I sat down in a pub for lunch one day and there was a leather portfolio type thing on the seat. I took it to the bar without opening it and they held it. Halfway through our meal an older man walked in went to the bar, retrieved the portfolio and left. I saw him through the window go to his group of 4, opened the bag and pulled out a huge wad of cash. He didn't countit, but it could easily have been 10K. I worked a bar at the time so I knew what a big cashout looks like. He put it back in, went back to the bar and on his way out the second time said thanks on the way by. When we went to get our bill the waitress told us he had paid for our meal.

I like to think it was some charity group that just did a fundraiser.

I'm also glad I never looked in the bag to start, cause that would have been tempting, haha.
