So you find a random bag... What do you do?

[CaptainCrunch]

Well I'd keep the money, I'd take it and open a bar, I'd probably take on a partner to help run it. knowing my luck that partner would be a broken down ex major league pitcher. We'd stumble along for awhile eking out an existence by serving a group of regulars who come in nightly to avoid going home to their wives or their empty apartments.

We decide to expand our bar by hiring some waitresses, knowing my luck I'd get stuck with a mouthy smart a$$ with a bad haircut who lives to insult the customers, and a plain looking but somewhat cute intellectual who to my own surprise I fall completely in love with. Even though we dance around those feelings we never take that final step into a full fledged romance. Eventually she leaves to go write a book or start up a online porn webcam service, and I end up alone again

Soon after struggling for years and watching my illegal drug money fortune dwindle I finally sell the bar to a franchise and decide to sail around the world.

But my loneliness eventually crushes me and I find myself in a bath tub with a plugged in toaster in one hand and my last fistful of cursed drug money in the other hand. With a terrible resolve I drop the toaster and as the electricity courses through my body and burns my heart to a charcoal like cider the last words to come out of my mouth are "Fracking drugs"

When I was 19 and working at a hotel I found a big brown paper bag of assorted dildos in the parking lot.

It was my job to clean the parking lot but I just kinda backed away and pretended I never saw them.

I still wonder if I was on candid camera or something like that.

If I find an unattended bag lying around I would not go near it, let alone touch it and shake it around. I would call the police to send a bomb squad out....

I would be very unhappy to find myself in that situation, in that by the time I've seen the money and the drugs I'm already potentially in a lot of danger. I would definitely not take the whole bag, just on the chance that it's easy to see. I don't think I would really feel too bad about stealing drug money, after all I would probably do a lot more good with that money than the criminals would, but I wouldn't want to risk my life for it either.

If I was really confident nobody was around though and I felt like throwing caution to the wind, I might just take a few stacks, like maybe ten of them, stuff them in my own bag, carefully wipe my prints off of any place that contacted the bag of cash and replace it exactly the way I found it. I would hope that whoever was coming back to collect the bag wouldn't notice the the missing stacks immediately and that when they did there would be someone else to blame before thinking of a random guy like me. I would stash the cash elsewhere for a few months, then I would find a suitable way to launder it through a legitimate business, most likely some type of social enterprise.

Immediately do all the blow.

Spend most of the money on more blow and hookers, then just waste the rest.

I would assume they're filming season 4 of Fargo, this time with unwitting real life participants.

[troutman]

Would not touch it - a fixer is looking for it.

As with some others, it's all moot to me because I would never approach an unattended bag in the first place. But if I knew what was in the bag, I'd still just leave it there. Not worth it to get involved in something shady that can quite possibly end horribly. You don't mess around with drugs and money.
