What's the most money you ever lost/found?
 

Accidentally.

The most I ever lost was 800 bucks once when I lost my wallet. Most I ever found was 100 on a crowded sidewalk.

found a $700 roll of twenties wrapped in an elastic in front of a subway.

$200 on the floor of Wal-Mart on XMas Eve.

I found a 100 dollar bill once at the Mall of America

I think I threw an empty pack of smokes away that had a 20 in the cellophane.

Overall I think I'm ahead so far :thumbsup

I found a few hundred k on blogspot back in 04-05.

Some old man dropped about 1500 in front of the bank.I quickly returned it to him for a reward of 5 bucks

found $200 in an ATM someone had drunkenly not taken.

never lost money

I found 2k once in a parking lot where i worked. This woman came in hysterical that she lost 2k in the parking lot for her xmas presents. I gave it to her immediately, but if no one had asked, I'd have kept it :)

I lost Neverland Ranch

very nice of you

found 100, lost 1k

Lost I think like $50. When I was "younger" can't remember if I was 7 or 8 I found a wallet with $700 in It, showed my mom who turned It to the police, I got a finders fee of $70 so I was happy.

i found $400 cash at a gas station a few weeks ago :)

:2 cents: :2 cents: :2 cents: :thumbsup

dont remember how much i lost cause i dont give a shit!!!

I used to play poker...and I was playing in a game and the action got a little slow...so I decided to go to another club. It was only three blocks down the street so I left my car behind and walked the three blocks. When I sat down at the new club and ordered chips I learned that my wallet was missing...it had around three thousand dollars in it...so that is the most I ever lost.

The most money I ever found...is when I started back tracking the three blocks...and found my wallet in front of the door of the previous club. Apparently no one had left or entered the club or my wallet would not have been in front of the door. Since then I never carry my wallet in my back pocket.

Wow there's a lot more cash on the floor than I thought. I don't recall finding anything over $10.

:thumbsup

Somehow lost a $100 bill in a grocery store once. I think the most I ever found was $5. Not a baller like everyone else here apparently, damn.

8000 bucks in unpaid bills thanks to the scammer David Slaughter!!!

Had put it past me until resently, but ........

Maybe $300-500 at one time. At an ATM.

It was years ago now, but it was one of those two dollar amounts.

I think the most I ever found was a $50 bill when the doors opened and there it was on the floor of the empty elevator.

Most I ever lost (other than from gambling :D) is probably something like $10 or $20, something inconsequential, because I can't remember any particular time when I lost money but I'm sure it's happened. If it was a huge amount I'd definitely remember it.

When I worked at a bar I went to the bathroom to take a leak. In one of the stalls was a wallet with 8 $100 bills. I looked at the name on the driver's license and had him called up to the DJ and got him his wallet back. He offered me $100 but I turned it down.

I've lost twenties several times but usually only one at a time.

Found - a billing company once sent my final wire twice, from memory it was about $3000. I could have ignored their request to send it back and there's probably not much they could have done, since I'm outside the USA and it was a 100% final payment (including rolling reserve). I sent it back though.

Lost - nearly lost $250 once when I thought the ATM hadn't issued it. I was pissed off and walked away. Luckily the person behind me was honest and called me back to take the cash sitting in the dispenser... :thumbsup

thank god i have never had to suffer loosing any money.

I however was really lucky once with having found a heaping amount of money. I went to the mall and parked my car and went inside. Turns out an older woman had as well gone to the mall that day and parked in the same isle as i did. She apparently had a bag with 50K in it that she didn't want to walk around the mall with. She went back to her car and placed the money inside the car and went about her business. When i returned to my car got in and went home i realized there was a bag in the back seat. When i opened it it was packed with cash. I got really scared and called the police. Turns out i had the same make and model car as the older woman and she had placed the bag in my car thinking it was hers. she was super grateful and offered me 500 dollars which i declined. Didnt think i had really done anything to deserve the money. The older lady instead took me out to dinner and we became great friends. She is much older now and has lost her vision and most of her hearing. I still drop in on her every so often to see how she is doing!

That was the only time i ever found any money!

found $125 on the floor once-no one was around and no one claimed it so I kept it

Most I ever lost - this one occasion, I scooted through an unlocked door into a banquet room at a hotel to bang my gf under a table at a hotel downtown chicago... took my wallet and phone, set them on the windowsill overlooking the river.

We were just about done when some people came in, aparently getting ready for some luncheon next day or something. We got a little spooked and headed out real quick... I forgot my wallet.

Went down the block, laughing and having a good time, found a restaurant. Ate, the bill came - fuck! Where's my wallet... oh, hell no! I ran back to the hotel, into the banquet room, and it was all set up for the next day. My phone ended up at the front desk, wallet did not. Said wallet had almost $3000 in cash, it was all I had at the time. Since then I've never kept big amounts of cash in my wallet, I always put it in my front pocket now.

The most I ever found was a swing the other way... I was about 19 years old, broke, and in Mesa AZ. My "friend" that I was staying with just told me that although I was broke and had nowhere to go, his pregnant fiance said I had to leave. This was about 11PM, I was pissed and planning on hitchhiking to Florida to meet up with some friends... when I spied, on the ground right in front of me, a hundred dollar bill. Greyhound fare to Fort Walton Beach FL was about $80 - I grabbed some smokes, a bus ticket, and headed on out.

Good shit. :D

damn, that guy was cheap :)

Lost $50 and found $300!

Really good story

I have never lost any considerable amount of cash -- but I lost a solid silver Dunhill cigarette lighter in a taxi in Miami. I then bought another one so my wife wouldn't find out, and then lost that one as well in England :( Gutted!!!

lost about 500 find nothing :-)

15$ was my best to find, lost few $

Found a cash deposit bag on the street one night late. Belonged to a local shoe store and had $800 in cash and big stack of checks. Returned it and got a free pair of shoes.

Found $20 on the street while riding my bike, just happened to look down.

I lost my wallet with credit cards and $80 while sailing a couple of years ago just off Miami Beach.

I found $100 in 20's on a Manhattan sidewalk mid-day one time as a kid. Dad took it though!

the teller at the bank gave me a hundred extra by mistake. i gave it back because i didnt want her to loose her job.

A lot of honest people here, that is good to see.

Easily more than your crappy writing services have ever netted.

$2000 inside an envelope at the supermarket in those self-checkout things.

Address was on the envelope so I drove across the city to give it back but if there was no address I probably would have kept it

Nothing big enough to make me remember

Most found $100, lost about $20-$30

I don't lose money, I just wash it.
And my cell phone.
Any my passport.

Bad habit. Should check pockets.
