Finding money

I randomly found a gatorade container in a public place filled with change. It was 4am and nobody was around. Since I need some cash, i immediately went to coinstar, and it turned out to be about $45.
Should I have turned it in or something? Should I feel bad for taking it?

Anyone remember that show with that "finders keepers" in it. Had an obstacle course contestants ran thorough and had to rip Nintendo games off the walls? Some of them had big prizes. There was a cartoon with a monster truck and a tomato in it too. Think it was called "Fried Green Tomatoes".

if life puts rewards and favor in front of you, dont turn a blind eye to it. once you start to see this, you can spot money earier, or rather, it will find you.
i always find money, not lke jars of change everytime, but in some form or oppurtunity. i got a free sandwich at the deli today. they stamped the label on it at the deli but the machine priced it as $.01. i said, thank you for lunch computer glitch. it said *beep*

what a stupid ass for leaving it there, I found a wallet once, it had 5 bucks in it, it took it out and threw the wallet close to where I found it..it was close to the liquor store, I was buying a fifth of vodka anyway. I got a fifth for free.. Hey it was only 3 weeks ago too, I am not gonna turn in the wallet, I would be accused for stealing the 5 bucks, I am a bad guy so what? I lost my wallet once, it had only 3 bucks in it, I didn't care I was happy to have all the cards still there.

thats shady as fuck. I mean.. finding random change is one thing.. find a wallet is another. At least turn it in after your cheap ass takes 5 bucks from it.

i mean, i was a cart getter for a grocery store. when you're dealing with idiots getting in and out of their cars, and throwing random recipts on the ground (from which their change was also wadded up into) you're bound to find money eventually. sometimes i felt bad, because once i foudn 27$ in one hit. i was flat broke, but i still felt horrible. it was either keep it or turn it in to my management.. and you know they would have pocketed it. the only reason i felt bad was because in my mind i was like.. what if this is some broke college kid's last 27? then i realized.. if i was down to my last 27, i would not drop it on the ground.
consequently, this was how i successfully got drunk off of beer my first time. found a 24case of natty lite someone left under a cart. by chance, it they had parked next to my truck. so, in my truck that cheap beer went.

I say that the fact that you posted a poll asking the question shows that a part of you knows the right thing to do.
I'm not saying that you should "turn it in"... but,
there is a principal in this universe...no loss-no gain. To gain you must lose. If you don't want to lose, you will be forced to lose.

similar to the concept that matter is nor created or destroyed.. so while americans are becoming fatter.. somewhere else.. people are starving
is there is shift in the amount of weight in the universe? maybe? who knows.. thats kinda wierd.. im too drunk to actually think about that
althou i dont think so.. because population growth would have to be accounted for

Finders keepers...
It was probably some homeless persons that got drunk and lost it, or something of the sort. Nice find, but coinstar is a fucking rip off!

My mom was railing on me, asking me to turn it in or something, so I wondered.. What would the shroomery do? I would keep it no matter what, I just wanted to know.
