What is the largest sum of money you have ever found?

[AliShibaz]

I once found $230 in a purse on a seat in the subway.

I kept the money without making any effort to return it to the owner.

I once "found" 342 euros in the poor box in my church.

I took it as a sign of divine intervention and kept it all.

$100 bill in the mud when I was going for a walk with my gf

Amazing!

The reason I didn't make any effort to return that lady's purse was that when I looked for some ID, I found out she was a deacon of some church belonging to Creflo Dollar (well-known televangical scammer) and the money was apparently contributed by so-called "church members".

I figured that flushing that money down the toilet would be better than returning it to her and keeping it for myself would be just as good.

P.S. Doggone it! I pushed the button to quote Stormium's post. But it didn't seem to work. I must have done something wrong I guess.

I once found a fifty pound note on my own doorstep, and as I was broke and hungry at the time, I took it as a sign and spent the lot on food. There was no one to return it to, no accomanying ID or indeed anything at all to link it to anyone, so I enjoyed spending it guilt-free.

Well I think it was really cool of you to give it to your mum, they deserve a treat now and then.
