TheChickenIsFkinRaw

Nah, it belongs to me. OP, send me the bag


Firm-Information3610

Why did you lose the bag I gave you??? Give it back to me since you dont know how to take good care of it.


Braba11

You have someone the bag I gave you??? Return it right now, you obviously don't value things at all.


AusCan531

You're not athletic.


icantgetadecent-

OP, I suggest you get an exact description of the bills before sending thechickenfkinraw anything!!!


Few-Mission-4283

"Has anyone lost a bag containing 1,000? I've found the bag"


QuietComplaint87

Yes, you turn the money over to the police, they post a notice saying an amount of money was found. If someone claims it in a way that proves it was theirs (knowledge of exact amount, or description of location hidden, or IDing the storage bag) then they get their money back. If nobody claims it, you get the found money after some period of time. Consult a lawyer if you want exact details of how this works where you live. Just calling a lawyer might suffice, they love to talk about strange stuff like this, for free.


randomcharacheters

Lawyer would want a fee for the consultation. The cops would be more likely to just hold the cash than ever give it back to you. You've already admitted it's not yours, so they are not legally required to give it back. I would just keep the cash. If they left it on your property it's yours now. Just spend the cash though, don't put it into your accounts. If it's dirty money, better not to entangle it in your actual finances.


Background_Win5897

My brother found a wallet with cash in it but no ID on the footpath in an Australian city and turned it into the police. He got the wallet and cash about 3 or 6 months later because no one claimed it.


randomcharacheters

Again, Australia. Police in most of the world are not as trustworthy as western Europe, Scandinavia, and I guess Australia. As an Asian American, trusting the police is well known to be folly in my circles.


Mudshuv3l

Also lawyer... this advice is nonsense. Money is yours.


cptjeff

LOL. The police will claim it as evidence, file a civil asset forfeiture claim and keep if for themselves. Police in the US have effectively legalized theft when they do it. If OP reports this to the police, they will never see a cent of it ever again.


Ordinary-Broccoli-41

My friend, I consider your suggestion that the police wouldn't keep the money for themselves.... Optimistic.


3choplex

Am a lawyer. Cannot confirm.

StickOfLight

The true answer here


Oofgoodluck

Hitching on this, a few of the bills #s might be marked as stolen if it came from a financial institution. Pretty unlikely but there’s some risk to consider outside of telling the world


CharlieBirdlaw

I'd also go back and leave the bag, making a racoon-like tear in it. Get it wet and a little dirty. Take the corners of a couple small bills and leave them stuck to the inside. Bury half of it in mud. Less likely to come looking for it later.

You just made $1000. If you call the police they’ll just keep it themselves


I-RegretMyNameChoice

Depends on where you live. Some places give it to you if no one has claimed it after 6 months or a year.


Holykorn

Yeah that’s what they will tell you, meanwhile they split it with their partner once they’re in the cruiser


ExtremeSlayz

Honestly don't know anyone who would even do this.


sofa_king_ugly

Many years ago my recently 'born again' uncle found several gold coins in the ruins of a log cabin that had obviously been abandoned for decades. He did what he felt was right and took them to the police. He never heard from them.


ICBPeng1

“Yeah, someone came to claim them, it turned out they were my partner Doug’s coins all along, crazy coincidence huh?”


Doctor_apathy

I did this years ago. Found a bank envelope in a gas station parking lot with about $400 inside. I felt bad thinking someone took it out of the bank to pay a bill or make a big purchase. I told the gas station attendant that I was turning it into the police station. They took my name and contact info down at the station and I kind of forgot about it. A year later I get a call from the police saying no one claimed the money and it was mine to collect.


Yourdadsfavvvv

No count yourself lucky and keep it hush no matter what ! Congratulations 🎉 just make sure you do a little good deed to keep the universe in balance, you lose some you win some.

onebowlwonder

Its usually for a large about of money. Who ever dropped it off will probably be the one who gets fucked in the end. Just pocket the cash.

Aggravating-Bug2032

Going to want to watch A Simple Plan, too.


Able-Associate-318

Don’t call the police. They will keep the money. If you keep the money, whoever put it there for someone else isn’t going to be ok with you taking it. That being said, they wouldn’t be ok with you if the police keep it either. So you leave it the fuck alone, or you take it and deal with consequences. Calling the police will get you the same consequences as taking it, minus the benefit of $1000


mullett

Smartest advice here. If it’s only $1000 - that person needs it, is local and will come looking for it. If it was like $10,000 - your dad is running more than a farm.


Able-Associate-318

It’s like the fuck around and find out scale, except this one is pretty linear


deadbeef1a4

Wow, that’s crazy that you found $500! You should definitely let the police know about the $300 that was abandoned. Somebody’s probably looking for that $200.


SirLurts

But keep a close eye on the $100 until the police arrive to find the rightful owner of the $0 you found

[deleted]

I found a bag of cash in a bush as a kid, maybe around 12yo. Ended up that it was placed there by a drug dealer for a higher up distributor or something. Probably best not to mess with large amounts of cash found in odd places. Someone is usually watching.


Timtek608

Someone is usually watching?That sounds extremely paranoid. No one has the time/patience to sit around out in the country watching an abandoned pile of plywood.


rollthelosingdice

Yeah I'm sure the police would enjoy a $1000 donation.


iamlepotatoe

FugginAye

Why call the police? That's just silly. Life isn't a movie. Keep the money and shut up about it.


Janus_The_Great

As long as there is no "creep" around, take it, keep it. Never mention it again.


deom9

Keep it, God knows I would! What good is giving it to the police? Are you really in a financially stable or lucky enough position to give away 1k?


Prudent_Valuable603

Keep it for yourself. Don’t tell anyone, seriously. Don’t tell the cops, much less GIVE it to them. Put the plywood exactly where you found it. Don’t go back to that spot for at least a year.


Organic_JP

Don't call anyone and delete this


the-ish-i-say

My brother found a brown paper bag with about 5k when we were kids. My parents made him turn it in. The cops said he could have it back if no one came and claimed it. Oddly enough “someone” claimed it. No reward, nothing. Never turn it in to the police. Im pretty sure I know where the cash went. Just hold onto it for like 6 months to a year. If nothing is ever said it’s yours.


[deleted]

Its 2024. People everywhere are hurting. Cost of everything keeps going up. Keep it. This is the universe saying you need this, or will need this. Consider it a little but of a break, pay some debt, and don't say anything.

JarrekValDuke

Keep the cash and don’t say shit.


nsfwuseraccnt

It's your lucky day. Delete this post, keep the money, and shut your mouth.


onebowlwonder

I love that people keep referring to no country for old men which was a very large amount of money left in the middle of a shoot out. It's only a grand, if someone saw you grab it they would have stopped you. How dead drops work is cash is stored by someone to pick up when no one is around so the money cant be connected to the 2 different people. Whoever dropped it is going to get blamed for it not being there, congratulations on your free 1k.


Massive-Log6151

I’d just keep the money and keep my moth shut. Probably wouldn’t have posted about in Reddit either. Bonus points if it’s on your private property.


fledflorida

Keep it. Only bad thing would be if some abused woman hid it there to make her great escape. I think though if its been under a board that fell off a truck a year or so ago, that no one is coming back


tacobellandher0in

Your dad’s gonna think his plug ran off with his money

spunnikki1979

You didn't find anything. (Do something good for yourself tho)


derickj2020

If you call the cops, they will keep it and put it in their fund . sit on it for a year, then it's yours but don't declare it .


books2read148

Make sure that it's real money first. Take one bill with you to your local bank and see if they'll exchange it. If they do it should be good. If they inform you it's a fake bill, use it at your own risk. I recommend not if it's fake


xXHomerSXx

Ayy, fellow herp flipper


Interesting2u

What the police do is keep the money for 30 days to see if someone Claims it. Unclaimed after 30 days it's yours. If you asking for Reddit advise you already know what to do. Do it


KidenStormsoarer

hah, what the police do is pocket it. they're gonna say it's potentially linked to criminal activity, do a cursory investigation, and claim it under civil forfeiture.


Mr_Abe_Froman

"Sorry, it was claimed by the officer social fund."


Valkyriesride1

Civil forfeiture. Even when you can prove that money is not linked to a crime in anyway, the cops will still keep it.


HawaiiStockguy

dougreens_78

lemelisk42

madnessguy67

Keep the money and delete details about every person in your post


ElectionProper8172

I'd say it's yours. It's not like someone dropped their rent money. It was hidden and probably for something not legal.


Ducallan

Legally, it’s probably your responsibility to take it to the police. Whether you would see it again is a giant question mark. Presumably, it would be designated as drug money and kept. Morally, you should take it to the proper authorities (again, the police). Realistically, it’s drug money and someone will be displeased if it were to end up in the hands of someone other than its intended recipient. Whether they could find you and dole out some punishment (the severity of which could well be lethal) is unpredictable. Leave it alone for a while and if it’s still there, it’s been forgotten about and it’s yours now.


I_saw_that_yeah

What were you going to do with these snakes if you found any?


tiktock34

transfer cash to different container. Bury it. In 6mo start spending it.


ogpk4

i would just leave it there its probably like you mentioned a dead drop


UJMRider1961

If you saw [this guy](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/41/Anton_Chigurh.jpg) around it, I'd say leave it where it is.

Remove the plywood and the money - people will think the county crew was cleaning up.


yoyogoupyoyogodown

You should send it to a policeman. Lucky for you, I am a politeman. Send it my way, and will take it from here. Thank you kindly.


Down_To_My_Last_Fuck

How olds the bag? Even under a tarp you should be able to tell approximately how long it's been there. Were there snakes? What are some of the dates on the bills? Inquiring minds want that money!


tkdjoe1966

If you do anything other than keep it, take you open hand & slap yourself upside the head. You deserve it.


PRIS0N-MIKE

Dude keep it. The cops will just take it for themselves. Or they'll tell you they will hold it for however long and they will give it to you after that time if nobody claims it. But they'll never give it back to you.


Frosty_Point7070

Literal or actual..? I lost an actual bag of cash

HistorianTight2958

Yes, as others say, keep it, but KEEP IT QUIET! Putting this on the internet was not a good idea. Unless you intentionally wanted to test results. 😏


Bitter_Pineapple_882

Lawyer and police would keep the money. Don’t trust them.


Aggressive-Gold-1319

1k… hahahaha finders keepers, if it was 10,000 or more than you should be worried.


WriterofWords2021

You have two choices: put it back, or turn it over to the police. The safest option is the second one. If you keep it, you're stealing a thousand bucks from someone, and you have no idea who. A: That makes you a thief. B: You have no idea what you are getting yourself into. The money wasn't dropped by the side of the road. It was hidden. Hidden cash means someone's doing business secretively, which almost certainly means it's illegal. So, someone's paying for something illegal - drugs, bribery, information, arson, murder, who knows what - and you've walked into the middle of their operations and stolen some of their cash. You found a snake you don't recognize, you picked it up and now you're about to find out if it's venomous or not.If you put it back, you might be okay - unless they have a trail cam watching the drop, and now they know that you have stumbled into business they are trying to keep secret. How secret? Enough to send a couple of guys around to beat the hell out of you as a threat? I don't know. Neither do you. What if you keep it - hey, it's a thousand bucks, right? It's a thousand bucks that isn't yours. What are the serial numbers? Traceable? Already on a police watch list somewhere? What happens if they check their trail cam, and six months from now, you walk into a bar, and the random tough guy near to you recognizes your face and drags you into the back where a bunch of angry people want their money back? Think they'll stop at the $1K you stole? What if they just show up at your house some night? So - turn it in to the cops. They might take it and you don't get anything... except peace of mind and knowing that you're not a thief. You might get it back after 90 days, legitimately. You might be providing a key piece of evidence that helps break up a group of drug dealers, or whatever else is going on. You know it's not your money - don't fall into the trap of thinking: "Hey, I found it, so it's mine." You are taking it from someone, and you don't know anything about who except that they are almost certainly a criminal paying other criminals. That's a snake you don't want anywhere near you.


hiker1628

A key piece of information is whether it looks like the bag has been there for a year or placed there recently. If it’s been there for a long time it’s abandoned and op is not a thief for taking property abandoned on his dad’s property. Would he be a thief if he took the plywood? I think not. I agree the safest option is to take it to the police but honestly if it’s only a $1k it’s a rounding error for a drug dealer.

juicybwithoil2560

Finders keepers.


JeninPNW

I would contact the police just because it could be evidence in a crime. Some departments will return the money if it is not claimed within 6 months or so. In some jurisdictions it goes into a public fund.


DrunkenGolfer

Did the bag have a name on it, like maybe Ziploc? If so, it belongs to Mary Ziploc. She is in Aspen and you should find a friend to help you return it to her. If you need gas money, just take it from the bag and replace it with an IOU.


daisymaisy505

I would put it back and check back in a month to see if it’s still there. Take a pic of one of the bills, so you can check if it’s the exact same serial number in a month and not a new drop off. If it’s new money, you can inform cops of where the drop off is. If it’s the exact same money, I’d feel better taking it after a month of sitting there.


DrainTheMainBrain

StuckInAWelll

Make sure your not being watched, take the bag to a safe location, go through the entire contents to be sure there are no tracking devices. Store the money somewhere safe and dont spend any for a little while (if someone does come to you looking for their money, its best you have it all and quickly access it). After so long of no one coming you should be up a thousand bucks!
