Good topic but we may as well add what people have "caught". I have
heard of the bales of drugs in the ocean and a duffle bag of cash

($80K)

even made the news a few years ago.

I caught a cheap 35 mm camera. It was in terrible shape. A friend of
mine fought a 24 oz hammer for a good 2 minutes on 6lb test on the
Mississippi once.

Never caught anything to that extreme.

Great suggestion....let's go for it...

What have you dropped and what have you caught....

If you caught $80k in a duffle bag....would you report it to the news?






Some people are a little slow. About 20 years ago or so, the Budget
Rent a
car people recovered an overdue car from SFO parking lot. The lady at
Budget removed the 2 suitcases in the car and after opening them, she
turned
them in. $10,000,000 in cash and gold and platinum. The government
took
them as drug booty and she got nothing.



Some people are honest.

About five years ago, I found a wallet on the sidewalk in NW DC between
a fancy hotel and the Georgetown U law school campus. It had several
hundred dollars in cash in it, and all sorts of plastic. Belonged to a
woman who lived out of town. I made several calls to her various
offices and finally someone there tracked her down at a medical
conference she was attending in DC. We met briefly in the hotel lobby,
where she explained she had been carrying her coat while running for a
cab, and the wallet must have fallen out of her coat pocket.

If I found $10 million in cash and other valuables, I'd assume it was
drug money and immediately call the local sheriff's department.

I guess that's just one of the differences between we moderates and you
conservatives.



If I found $10mm in suitcases in a rental car, I would know it is drug money
and is now mine. As to finding wallets, I have returned a couple of them
over the years. Major difference between a wallet and a $1mm+ case of money
on the street. Why not profit from the drug business's screwup?
