What's the coolest thing that you have ever found?

My buddy and I were spending a few nights in Vegas on the strip. We were taking a cab from Paris to Rio. We hopped in the back of the cab and I saw a little black wallet sitting on the floor of the cab. I picked it up and it was completely empty, except for about $1400 worth of cold hard cash. There was nothing else in it, no ID, no room keys, no credit cards, nothing. Needless to say, we got bottle service at Caesars that night.

How about you goons, ever find anything cool?

Was at an arcade when I was 9 or so, I dropped a few quarters accidentally and found about $40 of cash hiding under the machine. Not sure who was hiding it there or for what purpose but my thought was finders keepers. $40 is a lot of money to a 9 year old, think I pissed it away at the arcade though.

Yo, I don't care what y'all do,how y'all do or where y'all do it, just keep it gangsta and never pay for an av change, have someone else do it- Ya boy Pixie
I was inside a Hollister waiting for my girlfriend to finish trying on clothes, I was sitting in those chairs they have by the register. When I see it, a $50 dollar bill on the floor of a dimly lit clothes store. I put my shoe over it and pretended to tie my shoe. I was $50 dollars richer that day! And I spent it on a $50 Lego mp3 player at Urban Outfitters. Worst Deciscion ever made.

In grade 6 while playing cops and robbers a bunch of us found like 5 big trash bags full of porn under someone's front porch. That was a pretty good summer.

Also I found friendship and love :unsmith:

when you find the porn under someone's porch you are stealing the porn. Realistically I have never not stolen porn though so whatever

When I was in college I went out barhopping with some friends and a homeless guy came and asked me for money. feeling generous while being inebriated and not paying attention I gave him a $100 dollar bill instead of a $1. I Didn't realize it until we got to the next bar either so there was no way to get it back.

So he found something good I guess and I stopped giving money to the homeless. Though to be fair I normally only carry plastic now.

Once while hiking in the wilderness, I stumbled upon the wreckage of an airplane. I was amazed. It looked like it had been there for quite some time, and had been stripped and vandalized. When I later asked about it at the Ranger station, they were well aware of it, as it had crashed a couple of decades earlier. Little did I know that it is quite common to abandon wrecked planes in place. They are sprayed with lots of International Orange paint so search parties that may stumble upon it later know it's not the wreck they are looking for. Anything that is really valuable or easily salvageable is removed, but the rest is just left there.

I actually found about $1500 bucks cash I had lost in a movie theater several hours after I lost it. I was pretty sure it would be gone since it was opening night and the theater had been filled. Luckily for me it was there, deep enough in the cushion that nobody noticed it.
