a 75 year old woman found a bag hanging on a hook ina womens restroom thursday in a resturant. she went through the bag to see if she could find out who the owner is and couldnt. Inside the bag was 97,000... the woman who owned the bag was reunited with her belongings and offered to apy her 1,000 but she refused the money... http://www.newschannel9.com/news/watts_973879___article.html/woman_bag.html would you have returned the money? and if so would you have accepted the 1,000 ?

wow how could you have that much in your bag!? Was it cash check? I would have definitly took the thousand she offered. I am glad the lady that found the bag returned it. There are some people out there that would of just took it and ran. Thats why I ask if it was cash. I can't see it being but who knows. I would feel guilty for the rest of my life if I didnt return it to the owner

Hmm.. I don't think I would return the money. I'm greedy. AND times are really hard right now! But if I did return it.. Of course I would take the 1000! It's the least she could do... LOL

I surely would have accepted the one thousand dollars, gladly. I could really use that money and would appreciate it very much since I was honest and returned it to the rightful owner.

I would have tried to return it. Any amount of money you find over $300 has to be reported, or its considered theft. However, I would have accepted the money as reward, because really I didn't have to return the money. I could have said that I found the bag empty, or not said anything at all. I did the right thing, and I deserve a reward. Not looking for it, but would take it all the same.
