From the AP Wire
A county garbage operations employee found a plastic bag on the road stuffed with $65,000 Thursday — and immediately turned it in to authorities.
It turned out the money had fallen off a Loomis armored car half an hour before Debbie Cole found it near the Pinellas County solid waste operations facility where she works. First she thought it was a turtle in the road.
The 53-year-old Largo woman found the bag just before 7 a.m., full of enough $50 and $100 bills to pay her salary for two years. She immediately contacted a supervisor, who called deputies.
It's not clear how the bag fell from the truck, said Mark Clark, spokesman for Loomis, a Houston-based cash-handling company.
Cole's boss, Bob Hauser, said he can't give her a raise or a bonus for her good deed because she's a government employee. But maybe, he said, he can arrange some extra time off.
Cole, who grew up in Long Island, said she was raised to be honest. She said she raised her four daughters the same way.
Did she think for just a minute about keeping the money?
"Everyone keeps asking me that," Cole said. "To be honest, no. It didn't even cross my mind."
WT....
I'm all for honesty, but this was anonymous money found in a generic bag. She should have at least taken a couple thousand dollars and no one would have known. Oh well.

I would have kept it

How do we know she didn't?
Oh, I would have kept it too, no problems.

Hell yeah, me too.

There are very easy ways of concealing where money came from, as long as it's a one time deal.
The bills themselves? Check them for marking.

Don't be a dumbass. Of course you have to turn that shit in. Police will track down the money and jail your ass for months, if not years!
DURRR I WOULDA KEPT THA MONEY DURRRRRRR
Yeah, of course you would.
Have you ever seen 65,000 dollars with your very own eyes, in cash? $65,000. Sixty five thousand fucking dollars. Holy. Fucking. Shit.
Blood money, bitches. BLOOD MONEY.
I think you disagree just to disagree.

I've seen $65,000, I've seen close to $100,000 in person. It is a staggering amount of cash, true. But, if you don't quit your job, you can easily spend that much cash over a year or two. You wouldn't want to throw it in your account, obviously, but you'd save more of your paycheck and by the time you spent the $65,000 in cash over two years, effectively it WOULD be in your account.

The money came from a cash handling company, not some drug deal or something like that. It was probably insured anyway, too.

I'm pretty sure it would get tracked down. I mean, if you find the bag... who knows who's seen you take the bag?
And let's not forget, if you suddenly spend a great deal of money, it can attract the police's attention.
But more importantly, I would be spending someone else's money. It's just wrong.
Only an absolute dumbass would spend a lot of (ill-gotten) money in a short time.
Tet has the right idea.

The sad thing is, I bet a lot of people would do just like Ruzbeh said, and they would indeed get caught by their bank.
