You're out walking the dog one morning and cut through the local park to go and buy a newspaper as you do most mornings. It's early, dark and cold and the park is empty save for you and your dog who has disappeared into the bushes and something in there has attracted the beasts attention. You go in after him to find a sports bag, in it is twenty grand.
What would you do with it? Leave it, take it, hand it in, give it to charity?
More importantly, why do you think your choice is the correct one?
Twenty grand.

Re: Twenty grand.
Pocket it, no second thoughts
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Barring any identifying information as to whom it belongs, that would pay off my credit card and auto loan nicely.

Spend it all on booze, drugs and loose women.
Justification: It is almost certainly criminal money and that is how the criminals would have wanted it spent. Who am I to disrupt the natural order of things?

Re: Twenty grand.
This is perhaps inspired by a story in the news today. A couple found 21 grand, gave it to the police and when it wasn't claimed they were given it back.
They have decided to spend it on improving the local park.
You yobs you!

Re: Twenty grand.
I'd keep it and chalk it up to fortunate happenstance.
A more interesting problem would be finding a million or more in brand new sequentially numbered $100 bills. Put even one of them in a bank, ATM, or pay cash with one at a store with security cameras, and the owner will find you. What to do?

Re: Twenty grand.
Give it to the Scientologists.
.......Or
Keep it. I'd use it to pay for my Education and a tour a little around Europe in the Summer
Depending of course on where they appear to have come from.
Sequential number money is probably baited, as is seemingly freshly printed money. So my spending would depend on that.

Re: Twenty grand.
Take it, swap the money for cut up newspaper or something, replace it and set up a spycam/Gopro to see what happens about it - I'd be too intrigued not to.

Re: Twenty grand.
I'd pocket it and go back to school for a while.
Either that, or I'd open up a small café with quality coffee. affordable snacks and an exquisite cheese platter.

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

In the circumstance you set up, keeping it is the correct choice because turning it in is paramount to handing it over to someone else equally "undeserving" of it, probably the policemen themselves. It's a bit of fortunate luck coming your way, don't fuck it up.
More difficult - It's in a ladies handbag with her identification in her wallet. She lives in a huge mansion.
