extendor Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 No need to think about it. Give the money back or hand it to the police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 3 pages of posts and no one has said: What the f"ck was 21k in cash doing in a bag in the first place?! Possible less honest theory: - The bag was being carried by dodgy people - taxi driver new this or perhaps at least thought; hang on 21k in cash, i'd be in sh!t if i kept this. - taxi driver hunts down and gives back to avoid reprcussions Umm, maybe if this wasn't made public the above might have been. Depends who made it public. More likly story: - taxi driver saw back and decided to return it - taxi driver gives bag back then only then finds out that it has 21k in it because he never bothered looking inside himself - taxi driver.... echoing homer simpson DOH! that can be heard from that martian flying saucer in space!!

AndrewOW Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 You are such a nerd Maybe, but he is a policeman after all! It was an elderly couple, and a good deal of money, so really he did do the decent thing and return it, as that could've been their life savings etc. I wonder if he would've been quite so honest for a few hundred? Good on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 This reminds me of the Blackie "take it back" Thread That was great I'd have handed it back.

NeoFuture Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 i would have returned 80% of it and kept 20% as a finders fee, better than nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safely Insured Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I would have taken the money!! I once found £40 in a phone box in a train station. Unfortunately I was with my mother who marched me straight to British transport police to hand it in.. 6 weeks later I had a letter saying that no one had claimed the £40 and I was able to pick it up from my local tran station.. went to pick it up and the jolly nice chaps had taxed it by £4!!!! So I got back £36 and vowed never to be honest again. That is why I now work in insurance Ollie Sky Insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 On second thoughts, I think I would have handed in that £10k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRD DAN Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 21k ??? buys a lovely single setup lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 On second thoughts, I think I would have handed in that £10k I would like to think I'd hand it all back. Although for some of us, perhaps it's a case of strength of character verses personal circumstances? Edit: Just seen this 21k ??? buys a lovely single setup lol He's right.

SupraGirlie Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I'd keep it, and not spend it for a few months in case anyone claimed it etc, if nothing after a few months I'd spend it. Saying that, if it actually happened, I don't know what I'd do lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Maybe buy a few more TT Aerotops for your collection? And why not? A quick calculation tells me with £21,600 you could almost buy 100 NAs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
