Woman finds bag filled with $65,000!

Debbie Cole of Largo found a plastic bag on the road stuffed with $65,000! What would you do if you found a bag filled with enough money to make your life easier?

Wow, that's incredible! I couldn't get your link to work though. Is there a different link you could post?

I would like to think I would turn it in, but in all honesty I wouldn't want to. Things are a little tough right now with the hubby being off since Aug. 9. I really could use the money, but I sure wouldn't tell hubby at all.

Well, first I would turn it in because it might have been a little old woman's life savings or something. But if it wasn't claimed and I received it back I would probably give it to my husband to help make farm payments. The flood hurt us this year and our crops haven't produced as much as they should have and my husband's combine went under so now he needs another one. He's not saying too much about finances to me because he knows that I get really stressed. I think that this time I wouldn't think about myself.

The law is also that you must turn it in - there is no finders keepers, losers weepers legislation!

Temptation can really test your ethics. We are so tight that turning it in would be hard but I expect that I would do it. How could I hold my head up in front of my husband and son if I lied and kept it?
