we were driving home back in the late 80's when i was a kid, and the semi in front of us lost it around a notorious corner near home and dropped most of its load of creamy soda can slabs all around it. They actually asked us if we'd like some so we took a few slabs lol.
If it happened to me, i dunno what i'd do honestly, more than likely nothing though. If i found a note on the ground randomly i'd pick it up, but if it were a money truck i'd more than likely not do anything. You could get in some big do-do for it, blatant theft.

It is theft if you take the money. And in this day and age where everyone has a camera, its more than likely someone will have a picture of you taking it. |

It's best to do the right thing and return it. Not trying to be a do-gooder, but taking advantage of the misfortunes of others is something I prefer not to have on my conscience. I can't speak for anyone else, but that is something I would personally do.

The lost cash was insured, so no bank depositor lost a single cent. Make of that what you will...

In all honesty? I'd probably just leave it alone or take a couple of quid..
If you took a large amount and are dumb enough to bank it, I'm sure the serial numbers would be recorded and you'd just get nicked.

In the US many years ago, $2.5m in used bank notes fell out of the side door of a money truck. The money was being taken out of circulation and transported in large sacks for destruction, the cash was all untracable and it was never seen again....
I have often dreamt of been in such a situation and wondered what i would do, to be honest, i would need to be in that situation to find out....

Haha, stuff it, the bank steals enough from me, i would very much love to steal some back!
Either way, its you and many many others. Grab n go go go! So long as the bank truck isnt within recording distance as they have cams all over outside the truck?
