“It’s not my money. I shouldn’t take it. I don’t care if you put another zero on there, I wasn’t raised to take money that isn’t mine,” said Adams, a 54-year-old single man who lives in Arlington Heights and credits his deceased parents for teaching him right from wrong. “If I saw you drop it, I’d say, `Excuse me, sir. I think you dropped something.’”
Is it me or is something wrong with people who do this? Why don’t these people think it’s a blessing that they found this money? A few weeks ago someone found money in an attic and turned it in to the police. If you ask me these are senseless acts of being a goody too shoes.. Obviously God and the Universe wanted you to have that money.. Why give it back?
I mean if I see someone drop something. Or I find a wallet or a purse I always contact the owner to give them their stuff back. But if I found money in a house that I own it’s mine. Adults grow up and forget the simple childhood rhyme.

Money magically appears in my path, money will magically appear in my pockets. Same as a penny on the ground. Like a baseball hit into the crowd, imma keep it if i catch it.
DATS A LIL SCARRY WHEN YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A STAND UP PERSON !!! MOST PEOPLE WOULD SAY HE’S STUPID OR DUMB 4 WAT HE DID !!!!!!!! NOT ME TO EACH HIS OWN ! I WOULD’VE KEPT IT , THIS IS WHY SOMETHING LIKE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ME REAL TALK!!!!!!
@Damen, now that is real talk!!!!
Dats really nice of him
Kinda people we need in this dishonest world of ours
Man returns bag with $17,000 CASH! http://tiny.ly/n0KS
I agree. People can be so greedy and will never give anything in return. What that man did was a result of charity. God bless his examples.
It depends how he FOUND it! Finders keepers losers weepers! End of story
I just need two dollars.
I think sometimes its blessing in disguise. If I find a bag of money on the corner, that’s the same to me as a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Maybe God meant for somebody to drop (lose/give) that money. Just another point of view.
Do u really like or is this random?
Hey Doug, I won’t settle for anything short of 50– thousand
I just found $7,000 dollars! This is WHY it wasn’t me, lol!
If I found and I had a way of tracking down the owner I would return it (I might take my own reward out 1st though). No way in hell I’m giving it to the police though, that’s just stupid.
I’ve got to say this, That man is crazy! Now check this out. If he was walking and found $20 he would have put it right in his pocket without a second thought, but he finds $17,000 and wants to give it back….give me a break!!!
Kissy I agree finding $17,000 in a bag is different from finding a purse of wallet that you give back to the owner. Honestly I don’t know why he gave it back especially since it didn’t belong to the bank and the armor company did not call to thank him or give him an award.
I feel u…if u see someone OK…or if it is a purse and u can find it otherwise u find it…there is no name on it is yours…

Nicole I’m thinking some people just weren’t meant to have money. I wish $17,000 would fall into my lap,
