moral dilemma or jackpot?
Las Vegas Cabdriver Returns Lost $221K, Gets Tipped Less Than 1 Percent
okay, am i the type of person who would return $200K+ that i found? idk for sure but i'm leaning towards hell no - i'm rich biatch! honestly though i'd have to be in the situation.
that being said, are you the type of person to return $200K+ that you found and then bitch that the guy you returned it to only gave you $2000 as a reward? i mean, are you really just returning the money to get a reward? a reward of an amount you deem appropriate?
btw, the cabbie only makes $350 a week so $2000 isn't too bad i'd think.

fk you trigs
According to the article the cabby wasn't bitching
If I returned someone's money I wouldn't expect any reward but would accept whatever was given to me if the sum was 221k.
oops. guess i missed that. most of the comments by readers complained about the amount of the reward too.
unless the author used the word 'ambivalent' for its actual meaning and not the one that most people think it means. sorry, there i go again blah blah blah.
If it was a smaller amount like a grand or two...something small that seems like it would be someones rent money I am returning it in a heartbeat.
That said I am probably returning anything because the guy could be part of the mafia or something.
aha! morality on account of fear. one of my favourites.
More like risk/reward in the scenario Macke envisions.
Macke . . . keeping $200+k is alright, but $1-2k is bad? That is a very Stalinist comment to make.
Me? Don't know . . . with no ID in that bag, I probably keep the money. I might hold onto it for a while to see if anything pops up on the news or some such, but I would probably not look too hard.
Do casinos pay out in another method than cash? (Seriously, I don't know).
sexual favours.
For large amounts, yes...
note: this is not a barg...
You found something that wasn't yours and ppl complain that you weren't rewarded for doing what essentially you should do. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get a reward, but all those comments that are saying the tip isn't enough are fuckwads.
Everyone's moral until they could lose something.

Or "cost" them . . .
keep my 220K, give back other half
or it hits red some how, then i am oi
When I was about 10 years old I found roughly 10k cash stashed behind a convenience store in a small town in SW Ontario.
After about 5 minutes I snap returned it to the store (Are the "Beckers" franchise of stores still around?).
I got nothing, not even a thank you from the prick store owner.
I did however, get called to court to testify against the guy who stole the cash from the gas bar (geniuses, FTW).
I'll never return found cash - ever again.

Cousins . . . dating their Uncle, last I heard.
You're not thinking.
Once it went public that the money was gone, the press would ensure sufficient coverage to TRIPLE the original amount missing. Everyone wins!!
C'mon Ned...THINK LIKE A PLAYA!
Pay attention . . . it was $600k . . . but a cabbie returned $200k that was left in his cab. Then, the cheap-ass orphans only gave him a chintzy 1k tip.
Fucking orphans . . .
