A friend of mine who has been doing this for over a year found money from another country. I can't recall which but she kept it. It was very pretty. We have such plain bills. haha

This post makes me think about how Walter and Skyler would use a storage unit to hide millions of dollars. Imagine finding that...

The question is...what would you do, turn it in or keep quite about it?

^^^  The cash was likely not in the clear plastic bags shown, but one can only imagine if it was as the door was opened if during an auction.
With all the witnesses, the auctioneer would have no choice but to slam the door shut and immediately call the police.  :72:

Let's assume it was hidden and not visible. Would you turn it in or keep it?

I think we're going to hear more stories of weed being found in storage units over the next several years, with the laws changing and all.

From the story above, you have to love the line:

"As far as what will be done with the pot and cash, Gillis said it's yet to be determined if the seized money will be funneled back into the department. Drug raid assets often pad police department budgets, according to NPR. "   :08:

No, really!!??
In breaking news, Police Chief Bernard Fife stated "our department will be upgrading our cruisers to Porsche 944s - so we can really, really catch all those bad guys."   :73:

Of course, that begs the question (which I know has been asked before):
If you found $1.1 million in a locker, would you
A)  Keep it all, hide it, and hope for the best
B)  Keep some amount and turn the rest in with the weed
C)  I would _____(fill in the blank)_________
