I remember the day I went for a money order for my Styer AUG. I had the cash for the money order in my front pocket. Next thing I know a lady says you dropped you cash. I looked down, thanked her & offered her a reward. She said no. When I paid for my money order it was over. When I reached into my pocket latter I found my AUG money.

Yep! Remove the money and look for tracking devices. Destroy the tracking devices and move to another storage container, and bury it somewhere.
I would take it as a sign that the Lord has answered my prayers for the last 70 years and I am not going to question His wisdom. I shall take the money as He wishes and use it for good. Can I get a Hallejuuuuiahhaaa???? ForI have sought and it was answered, I have asked and it was given to me, I have believed and been rewarded in this life.....
Um... I'm going to play Devils Advocate here...
I was raised that I should never trust a dollar I didn't earn (or so my Dad would say) for two reasons:
- It is worth "less" to you since you didn't earn it.
- You always end up owing to someone in the end.
"Take a handout son, and you are no better than a bum on the corner." - Dad
How moral and righteous right?? Thanks, Dad
In this example, if you ever get caught by the IRS keeping this cash, they will be all over you like white on rice. Honestly, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
The fact is if you pocket this money the IRS/Banks WILL find you. Your spending habits/rates will change and it will issue a red flag for an audit the following year. Where once you were paying bills month to month with your payroll check, then all of a sudden you can pay your mortgage, groceries, gas, guns, etc. with unsourced cash....issues a red flag in the paper trail. Heck, try it; but your account better not grow abnormally, and you would be a fool to buy a fancy car or house...
Just saying.

Old bills would be very tempting to keep because it would be very easy to get rid of without being caught but I still am not sure what I'd actually do with it. New bills, banded in serialized order, very tempted to give it to the authorities but again not sure if I'd keep it or give it back; there are ways to get rid of it without it coming back to bite you.
