Lost & Found: Your most interesting find

Somebody dropped a $100 bill in a Racetrac store. I found it when I went in for a cup of coffee.

found $100

While fishing I hooked a blackberry someone had lost

When I was a teen I found a stolen car abandoned in the woods. Looked in the glovebox and found the address of the owner. Since it was only three miles away, my friends and I decided to ride our bikes there to tell the owner in person that we found their car.

They hooked us up with a pizza and pool party at their house while the cops fetched the car from the woods.

I was walking the beach in Perdido with a little Füt and the youngin' found a stainless ID tag from a crematorium in Tampa with a number on it. From a burial at sea, obviously.

The next time I went deep sea fishing I returned it about 20 miles offshore.

Found a $100 bill on the pavement at a gas station in Slidell on the day of a home Saints game.

I found a $20 bill in the parking lot outside of the grocery store. I checked to see if anyone was around who might have dropped it, but I just kept it because I wasn't going to go bring it into the store.. Tell them I found $20 and then ask "did anyone lose $20".. After all, it was only $20.

i'll give you $20 if you delete this post

I don't know what the law is in Florida, but in Louisiana, it is illegal to dispose of human remains anywhere other than a designated cemetery. People can keep cremated remains, but not dispose of them outdoors. That being said, when my FIL died, his wish was that his ashes be scattered near his favorite fishing hole. The guy at the Crematory explained the law to me and then said that IF I choose to dispose of them another way, I should keep the tag attached to the bag of ashes. He said if found, they could trace it back to him, and, since I signed for them, he would turn my name over to the authorities. Of course we followed my FIL's wishes and my BIL kept the tag. It was one of the best things I've ever done for someone in my life and I still feel good about it. It was good that you returned the tag to 'the deep'. It was obviously someones wishes and you should feel good about it! Not related to the OP, but reminded me of the story.

A meteor.......and $5
