What would you do?

You're financially strapped from every possible angle....to the point that you haven't checked your mail in weeks knowing you can't pay any of the bills that await you.

So, you make the move.....the the mailbox that is.....as you're sifting through the piles of envelopes you come across a festive birthday enevelope. You realize the envelope is address to the former resident. Curious, you feel your way around the envelope to see if there's anything in it....that you can feel from the outside of course. After holding the envelope to the sun, you realize there's a $100 bill just waiting to be spent.

The return address, from states away, is clearly written on the envelope.

What would you do??

First thought would be to use it of course, but I wouldn't. It would play on my conscience if I did. Maybe the person whom it was going to needs it more than i do.
 
As much as it sucks i would send the money back to the sender. I know a lot of people are probably thinking that I am crazy.
Bills can wait. They will always be around!
I would want some one to return my money if I did that, therefor I would do it if some one else did it..If that made any sense at all! LOl
 
simple: return it! I'm honest!

Oh and I love these questions.....you can really tell whom a person is by how they would react in these situations.

Would it change your answers if the return addy was NOT on the envelope??

well, if the person's name or the senders name is on the envelope I would try to find one of them. I would exhaust all means before I went get a mani and pedi with that money :heart:

lol
 
well,

I would take it.

Dumb luck just made it happen that no postal worker saw the 100 dollar bill through the envelope like you did. If you send it back it will certainly be discovered. So then you'd have to change envelopes - they'd get it back and it'd be a big wtf. Perhaps you could look them up on an online phone book and call them?

Lets think with our brains here, not our emotions.
 
Send it back, I've actually done this with a $20.00 bill in a similar situation( Christmas card). I got a thank you letter from the person. It's sad someone felt obligated to send a letter thanking me for being honest, sad thing about our society.

If there no addy...

Do something meaningful with it..

Give it to charity or something :)
 
Depends. Do you have kids to feed? Why are you financially strapped?

I'd consider ganking that ish and dealing with the ramifications later. Survival of the fittest and all

sorry it took so long to respond to this...i was endulging in a delectable breakfast and making reservations for a divine lunch today.




.....recently came into some money.

no, dork...i heard this on the radio this morning.
for the sake of this post NOT getting quoted...would be my luck and all you goobers thinking i'm a theif....


A radio intern here in atlanta was talking about this this morning. He just graduated college and has no money. Yada yada....this happened to him. He kept it. I just thought it'd be interesting to see what others would do.

...would really do.

ahhhhh "Da Yoot of today"
 
If there was an address I would return it. Not only is it morally right, it is also a felony to open other people's mail. Eventually the sender might notice the recipient never received the card. There is a chance you would get caught.

If there was no return address then I would probably keep it. If there is no way to find the owner or recipient, then the money would be best served on me rather than someone else who has nothing to do with it.
 
I would hold onto it for 1 or 2 months...then spend it.
everything happens for a reason, the money ended up in my hands so it must haave been meant for me.

any money I find---I KEEP!!!

just being honest.
 
I'd return the money too.
Similar thing happened a couple of times to me at the gym. They have a security box for valuables. Opened the box and found a nice wad of cash in money clip.
I have to admit I thought about keeping it but returned it to reception...she told me the next day that the person it belonged to came back to see if anyone returned the money.
What goes around comes around.
 
habitualhealth said:
if i'm not mistaken....all the postal workers can correct me...buuuuttt...i'm pretty sure it's a federal offense to open any type of letter addressed to someone else, no?

yes...of course, they would also have to admit delivering the mail to the wrong person.....and they won't admit making a mistake.

That's my hunny! You see you did good and then you found me :-)
Your good deed paid off..hehe!
 
spend the money, then see if there's any personal information about the sender or the intended recipient in the letter you can use to open a credit card in their name or to blackmail them.

hahah.......silly
 
$100 wouldn't even make a dent in the bills anyway. So, it wouldn't tempt me that much. Now, if it were $1000, I would be crying as I sent it back.
 
Here is a good ex. of how karma works
Copper thief made fatal error

Electrocuted while cutting power line

Published: Monday, January 08, 2007
A man in his 40s was electrocuted while trying to steal copper wire from an electrical tower at a company in Montreal's north end Saturday night.

The man scaled a fence surrounding the tower located on Albert Hudon Blvd. in Montreal North and climbed about 10 metres before cutting a high-voltage cable and falling to the ground.

Workers at the company found the body and called an ambulance. Tools for cutting wires were found at the scene.

The man's identity will not be released until police can contact his family. He was so badly burned, police could only say "we believe he's a white male."

The electrical tower was privately owned by the company and did not belong to Hydro-Quebec, officials at the utility company said. Hydro workers came in to shut the power to allow police and ambulance technicians to work at the scene.

The theft of electrical wiring has increased as metal prices have soared in the last few years, Hydro-Quebec spokesperson Sylvain Theberge said, although it's rare to have someone climb a high-tension electrical tower in search of copper.

Wires on pylons can have tens of thousands of volts running through them, Theberge said, which can kill instantly. It isn't even necessary to contact them - electricity can arc from a high-tension wire to a body eight or 10 centimetres away.

"That's why we keep putting out the same message to people who are risking their lives, because that's what they're doing," Theberge said.

"It is extremely dangerous to venture out on to this type of installation, and we tell people to avoid this type of theft, because the consequences can be far worse than expected."

Several cases have been reported in the United States of thieves in search of electrical wiring being killed. Last spring in Langley, B.C., the body of a 35-year-old man was discovered in an underground B.C. Hydro substation after he cut a live wire.

I found a wallet last year at Tim Horton's washroom in Oakville with $600.00 cash...I gave it to the kid behind the counter then thought later I should have contacted the owner myself. That kid may have kept the cash himself.

Often times people are just happy to get their ID and credit cards back. In that case there was no way I was keeping the money.
 
Spend the hell out of it.. Its GODS way of helping your situation, because I know you have prayed for a MIRACLE,, so theres your answer..Whats the saying ......IF GOD HAD WANTED YOU TO HAVE IT, HE WOULD HAVE PUT IT IN YOUR MAILBOX..heheheh

If the return address was on the envelope I'd mark "return to sender, addressee moved" and drop it in the mail.

If there was no return address, and I didn't know where the former resident was, I'd put it towards my bills and thank the gods for the windfall. Stealing or no, something like that, if your back is against the wall you need to be practical.

I look at that sort of shit as "pay it forward" karma. If you spend the money on something not frivolous, because you really DO need it (overdue bills, etc.) with the full and honest intention of doing something good in the future, when you yourself are in a position TO do good, life usually straightens itself out. You may be the one who finds a wallet or purse with identification in it, or someone's lost kid in the store or you catch the dog running down the side it has a collar and you run the dumb mutt home.

True story, we were coming home from vacation one night, towing a trailer, and my husband went through an intersection, did a double take, and pulled to the side of the road. He runs back and picks up a wallet that was lying in the street, little bit of cash and all the guys I.D., cards, etc.

We pulled into a parking lot, he called 411 on his cell phone, got the guys phone number, called him (his number was listed and he had just gotten home himself) and the owner drove right over at 11:00 at night. We offered to mail it but he was thrilled to have it back.

Send it back. I just had a dream that I had laundry bags of money in my possession and I could have taken hundreds out with no body noticing. I did not take the money. And I certainly could have used it. God will provide.
 
To get serious for a second, almost everyone has a point where they can throw morals and principles out the door.

I have alot of friends who went into law enforcement - cops and DEA. everyone of them was a solid standup guy who NEVER would have thought of taking money.

But almost everyone, just a few exceptions, after being faced with bags of drug money every day for years on end and mounting bills eventually succumbed.
 
Return address? I would keep the money and send a letter to the address with a lengthy, needy request for additional money. I sure hope that in their hearts they can give more of it to their loved one in need.

I would do this to the same address for years if I could. Then I would most likely abduct a small puppy from a helpless child in the park and sell it on the black market to buy more stamps.

Funny, I bet you would not be saying that if you were diagnosed with a termial illness. "GOD WANTED ME TO HAVE IT"
At that point you would ask God "why did you give this to me"
If God wanted you to have more money, he would make you smart enough to earn it yourself :-)
Silly way to defend a greedy act.

habitualhealth said:

Yes. If it makes it so that a reasonable person cant possibly get the envelope to either the rightful owner or the sender, then keep it.
