What if you found 5 Million Dollars?

[Julianking93]

Okay, so I had this discussion a while ago with my girlfriend about what we would do if we found 5 million dollars. It was the normal, "I'd go on vacation" or "I'd invest it" or whatever, but I was think about what would you do if there was a catch. So I told her this scenario:

You're walking around in the woods (say, you're on a hike). You look down on the ground and find a suitcase. It looks like an upscale sort of suitcase. You pick it up to find that it's open. You look inside to find a total of 5 million dollars in it. But, here's the catch, there is also a buisness card with a name, a number, and an address. But, its dated 5 years ago.

What would you do?

Personally, I'm an asshole, so I'd take the money.

 

[Radeonx]

I'd take it.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

Take it, duh.

It's five years old, nobodies claimed it.

So, it won't be missed.

Take it, but firstly I would carry out a very important task.

Remove all tracking devices.

Very important.

[Kabutos]

I'd take the money then call the number on the business card from a payphone to gloat.

 

[Hazy]

Take it. Easy.
Being kind makes you "Feel good inside" but that doesn't pay off bills.

 

[VanityGirl]

I'd take it. If someone's an ass enough to lose 5mil, there they don't deserve it.
I'd use it to pay off college loan (ugh) and buy a home.

 

[Satin6T]

take it and waste it all on freezy pops and asian prostitutes

 

[Aqualung]

Is that enough to buy a PS3 these days? I might buy one then.

 

[crudus]

I'd question why there was a date on the business card.

 

[Hazy]

Is that enough to buy a PS3 these days? I might buy one then.

$299 my dear
Unless you were joking, to which I say: Ha ha.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Take it to the cops. I'd be extremely suspicious of someone carrying around that much cash.

 

[ae86gamer]

I'd take it and stuff it under my mattress. After a few weeks I'd go out and spend some of it, not too much though, then the government might get suspicious.

 

[niglett]

take it and use the case to look classy.
id use the monies yo buy a Mclarin-f1 my dream car with the first 1 mil and a modest home in the woods with the rest. because i like to own land and lots of it.

 

[Tartan_Ninja]

I'd take the money. But I would have to have it exchanged. I'm English y'see. So its more likely I'd get caught.

 

[El Poncho]

I would think what a silly man not wanting money like this , oh well his loss. Then I would go to shops and ask if they had change for 5million.

 

[Jedoro]

Take it and arrange for someone to pick me up near the edge of the woods, so I'm not walking around with millions. Five years gone, that company's written it off as a loss and moved on.

I'd then buy some neat shit, like games, guns, and a house.

Well even if i found $5million dollars in the UK it's still worth about 2.5/3 Million Pounds, so i would just slowly spend it e.g. Go to car boot sales and use the money, pay for stuff in cash (small things only) for example Train Tickets, Games, Food. But then if it's marked it will be a lot more diffucult so i would hope it's 'Used' money.
