor and after looking back and forth for (anyone) and seeing no one, I proceeded to count the bills. In my hands were (7) twenty’s and (1) ten.</p><p>Yep, $150.00 cash greenbacks!!!</p><p>I certainly didn’t feel right keeping the money, thinking it must belong to someone shopping in the store at the time. So I took the cash to the Customer Service Counter and turned it over to them, first after being told I could claim the Money if the rightful owner didn’t. They took my name etc. and informed me someone from the security department would contact me in two weeks or sooner. </p><p>Well you’ve probably guessed it by now I’m sure? I waited three weeks and went back to the store and spoke with the Manager. I inquired if the money had been claimed and if so when? He gave me this big blank stare and said he knew nothing about this and never had?</p><p>I had stupidly not asked for or received a receipt of the found cash and it simply disappeared?</p><p>Go figure huh[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
