Teen finds $24K in a theater and returns it

The only question I have is: why was she carrying $24K around with her, in cash, in $100s?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Yes. I'm still curious as to why she was carrying $24K with her in a freaking theater. Who goes shopping with $24K in cash? Come on. It's called a debit card. :(

Ah, it was a deposit bag. My mistake.

I still wanna know why she had $24K with her. Wouldn't depositing that be a big priority? That's a lot of money to lose.

I think thats pretty common. My mom carries money of similar amounts with her, after she returns from work. The woman probably had done it so many times, she forgot about the risks involved. I would leave the money hidden in the car though.

I'd never return it. EVER.

One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

My mom works in a relatively crime-free area and she leaves around 8.
