Well a pile of £2 coins, just took my lunchbreak and was relaxing in the park as usual when I saw it.
I watched it for 45 mins! I really thought it was some kind of hoax...it ended up being £12
Anyway I took it...lol
Whats the most you have ever found?
ps. am I a criminal?

In Jan 2007 I had a debt of £27,896.00 :eek:
In October 2011 I paid it off and owned £0.00 - Kinda proud of this!:T

I found a tenner in Asda once, I ever so sneakily manoevred the pushchair on top of it then picked it up, and I also found a tenner in front of the counter in HMV in Leeds, so as I got up to the counter I made a big show of dropping my money and picked the other tenner up at the same time as my own. I should have won an Oscar for that, it was so convincing....My sig's too large, apparently - so apologies to whoever's space I was taking up.:lipsrseal0

Lol No your not criminal just lucky, if you didnt find it someone else would have. Well done.
I found £50 before and a couple of £20 notes. Found £5 on Saturday but someone said it was theres so gave it them.
Ive found a few phones too before. Nothing for a while though.
P.s You can share what you found with me if it makes you feel less guilty

strictly speaking you are supposed to hand anything you find to the police who will take your details and if no one claims it in a certain period of time then it's yours. But I doubt the police would thank us if everyone who found a fiver took it in to them LOL
Enjoy the money

There is such an offence as theft by finding - you should hand it in to the local police stn.0

I found a £50 note once, no joke, I was about 5 and I was walking to meet my mum by the school gates and I found it on the floor so I showed my mum and she suggested I handed it in to the school, so I did and some lady claimed it. I never got a thank you from her just a "thanks" as I handed it into reception.
Thats about the one and only thing i've found
If I found it now I would keep it!0
