I can still remember when one of my friends ask the same question as this. Of course as a person with a conscience I would rather return the money than keep it with myself. It's difficult to own someones money. I remember the news that I read entitled Chicago area man finds $150,000 in his back yard . An out-of-work carpenter in northern Illinois discovered a surprise in his yard Monday evening. He discovered a duffel bag filled with $20 bills. Law enforcement later found a second bag, for a total of $150,000. So far, no one has a clue how it got there. I love the people who have that kind of attitude.
