Teens hand in $100,000 catch

[SkinnyGoomba]

Regardless of the origin of the cash, spending it would no doubt be a positive to society as a whole.

The drug dealer would know if it happened like in that movie Millions, and he started scoping out the surrounding neighborhood for people who might have stumbled upon it.

but what are the chances of that ...

a co-worker found 600 dollars in 10's and 5's at a job we were doing once.

i've ran over quite a few ones, and a 20 once...

one hundred grand is one hundred grand, it'd take me 5-6 years to make that. i know a lot of 'admirable' things i could do with that kind of money, and returning it isn't one of them.

Ahh, Way of the Gun.

I suppose if they can sleep at night when their in their 40's and life decides, sardonically as she always does, thats its best to be a *****; if they can still sleep at night, then the choice was at best, inconsequential.

no, he did not. i think he put most of it in the bank, he bought some cigars for the guys at work i think [i don't smoke so it was sort of 'gee thanks'] .r something.

Happy ending? Genius cops?

Police search creek after fishy $100k find



Police on the New South Wales north coast say they have thoroughly searched the area where two teenagers found almost $100k in cash.

Officers were called to a business in Lismore at about 11.00am on Friday when the boys handed over the money.

They told police the stash was found during a fishing excursion to Tuntable Creek near Nimbin earlier this month.

Inspector Greg Moore says officers will investigate whether the discovery is crime-related.

"Look that's obviously one line of inquiry we're looking at," he said.

"It could be proceeds of ill-gotten gains but at this stage we're certainly keeping an open mind."

Inspector Moore says it is not clear what will happen to the money if no-one comes forward to claim it.

"[The boys] could have a claim to it or it could go to internal revenue," he said.

"They're pretty philosophical about it. They've basically said they just want things to go back the way they were before they found the money I think."

Police want to hear from anyone with a claim or information about the cash.

I am from Lismore, looks like I should go fishing more often

If it was found out at Nimbin, then I would say 95% chance it is the proceeds of drug growing/dealing. The other possibility is that some drug addled feral inherited the money, and decided to stash it in a creek so that 'the man' (ie. banks, government, corporations) wouldnt get his hands on it

I would have put it in a Chinese bank account.

 

[The Swede]

Sure, keep the money. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[BrettChaotix]

Did they leave behind a math test?

not really same principle. you walk into a room and you find a few drops of blood on the floor you probably dismiss it as just some small, minor accident.
you walk into a room and find blood smeared everywhere, you most likely will call the police.
