This is a classic moral dilemma. The kid got completely shafted for doing the right thing, though. You'd think they'd be a bit more grateful.

I thought it was customary to recieve a percentage...hmm. If I ever find a bag, screw it. Life will be nice for me for a while.
If violence is not your last resort, you have failed to resort to enough of it.

If someone with actual monetary issues came across that bag and kept it, I'd never blame them. Even if it was my money. Anyone who can put that much money in a bag, leave it lying around, and completely forget about it REALLY doesn't need it that bad and I find this a wee bit far fetched.
Still, good for the boy. I'd have thrown it at my college loan if I were him =P

Wow. Just wow. That's absolutely ridiculous. They should have given him at least $10,000.
Jared said that the campus police gave him $20 for his honesty and a campus cashier made him cookies.Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my Uncle Jack off a horse." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse."

Would keep it 100% of the time. It's a victimless crime, like punching a stranger.
All shrank, like boys who unaware,
Ranging the woods to start a hare,
Come to the mouth of the dark lair
Where, growling low, a fierce old bear
Lies amidst bones and blood.

I'd sit on it for a while... keep it safe and see who made a fuss about loosing it or if it was covered by surveillancer cameras.
After that.. donate a considerable percentage to charity.. possibly onw called Kravenar's Retirement Fund.
Although another thought...... if you waited for a double XP reg special...... that'd be what - 216,000,000 xp... is that enough to roll up a second and reg straight to Hegemon? If you did that you'd have to be a blunt specialist and get an autoload that was just a big 'ol money bag that you belted your foes over the head with.

That's what I was gonna comment on. Twenty dollars, lol. Would have had me miffed. As much as I would love to have reclaimed some money from a greedy university... It was indoors. We have cameras at our campus. I can see myself sitting with two detectives and a rolex on my wrist. "For the hundreth time, I never saw a bag..."Originally posted by Aristotle

He should have pulled out at least $10-20 grand for himself before returning. Then again, maybe he did.Originally posted by Savaric
