sorry, if someone gots the money to have 1 million in jewels, then they have the money to buy some new stuff, heck, even the bag was worth alot of money.
i wonder if they gave him a reward?
i could use that money alot better than they have, i sure as heck wouldn't spend it on jewlery.
sure, some say its theft, i say its found, i would use it to pay off my 100k in medical bills and invest the rest. call me mean or whatever, but my feelings are if someone has so much money they can buy a 1000 dollar bag and 1 million worth of jewels, than they can afford to lose them, i wouldn't feel bad about it one darn bit.
oh yea, a lift and some new wheels/tires!!!!!

Tough call! I don't know. It would be hard to keep it, and hard to return it. I'm just kinda glad I didn't find it. I have plenty of moral dilemas to deal with as it is.
Seems to me that anybody silly enough to leave bag of loot sitting on a park bench may be badly in need of a very expensive lesson.

let me add to that, actually, i would scan around and see if it was on the news reported or something, i would turn it in depending on the person, i.e. if it was a persons life savings than yes maybe, but if it was bill gates than heck no!

I agree with bf250's first post on this one. I dont think it would be their life savings, and if it was maybe they would take better care of it next time than to haul it around with them like that.

I found a purse a couple of weeks ago and just looked in far enuf to get an address so I could return it. The checkbook was showing so I did not have far to look. Unfortunately it had been tossed by some thieves that had cleaned out the credit and debit cards. At least the thieves put everything back in the purse b4 they tossed it out the window. The owner and I reported it to the police. I have not heard whether they caught the people involved. I can't imagine what good a debit card would do, -don't they need a PIN for those? The cards were all canceled within an hour of the theft. The purse belonged to a working family. I would not have cared whether it had $2 or $2000000 in it.

when I was 14. I remember finding a wallet with 1,000 dollars in it. While fish the Connecticut River. I returned it to the owner and the guy gave me a hand shake and said thanks. My dad told me I should have just kept the money, since the guy didn't even toss me a few bucks for returning it. I said " If you had lost it, would you want them to keep the money and toss the wallet? " That shut him up n the subject. I saw the gentalmen 3 weeks later and he gave me $100 for finding it. And told me the money was sapposed to be for his daughters graduation present and would have given me it then, but it was ear marked. So patients and doing good deeds sometimes pay well. I added it to the Boy Scouts money to aide for a new ambulance fund. I admit I had a lot of things I wanted to buy but I thought someone else could use it more and for a better reason then greed.

I think I would keep it. It's clearly not something a person needs, and doesn't care enough about $1,000,000 to keep an eye on it. Think about it. If you have that much in jewels, you'd watch it like a hawk, wouldn't you? The only reason the person wouldn't is because they have plenty as it is, or they're just plum stupid.

I would have no choice but to return whatever I found or make a best attempt to find the rightfull owner.
My own experince when I was young has taught me that whatever I try to get away with is going to cost me 10 times that down the road, somehow, somewhere....
I had to go back into Lowe's recently and pay for 1 4x4 tile that got missed. It was a whole 49 cents but I just could not walk away.

I would turn it in. Expecting no reward. But, would except one it offered of course.
And I could really use the money. I have three girls (youngest is 14...oldest is 33) and a wife that continually place me in the financially challenged category.
