You are walking your dog in the desert near your house and you come across a briefcase in the bushes. You open the briefcase and you find approx 50,000 in cash and a small amount of cocaine. What do you do?
Your house is located approx 7 miles from the location where you found it. This is just hypothetical, Im bored and just wanna read some responses... ETA: would your actions change if there was also a gun in the briefcase? Also ETA:there is a dead body next to it, about 3 days old. The briefcase has close to 150,000. Please respond to all three incidents. |

I make sure there is no tracking device in the briefcase, cuz I don't want that guy with the pneumatic bolt thing shooting me in the eye.
ETA: Damn, beat by 12 god damn seconds. ![]() |
|
I would go buy a hooker so I could have an ass to snort the cocaine on.
|
|
Hide it in another spot, come back later to get it. 7 miles to far to carry in the open. Drugs with it so it's bad guy money, no qualms keeping it.

Give the coke to the dog. |

Take only the money.
Bury the briefcase and drugs. Inspect the cash for trackers, dye markers, etc... Wash the money thoroughly. Bury in the yard for at least a month. Don't tell anybody. Compare with real money to see if counterfeit. ![]() |

Dump everything out into my pockets, ditch the tube a mile or two away. Scatter the cocaine out on the ground along the way, and stuff the bag in a soda can if I find one along the way and be rid of it.
I'd buy a small safe, like a Wally Word fireproof cheapo. Keep the rest of the money in it, and use as needed for daily living. If there's a gun, I'll throw it in the safe; I wouldn't dare carry it around not knowing if it's been stolen or what. |

Bury it a mile away. Come back in a month. Seems to be the best response so far lol |

He aint gonna let those two escape justice.
( he knows about your dog) |

Scenario 1) Keep the money, snort the blow to get rid of evidence
Scenario 2) Keep the money, snort the blow to get rid of evidence, keep gun as a "drop gun." Scenario 3) Keep the money, snort the blow to get rid of evidence, keep the gun as a "drop gun," and buy more blow because there's $100,000 extra and I just quick smoking and could use a new habit. - BG |

Agree with bury it for later.
That would be a hard one though...if I just found the money I would become EXTREMELY paranoid about everything and everyone for at least the first week. If there was a gun in the briefcase I'd get rid of it without touching it, then bury/keep the money. If it was $150,000 and there was a dead person I would check for ID (to make sure he isn't law enforcement) and then bury the money FAR away. Then I'd call the authorities from a pay phone, I wouldn't identify myself. I wouldn't keep the coke, but I'm just not into it. I'd sprinkle the coke on the dead guy, Dave Chappelle taught me well. |

I dont know if I'd like the feeling of looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life, but I have good uses for that money. Take it, ditch the coke and case, check it for RF transmitters and things like that, bury $45,000 somewhere in the woods, deposit $5000 into my account.
If there was a gun, god knows what's associated with it. Leave it. Dead body? Cops. Fuck the money. |
|
Make a quick trip home, then go back, call the cops.
"Officers, I found this dead body here while walking my dog. Seems there were some drugs as well as an empty briefcase. Just thought you might want to check it out." |
|
You keep changing the conditions.
What if there's a gun. What about a dead body. Next up, what if the body was a cop? What if there was a working walkie-talkie next to the body? What if there was a satellite receiver next to it indicating continuous surveillance of the area. Jeez, doesn't anybody just lose burlap sacks with cash in them anymore? |

Not to derail the thread, but this reminds me of a cautionary tale...
It seems that some years ago there was considerable suspicion of corruption among the officers of a small town police department, which involved officers stealing money they found after drug deals gone bad (circumstances similar to what the OP describes) and keeping it for themselves without ever reporting it. Somehow, the FBI got wind of this, and began their own investigation of this small police department. It followed that a short while later, the police officers came across another brief case full of money at the scene of another apparent "drug deal gone bad," and gosh darnit, wouldn't you know it, by the time the briefcase made it to the evidence room at the police station, it was empty, and the officer's report said it was empty when they found it. Only one problem. The briefcase wasn't left by "drug dealers." It was left by the FBI, in a sting operation they were running on that department. Gotcha! |

In ARFCOM fasion.. Is the body a guy or a gal,,, If a gal post a picture.

I would take the money no question about it. The question is what to do with the money so the IRS doesn't get a little suspicious and want their cut. Overseas account? Go to Vegas and place $5000 on 15-Black? |
