Default Re: OT: A Funny thing happened on the way home tod

Only similar thing I can think of was 5 months ago. I was going to a bookshop/games/comic shop in town and as usual I went to park at the Car Park. So I'm driving along slowly looking for a spot, it's one where there's only one road so you look from side to side as you go from level to level. I saw what looked like rubbish, bits of paper lying on the ground (in retrospect, technically they are plastic). As I drove past I peered at the pile and thought "That rubbish looks sort of familiar....Hang on, it isn't is it?"
So I stopped my car at the turn with cars behind me. I held up my hand and walked around the car to the pile. I bent down and picked it up and there was $240 just lying there . Since I am incapable of doing the wrong thing, Hey I'm Catholic, were incapable of making a decision without feeling guilty , I turned it into the Attendants. The next week they said no-one had claimed it and told me to give it to the police (that way I can claim it if noone gets it). So after a 3 month wait I went back and managed to pocket $240, without feeling any guilt, though it does make me wonder who loses that much money but does nothing about it?
