Okay, so I was at good will looking to buy a couch. So I thought I might look at some of the clothes, and I got to ski pants, and was feeling the fabric in them like I do sometimes with clothes. So I felt this lump in one of the pockets of this ugly pair of bright pink ski pant. I thought it might have been a lift ticket so I looked to see what it was, or where it was from. I put my hand in the pocket and pulled out an envelope. When I looked in the envelope, I found a ton of cash. There was at least fourteen $100 bills and some 20s. I was really shaken up at that point because I had no idea of what to do(and yes, the money was definately very much real). I found this lady and told her that I found some money in a pocket of some pants and she told me that'd she would go get the manager. When the manager came, I told her I'd found the money in some pants and handed it over. eanwhile, everybody at the counters were saying 'you are so honest' and so on like they would have just taken the money. The manager told me that she woud send it to the main offices and see if anybody had been looking for some money they accidentally donated and if not, the money would just be donated to whatever cause.

What would you have done in that situation?

i would like to think that i would have done that, but i just dont know. if it was a ton of money, i might have taken some, but notified the right people and given most back.

chances are though that these pants had been sitting in a person's closet for years and they'd never know that there was even money still in the pocket.

fuck thats a hard dessision. i think it is one of those millionare dudes that thought they would do a good deed and give some money to some random person at good will. maybe the person wanted you to have it. damn if i was a millinare i would leave money for people to find like that. but good job at doing the right thing. i know if i found it i would have a very difficult time giving it to them. it would be cool to find out whos money it was

^ agreed.... you dont get ahead in life by being generous.... The more money i have the more i can ski, skiing comes before honesty anyday. My conscience would be clear too because obviously no one knew about the money so they wouldn't know if it was missing.

how the fuck is that a hard decision? that is about as free as money gets. like what the hell? just take the money.. noone would ever miss it. takeing it would be the right thing to do. fuck the manager dude probibly just pocketed it. like wow. I don't understand honesty in a situation like that.... like fuck... its free money... you arn't taking it from any one. weird.

I am going to goodwill and looking through every single pair of pants there from now on. Think of what 1000 bucks can get you? And if that was somebodys savings, its their fault they didnt check the pockets before donating the pants.

It might be the morally right thing to do, but it certainly wasn't the logical thing to do.

I would have taken the money.

wow, yah i think i would have given the money back...but then again, if i bought the pants, then yah, the money technically came with them...wow.. wouldn't it have been cool if u just bought the pants as a joke to sport em around the mtn or something? and just find the money AFTER buying them? that'd be great...but total props to u for giving it all back tho

who gives a fuck if you bought the pants or not... noone knew the money was there.... so if you took it, no one would miss it. sooo its yours. and no one would ever care. so whats the problem? you aren't stealing from anyone. cuz its noones money. the end.

definitly shoulda bought the pants, cuz then you would have the money and you wouldnt feel so bad about it. then you coulda worn the pants on the mountain and be even cooler. you gotta not feel guilty in that situation cuz you dont even know how it got there so fuck it. also if they were PINK snowpants then im sure they have been there a while and nobody had found the money until you so fuck the idiot who put it there and take it. also if they were pink it was probabaly some rich cocain dealers pants back in the 80's and wont miss it very much.

are you crazy LinconLoop, that store doesn't need extra cash more than a young skier. I'm sure a business like that is probably doing better then someone who probably hasn't even began to start a career or anything

i would buy a bum useless shit. like a spatula, an electronic chessboard, a swingset, a picture frame, a water gun. i have no idea why, i just would. i think the bum would take all the shit apart and make usefull stuff out of it and it would be super.

really, the money belongs to whoever brought in the pants. since he/she will never see the money again, you should have taken it. I bet the manager just pocketed it after you left anyway. ass.
