I pick it up, open it, and inside I counted $1300 in soaking wet cash. I thought, "founders keepers...", so I wrapped the cash up in paper towel and ditched the wallet.

I tell one person, 1 guy I work with what I found, and 20 minutes later the manager comes to me and says, "I heard you have found something that isn't yours." I had to get the wallet, give back the money, so they could call the guy and give it back. They probably kept the money and just gave back the guys wallet.

So I guess that may have been karma in place there, but as 16 year old, that was like finding gold, and if I found it again, only I would know.

So you want to know about being mad.
Great story...I once found 150,000 yen..about 1400 bucks..I didnt say shit. ditched the wallet down the sewer and commenced to spending..
What can I say..I cant read Japanese..
This should be in the confessions thread. LOL



But I have lost money a few times and it is a real bummer..

I have also lost it gambling..and that gives you the same feeling as seeing it flying in the wind..lost money is lost money
