I was in the park today and lost 62p, so it's mine.

I can offer a description if you don't believe me.

Glass_Half_Empty??

I am a courior driver for Reality and on my old round in Leceister once I had a right bar stool of a drop at a house I hated as they never answered the door despite being in, anyway on the long walk round the back of the houses to get to the garden I found a five pound note stuck under their fence at the side of their house. Well what was I to do but pick it up and brush it off and pu it in my pocket Needless to say that everytime I went there I was a little less !!!!!! off but never found anymore

Hope it wasn't the money they'd left out for the milkman:rolleyes:

I love picking up "free" money dropped by somebody else...although I'm embarrassed to admit that a few years ago (when I was younger, more stupid, and totally daft about debt!) that I wouldn't have dreamed of being seen bending down in the street to pick up a stray coin...!!?!:o :rolleyes:

My best ever find was walking along the Fulham Road in London a few years ago, when I saw a £10 note lying in a shop doorway :eek: (it was in the evening and all shops were closed). There was nobody around so nobody had "obviously" dropped it, although I have to admit I did look around for any hidden cameras, because I couldn't believe my luck!:p

Of course, ever since then, I've been looking to "beat" this personal best...but the nearest I have come to it is a £1 coin;). I still keep looking though - and these days, I happily bend down to pick up anything from a 1p upwards!!:rotfl:

I was at an exhibition once and, as many of you will appreciate, there can be long periods of inactivity. During one such period I was standing, looking up and down the aisles when I saw a £20.00 note on the floor. Looking around, to make sure nobody was watching me, I carefully edged nearer the note and, choosing my moment carefully, bent over to pick it up.
Just as my sweaty palm was about to pick up this Heaven sent gift, it disappeared like greased lightning. As I looked up I saw the grinning face of the B**t**d from the stand opposite - he, being as bored as me had bought one of those gismos, with the nylon thread, that you hold in your pocket and, on releasing the button, the thread disappears into the holder.
Needless to say that, in order to save my embarassment, I said nothing.
However, over the next few days, I had to suppress more than the odd chuckle as I watched various grown, proffessional business men carefully positioning themselves for the 'un-noticed' pick up, followed by the stupid grin of realisation that they too had been had!

Coupon-mad

I live in an area where Parking Wardens are much, much too quick to hand out tickets (the local Council has declared war on car-drivers I think). You can't even post a letter without risking a ticket being slapped on your windscreen from a lurking Warden!:mad: Anyway, think I got my own back the other day.

I was strolling out of yet another Tesco store when I spied a crisp fiver flapping around on the pavement, swiftly I reached down and grabbed it (in much the same deft manner in which I can occasionally be seen 'wombling' unused Tesco receipts for the Clubcard Points ).

A couple of seconds before, 2 Parking Wardens had passed by me, one of them tucking something in his pocket/tucking his shirt in (I didn't look too closely, might have been turned to stone or something). It had very probably fallen from his pocket but he wasn't looking back or anything and I'm sorry but I just COULDN'T bring myself to ask him about it....well would you?

P.S. Only answer this if you live in Birmingham, Brighton, London or other Warden-plagued cities (and not if you are married to a Traffic Warden, lol:D ).

My 12 year old son has a jar in his bedroom of what he calls "found money" which is literally money he has found...and he finds a lot!! We can all be out together but he is the one that spots the coins on the floor.

But then he is a true moneysaver. He keeps his birthday money 51 weeks before buying anything because he knows the next week he will get more to refill his moneybox.
