Speaker 1 (00:00):
I don't know if anybody saw it or not.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
The guy that they're looking for in Maine who picked
up seventy four hundred dollars off the freeway.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
I didn't see that.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Oh yeah, you know what, there's part of there's part
of the story.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
First of all, I feel horrible.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Was it one of those armored truck things?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
No, no, no, no, no no no. So here's the story, right.
Police are searching for a man who took seven four
hundred dollars in cash that he found lying on the road.
The suspect was seen pocketing the money from a street
in Kenny Bunk, Maine. Now, according to police, the rightful
(00:39):
owner had left the cash on top of his car
after a vehicle sale and drove off without noticing. So
he sold a car, sells a car to somebody for
fifteen grand. The person gives him fifteen grand. He puts
it on top of his car. He's getting himself together.
He gets in the car. He drives off without realizing
that he left the bag of money on top of
(01:00):
the car. The bag falls off, falls on the ground.
There's now money on the ground.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
The dude stops. Oh, so guy starts to pick it
up the rightful owner or the guy whose car fell
off of returned home and realized his mistake.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
He's told his dad, his dad went out to look
for the money. Okay, not him, his dad, And I'll
tell you why that's going to play a key part here.
In a second, a dash cam captured the owner's father
as he came across the suspect scooping up the cash.
The images show the father, dressed in a plaid shirt,
(01:40):
bending down to look at something on the floor alongside
the alleged thief. Police said the suspect then fled westbound
on Fletcher Street. I don't know anything about Fletcher Street
in a Greyhound a CRV. A spokesperson for the police
department said that the alleged thief now faces criminal charges
(02:04):
as this was not a case of finders keepers due
to the amount of money involved.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
In Maine, the law states that anyone who finds lost
money or goods worth at least what do you think
The minimum is hundred bucks.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
It's got to be at least what do you mean,
at least honor.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
That you have to.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
In Maine, the law states that anyone who finds lost
money worth at least blank, must give notice to the
town's clerk within seven days, tell them where the money
was found, and post a notification in a public place.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Meaning like online or whatever it right now.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
If the money is worth more than blank, you must
also publish a notification in the newspaper.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I still think it's one hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
One hundred dollars, so anything one hundred dollars or more
you're required.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
To say anything seems like an easy amount to point too.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
That's a lot of that's a lot. That's a lot.
Fifty the finders keeper's amount in Maine.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
What is Is it less than fifty dollars? Yeah, twenty bucks.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
So if you if you found a twenty you would
have to you would have to report it to the
town's clerk within a week, tell them where the money
was found, twenty dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
And then post it. Well that's what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
No, well, I am reaching. Initially said one hundred, and
you scoffed at.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
That three dollars. Three dollars in May. And if you
find three dollars has been on the books the I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But I'll tell you what if you find if you
find ten dollars that you have to go to the newspaper.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
With whenever these stories come up, though, because I do
believe the finders keepers thing has been cited before and
being recovered.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I don't remember what the value is, but still.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Yeah, what what is it? Locally? As I have just said,
you don't remember what it is?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, I don't remember what it is in Virginia or
Maryland or DC or really anywhere. I don't. I bet
it's not universal.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
And which states just have finders keepers? Uh sort of permission?
Every state? Well no, you just told us mane does not.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Oh, I'm sorry, every state. And if you don't get caught,
I'll look up state by state.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
So number one, they're mad at the guy that he
never came forward now it has been over a week.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Also, I don't like that say that the guy's dad
was there to pick up the money. I don't know that.
How would I know that?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Oh, so if you're the other guy, yeah, i'd.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Be like, dude, get away, there's my money. I don't
know who you are. Oh, it'd fill off my son's car. Yeah,
I'm sure it did. I'm sure it did.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
But there's nothing suspicious about the father.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Other than he went out there to find the money.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Okay, I didn't know if you said that. The camera
showed the dad and he was next to the suspect.
I didn't know if maybe there was a suggestion they
were working in cahoots.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
If this guy gets busted, he faces five years in
jail in a five thousand dollars fine man.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Not doing that in Kenny Bunk.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
I'm still looking for it in Virginia, DC and Maryland.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
By the way, somebody at the like so then they
were talking to people who live in the town and
they were like, I'm very disappointed that someone would stop
and take the money. Who are these people?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Is this an area that prides itself on a real
sense of community? Does everybody know everybody?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
No, Kenny Bunk is bigger than that.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I'm not sure how large it is.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
It's bigger than kenny Bunkport, and kenny Bunkport is small,
but Kenny Bunk is bigger. That's where Bush used to live.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
How many eleven thousand? Yeah, that's small, but it's not. No,
but it's not Christen's hometown or eight people, as you
like to refer to it Hamlet. It's bigger than eight people.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
They sat nine, somebody had a kid. They said, what
it's not yours, it doesn't belong to you. Call the
police and get them to come out there.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
No, take the money. They did a good Smaritan. We
would never ever take that money.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
It's just so sad to think that there are people
out there who would actually go out there and think
that the money is theirs to just pick it up
and take it.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Oh my god, woman, it.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Looks like Virginia maybe one hundred bucks. But they will
hold it for three years to be.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Oh, that's right, and if nobody claims it, okay, yeah,
And that's when office keeper Elliott goes, oh someone claimed.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
It seventy four hundred dollars and what did you say?
Speaker 4 (07:27):
It was in an envelope.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
It had been like in a bag. It was like
like on top of the car. It fell and then
the cash was on the road. I don't know if
this guy saw it come off or if he just
sped up on it. It seems like it's all clumped
together like he didn't have to do a lot of work.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Also, how convenient is it that the dad lives that closed,
because I would I would suck that money up like
no one's business.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
So I'm looking at the images now from the dash cam, right,
you said the dad is the one in the plaid.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Correct, who used it? Has been over there? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:59):
And the random person who's face, I mean it's pixelated,
not for his privacy, but I'm just saying it's zoomed in,
so it's not that obvious who it is. But you
do get a shot of his build and looks like
some facial hair. But why is that the windshield wiper
that's blocking what's on.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
The Yeah, I can't tell what it is there on
the on the dash can there's something blocking out where
the money is.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
That's kind of a terrible placement.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, I know I can see some of the money.
It looks great.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Is that what that is?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, that's that's some of the cash.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Oh okay, that's hard to tell as well.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
No, you just assume you lose the money. You lose
the money.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Yeah, you don't think anyone has ever turned.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
In seventy But you said it on the road. On
the road, like if somebody found it, like, listen, I
would never do it.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Call me a bad person if I found it. I did.
We found money.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
My buddy Patrick and I found a bag of money
at the movie theater when we worked there. Now, it
wasn't seventy four hundred dollars, it was several hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I think it was like six hundred seven hundred dollars.
We split it. Never said a word to anybody.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Man, six hundreds all you got to say something.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
No, if I found seventy four hundred dollars laying on
a street, I'm not saying anything to anybody. And the
answer is nobody is going to. Nobody is going to
if you found a bag on the street. Again, if
you told me you found it in a store or something,
I would tell you you're crazy if you still turned
it in. But if you found it on the street,
(09:33):
you're not turning that in, you said, And if you are.
If you are, then then whether it's seventy four hundred
dollars or a twenty dollars bill, it's the exact same thing.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
It's not your money. So don't tell me, oh, you
keep twenty, but I would I would turn in ten thousand,
because one is not better than the other.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
There was a story where money was found in the
parking lot of a bank, right, and yeah, you use
I guess we're inclined to want to take it. But
I feel like because of the backdrop of the scene,
you were a little more willing to say it might
(10:14):
have been a customer's Yeah, that's okay. Oh you're keeping
that still one hundred percent in twenty twenty five. Now
you're keeping money no matter where you find it except
inside a store.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Oh no, I'm I'm keeping it inside of a store,
even in a store, one hundred percent. Yeah. No, The
only thing I was saying if I don't.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
First of all, ninety nine percent of people are keeping
money they find. Unless it's inside of a store, they
may be likely to do it. But if you find
that money out in public, like like not like literally
outside or on a road, there is nobody that's turning
that in.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
There is nobody that's turning it in. And this is
what I mean for everybody that says, oh I would, No,
you wouldn't, because.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
You don't turn in the five dollars bill when you
walk by it in a Kroger parking lot.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
You can't compare this.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Asolute it's not your money.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
See that's but you're like vaulting to the main state law.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
No, no, no, But but that's why they'll say it, Oh,
I couldn't. That's somebody else's money that's not mine. Well,
so is a five dollars bill. So is a quarter, right,
and you have.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
No problems stealing that. That's like saying it less than
But that's like saying, oh, it's okay to steal from
home depot because it's a big company.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Which you're saying, Well, I was gonna say, which I do,
but I don't. But yes, yeah, I get it. Where
if you're gonna take it, you're gonna take it where
you discover it does matter. Yeah, but there is anywhere,
there is a point I.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Would never take it out of the only place I
wouldn't take it out of is somebody's pocket.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Okay, stop with Pickpocketing is different than finding grace.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I would never do that. I would never do that.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
But I do think for most people is the opposite.
There is an amount. There is an amount where they're
uncomfortable taking it, and then there is an amount where
it feel like there's cameras around you.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Good, put me on candid camera. Then there is then.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
There is the internet.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Then there is no no, no, but then there is
an amount. Seriously, then there is an amount where it's
so much.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
You won't there are cameras everywhere.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Ye fine, get me on camera. Hey, that looks like Elliott. Elliott,
did you take the money?
Speaker 6 (12:10):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Oh, that guy does look like me.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Listen, people thought that Logan Thompson put me on the
back of his goalie mask.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
That's clearly Tom Wilson with a fat face, is it.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yes, people are like, why does Logan Thompson have Elliott
on the back of his mask?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
That's not me? But thank you. If people think that
Tom Wilson and I, even with a big puffed up
face look alike, I'll take that all day. I've never
been compared to Tom Wilson.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
So yes, you're gonna tell me that there's an amount.
Like somebody will go like, oh, twenty thousand dollars, I can't.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Keep twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah again, I'll keep any of it.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
The police for twenty dollars.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Zero chance, zero chance. I was gonna say one hundred
thousand dollars. I'm still not calling the police.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
He stopped.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
It is crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I am keeping all money.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Where's our gold?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Guy?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
I remember he called a few weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Oh yeah, oh yes, yes, no, no, And by the way,
he's sitting right next to me.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
At least I'm being honest. At least I'm being honest.
I am too. You would not call the police.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I'm trying to decide the amount on what the amount
is where you.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Would call the police. By the way, you know what
it should be? A dollar? And this is you're taking money.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
This is side of the road, because I'm definitely if
this is in the parking lot of a store or
nearby a bank, i am either leaving it.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Or leaving it to let me take it.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
It sounds like that may be the case.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
No no, but I'm saying so you won't take it,
but you'll let someone else steal.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
In a good Samaritan, you're handing the bag to the teller.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
No the.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
If I were the teller, I'd be like, I can't
accept it through the windo all come out back and get.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
It from you. Yeah, you want to say on the road,
that's fine, but I'm parking lot doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I know it doesn't matter to you, but it does
to me. So let's just take where there's no.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Side of the side of the road.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
To any transaction that may have happened nearby, which which
can be the.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Side of the road. Perfect, Yep, I'm out of the car.
I'm I'm pointing at cars. Get over. I need to
get all this money. Yeah, I'm stealing all of it.
I'm not stealing it. I'm not stealing it.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
You're finding it, yes, and I'm taking it.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I'm keeping. I'm finding and keeping.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Is it five dollars?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Oh my god, I don't even bat an eyelash.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
You would even stop for five hundreds?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Oh no, No, I'm stopping.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
But like I'm not even debating in my head like, oh,
somebody's out money. Like at some point I would probably
be like, Wow, this sucks. Somebody just lost twenty thousand dollars.
How am I supposed to find?
Speaker 4 (14:47):
You got to stop throwing out extreme numbers.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
No, but that's not to me. I would keep.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I would keep five hundred.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Yeah, you call for five oh one?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
No? Oh well or more.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Dan clearly has a number that you're calling for maybe
a thousand.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Thousand dollars, So eight hundred dollars you're like, I'm just
pocketing it, not a thousand, a thousand bucks. You're calling
the police.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
That's funny.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Diane did that math pretty quickly. I'm terrible at math.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
B eight hundred dollars, Richard, So up to up to
one thousand dollars, you're keeping it. Thousand dollars are more,
you're calling the police. You're affing crazy, and you're you're
below a thousand.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
I think I'm at five hundred.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, you would call the police and go I found
five hundred dollars on the side of the road. The
cop would laugh you off the phone, like I'm in
the middle of trying to solve crime.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Well, maybe I call non emergency, get the matter. I
think they'd accept it. They wouldn't tell me to keep
of course.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
They would accept it.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I'd be like, listen, don't bring it into the police station.
Let me meet you out back. Maybe there's criminals and
will be changed.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
A lot of people call it.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
That's what I there's criminals in this police department. Let
me go out back. It's not saying they'll jump us.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Let's go in the Bulliot's number one fear is the governments.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Line five. Hi Elliott in the morning, Yeah, Hi, who's this.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
It's traveled down in Petersburg.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Hey, Yeah, what's going on? Dude? Hey?
Speaker 6 (16:18):
Back during COVID.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
I remember there was a there was a Virginia family
they found a million dollars cash on the road and
turn it into the church.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
No dollarillion bucks?
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Yeah, no, google it. I remember that because it was
blowing away as they.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
Turned to do.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
And where did that happen in Virginia?
Speaker 8 (16:36):
Virginia?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
No way?
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Yeah, no, I was in Virginia.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
How bad did the COVID mess up your brain?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Can you taste any?
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Promise you look it up?
Speaker 6 (16:46):
Is there?
Speaker 7 (16:46):
I remember it?
Speaker 4 (16:49):
There is a story with us.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
He's right in Caroline County in twenty twenty?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Was it? Was it in February pre COVID? Nay, that's
during COVID didn't really talk about this.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Nearly a million.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
We must have nearly a million dollars in cash after
running over bags filled with bills while they were out
on a Saturday afternoon drive.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Oh were they going to like one of those porch
birthday polls?
Speaker 5 (17:14):
They thought somebody had left trash in the middle of
Broad Street, so they put the bag and then they
found another one a few feet away in their truck.
And what they didn't know is that there was a
million dollars in cash in those bags.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
And I'm assuming the only reason that that story became
news is they turned it in.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Inside the bag were baggies that they said were addressed
with something that said cash vault.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Perfect, it's telling you where to put it, cash vault.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
The money was meant for a bank.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Good Elliott's Bank. Did they name them the Idiot family? No,
they are. I'm sorry, dude, good recall, good recall.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
I don't remember that at all.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
I don't either.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
I don't either, because I mean I think of what
May of twenty twenty was like COVID, But I mean
you were like knee deep in it at that point.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Oh, I'm sure I'd already had it at that point.
Where am I going?
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Chantas said, you do the right thing and return it
because it doesn't belong to us.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I hope they do the same thing for it. I
better see next. I better drop a dollar in front
of them, and they go run into the press again.
The running to the press, that's how the press found out.
I bet the bank they wanted the goodie goodie Alard.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Wanted to think and appreciate the effort.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah, how much did the bank give them?
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Doesn't say great appreciation? Now you keep that private isn't
you're a target?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
The Yeah, you know when I'm not a target when
I got a million dollars and nobody knows where am
I going?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Line five? Hi Elliott in the morning. Hello, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 8 (18:59):
This is Josh.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Hey Josh. What's going on? Dude?
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (19:02):
Marything is good. So I used to work overnight at
the gasoline station, right and somebody came to a putting
gas and he dropped his wallet. So when I finished
my shift, I just came out, you know what I'm saying,
to find his wallet sitting off front and he had
about sixteen hundred dollars in his wallet, and I was like, oh, man,
should I keep it? To take it or report it?
(19:25):
I took the money, you know, but I made sure
I you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Oh, oh, I know. I know what you're saying. And
I'm right there with you.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
So did you I took?
Speaker 8 (19:34):
I took. I took the money, but I made sure
that I mailed everything back to the embassy. You know
what I mean? But the cash is mine. I mean,
I'm sorry, losers keep it this man, I mean you
have to embassy.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Wait what do you mean? You send it back to
the embassy.
Speaker 8 (19:46):
I sent it to whatever address was on his Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Oh, I got it. I got it.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I would have taken the wallet. I would have brought
it inside, and that way if the guy came back
and been like, yeah, somebody turned it in here it is,
he can't.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
He can't.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
He came back, he was like, hey, I lost my wallet.

Yes Tyler from Instagram. I found four hundred bucks on
the sidewalk right next to the radio station.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Hey that's my money. Hey bring it back?
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Hold on, this is sounds like it's more along the
lines of me not you, right next to the radio station.
Went into the bank, checked with them, then checked at
the bank next door. Which is it was that sandy
Sandy Springs.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
It's not the bank in the buildings. No, they were like, nobody,
We've never seen four hundred dollars. Uh.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
The banks said it wasn't there, So he called the cops.
Cops showed up, pocketed it and left.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Bye.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
He was afraid, I'll take it from here. It was
rent money and just couldn't keep any of the cash.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And then another that used it for his own rent money.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Another d M or for mona make a bee.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
I'm eating like honestly, it's like I'm eating the money.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
So this is a photo that's been said to us
as a strip club in Cabo.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Look at the seat.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
They walked into the bathroom and on top of the
toilet tank there was a wat and this is you're
looking at the photo. This is a lot of cash.
The listener writes, I got so scared pretended I never
saw it and walked right out.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Wait, the trap on top of the toilet.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Doesn't even sound like they used the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
They thought it was a trap.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I would have shoved that right in my pocket, right
in my pocket, and then you know what, I would
have paid it forward. Bye, tipping the tip and the girls. Yeah,
let's dance.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Only the right thing to do.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Thanks m J. I just paying it forward.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Line one. Hi, Elliet in the morning. I can't believe
there was money on the sidewalk by the station. Why, Hi,
who's this? Hello? Was the morning? Hey? Who's this?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
But oh hey, keep driving? Your phone's breaking up. I'll
get right to you. But just let's get to another tower.
Where am I going? Sorry, Hi, Elliet the morning, I'm
done eating? By the way, Well for this break, I'm sorry, Yes,
go ahead, Hi.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Hi. So me this was years ago, but me and
my sister found probably about two hundred dollars outside of
the mall and we kept I think we kept like
twenty for each of us. But we did turn in
the rest and I regret it to the stick.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
So thank you, thank you. Why where did you, by
the way, where did you turn it into?
Speaker 6 (23:49):
So you I don't know if it's up there, but
we have like mall security riding around and we saw
him riding around and we stopped him.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
So you flagged down all blurt and said, here we
found we found one hundred and sixty dollars and gave
it to him. Yes, you should regret it.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
Yeah, how old were you?
Speaker 1 (24:10):
How old were you at the time?
Speaker 6 (24:13):
I think I think I was still in high school.
I don't remember she was still in high school. But
oh my god, we were trying to do the right thing.
And then we went home and told like our family,
and they were all they all said, why did you
turn it in?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
So, yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Oh that's so nat.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
It's funny because I was trying to think.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
If my boys came to me and were like, hey,
we were at the mall and we found two hundred
dollars and we turned it in, I think with a
straight face, I'd have to look at them and go,
you know what, that was the right thing to do,
That was the right thing to do.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Jackie would go, that's the right thing to do.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Hey, Elliott, let's give them each one hundred dollars because
they didn't get to keep it.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Ageah, internally, I'd be like, oh my god, who's raising you? Like,
keep the money? What are you doing? All right?
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Very good, Thank you, ma'am, thank you. Yes, Tom, this
is a great story. When my dad passed away, that's
the bad part. We dropped off a suit for his
casket at the funeral home and next day I got
a call from them saying they found ten thousand dollars
in my dad's shoe.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Oh my god, Okay, can I can I ask one question?
Can I ask one question? Is the like was it
not his money?
Speaker 5 (25:26):
What do you mean why would there be ten thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Oh? Okay, okay, no.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Because I didn't know like if if if, like the
money was loose, and the person from the dry cleaner
called him, was like, we found your dad's money, and
they were like the funeral home.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
The funeral home, funeral home. Oh okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Where it was like because if they called and they
were like, hey, we found your dad's money, and I'd
be like, my dad didn't have any money, but thank
god you found it. I'll be right there and then
get it looking for that. Yeah, oh yeah, that's all's
wait so that you keep that.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Oh my god, that's yours, that's your inheritance.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Well, yes, they're saying the funeral home could have kept
it and we would have been none the wiser. Or
do you think now your mind worked that they actually
found fifteen grand and they called about ten?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Well I do like that thinking also.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Nope, not with the dead guy.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
He didn't see me take it. I would have kept it.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
And if they came back and said, you know, there
was ten thousand dollars stuffed in his shoe there, what
I'd be like, Well, then you better check with a
family member because somebody stole it. It wasn't here like I would.
I would go dig something out of his pocket and go.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
We did find an extra button.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Now, on the flip side, this listener went to an
estate sale four years ago, bought a closets worth of
suits for fifty five dollars. Found twelve thousand dollars in
the suits.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
This better end with and I kept it, kept it?
Speaker 4 (26:53):
It ends with, I absolutely kept it.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
There we go, there we go. What, Oh, I'm sorry, Diane,
you're keeping the money. I'm an estate sales.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Different. How it's different?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
How family? That family?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
I think? I am?
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
How is that different? It's the family.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
I don't know because part of me is like you were.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
One thousand dollars on the side of the road. But
the family that you got it from part of me.
You're keeping their twelve grand part of me.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Random stranger, only a thousand family that I just took
the person suits.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
I'm thinking, like, you know what, if you're going to
have an estate seale, you got to go through and
search stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
So it's so you blame the victim. It's on them.
They didn't go through it.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
And now we know what kind of business Diane's funeral
Home does. Because you're not listen, that's different.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
How is that different?
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Thing?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
It came from a dead.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Got different to me?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Why?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Because it was it was in the shoe with the
funeral home. In the funeral home.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
This is suor this is me lining up at eight
o'clock on a Saturday to go to an estate sale.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
And if they, by the way, makes me look good.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
By the way, we just did another one of those
buy nothing meetups on a Sunday morning. Oh god, we
got a top unworn for my daughter. She picked it out.
We didn't get it first she was there. We got
a Halloween lantern that ends up not working. It doesn't
light up like it said it would. And we got
some bath salts unopened.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Also wait, bath salts like that crazy guy who ate the.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
San Francisco Yeah, or Miami.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I think it might be Miami.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
There was no, but there's different. These are the ones. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Oh oh, it's good for your back. Waste of time.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Hi, Elliot in the morning. By the way, you got
somebody's lantern. That's a piece of garbage that doesn't work.
They thought it was because they're weren't batteries in.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
It, the no, but that's not the case. You know
what they thought somebody will take this off our hands. Hi,
Elliet the morning. Yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 6 (29:12):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
It is cold? Yes, Cole, what can I do for you?
Speaker 7 (29:17):
A couple of years ago, buddy of mine was he
was coming over on weekend hangout and he drove his
motorcycle over and uh like very click. Right behind my
house is like the public sports complex bunch of ball
fields where like the police, youth groups and stuff play.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Ye.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Sure, he gets to my house and goes through his bag,
realizes his wallet's gone, so he's like, shoot, you know,
he had a bunch of cash in there. So he's like,
I just had it at the store. It's got to
be on this mile section of road between a store
in your house. So we just jumped. We got a
couple of gators on the farm. We jumped in the
gator and just cruised down the road looking for his wallet.
(29:53):
We get in front of the ball field and there's
probably like a thousand people and kids over there playing
and uh, you know whatever, its soccer football, And so
we find his wallet and middle of the road, all
his credit cards are there. There's a couple hundred dollar
bills like in the ditch, but he said he probably
came like five to ten thousand dollars. And uh there
was a couple of guys like literally twenty feet from
(30:14):
the road washing their kids play. And we said, hey,
did you see this wallet fly out and all this cash?
And the guys like nine, no, we didn't see anything.
And uh so anyway, we head back to the house
and about a hour later, SUV's cruising by and we're
sitting in front of the house, still on the gator,
just you know, he's all upset, and a truck pulls
in and a kid gets out and his dad and
(30:36):
the kid walks over to my buddy and hands in
like fifteen hundred dollars and was like, hey, listen, when
you drove by, everybody saw that wallet fly out and
he said it looked like a just like a it
was raining money. Said there's one hundred dollar bills everywhere,
and he said, our coaches for the for our ball team,
our coaches said, hey, sometimes kids, you just get lucky,
go pick it up. And he said. All the kids
(30:58):
went up there and just collected a hundred dollar bills
from out ten minutes till they saw us coming. And
then everybody went in wow, wow.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
And that was the only kid that brought his money back.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
One kid brought his money back and his dad was like,
I wasn't there at the game. He's I didn't see it.
He's like, my kid got in the truck and had,
you know, just a wad of cash in his hand.
Told the dad the story what happened, and they just
so happened to be driving by our house, saw us
sitting out front, and the kids like, those are the
guys right there. They was looking for it.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
By the way, if I were the coach, I kicked
that kid off the team, like no that's not that's
not a team player.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
That is not.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
The coaches all got fired because they told the kids
to lie to it. But literally, the coaches were the
guys we had. We said, hey, did y'all need dig
fly out those coaches?
Speaker 1 (31:45):
All right? Very good, very good, Thank you. That is
a good one.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
You want another one?
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Well, And I know you like these stories.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
No, I love money stories, especially like when you get it.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
By the way, Jimbo pointed out out that for that
Cabo story, keep in mind you're in Mexico.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Yeah, money's money.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Ashley writes on Facebook. I found thirteen hundred dollars in
the sand at the beach.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I sat, wait, hold on, hold on, Diane just gave
me a look.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
Well, listen to what actually did I set up shop
there to sit next to it all day to see
if anyone came to get it.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Oh my god, they did take it up and walk away.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
They did not, so we kept it. Got back to
the room and it was thirteen hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I think what she did was fine.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
You would have sat there all day waiting to see
if somebody came.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Going to be at the beach anyway, may as well
sit next to the money.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Right, but do you know exactly whose jacket the money
was in?
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Want to I want to retract that. I feel bad
about that.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Don't feel bad.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I'm listening that I feel bad about that.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Why it doesn't make it because.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Because I went back through and thought about it, and
they're obviously like they're they're selling off this past person's
belongings and that, and then that money goes to the family.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Okay, so yeah I shouldn't keep that.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Then then I hope you do that with with with
a twenty.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
That was a knee jerk money focused reaction.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Right, Listen, I didn't say I'm gonna be canonized. I'm
just being I'm just being honest.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Didn't Leo just do somebody canonize someone with ties to Satan?
Speaker 6 (33:26):
The Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:27):
I think he did. Oh, so I still got.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
A chance former Satanic priest?
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Yeah, that's it. So I still got a chance.
