Message:: [QUOTE="Hudson James, post: 834315, member: 21760"]I can't really understand your thinking here but I will explain later. The error in judgement was here:  "the attendant said something to the effect of "did I only dump nickels", but I admittedly avoided the question by saying something about how many quarters there were." This was your opportunity to tell the truth and you passed on it for whatever reason.  The excuse that you were a modern day Robin Hood and trying to save the bank from keeping someone else's money; I really can't except.  Technically, it is the banks money. The money was in their coin machine, in their bank, on their property. It's not your responsibilty to police the coin machine and making the find doesn't give you the right to decide who it belongs to.  Found money on the street ...sure finders keepers loosers weeper. In a storefront on private property, that is not your call to make, it's the property owners. Before you arrived, people entered the bank, conducted their business and obviously left with less than they should have. What's left behind belongs to the bank who provided you with access to the coin machine. That's my interpretation. Either way, donating the money is the right thing to do.[/QUOTE]
