Post Your Stories & Pix Of Found Money

Imelda. Looks like she is going to head the other way.

glad you are to be safe, and nice grab of that change

a serious lack of FRNs lately... wherefore art thou, pouch of benjamins?...

that would be helpful. I found only one $1 note in september.

MrPink - you're doing far better than me. I got a severely roadrashed 1980 penny yesterday and that's the first coin of any sort I've found on the sidewalk in weeks.

Very nice!

i can't explain why I find as much as I do. people here are just no good at keeping their change in their pockets, their hands, their cars, their purses. they drop a good deal of money all day, every day. I come out at night to see what the homeless have missed. I did a little better tonight, having picked a well-scattered $1.56, all coins, most roadrashed.

however, I was 'pulled over' again. this must be about the 8th time in 3 years. I was 'pulled over' for... riding my bike. the cop asked me what I was doing, like it wasn't obvious enough. I told him: riding my bike. he held out his arms looking around at the buildings that I was not near and said all these places are closed (like those closed buildings had anything to do with me riding my bike) and said my riding through a (big empty) parking lot was suspicious. I said no it's not, no matter if it's 1am or 1pm, me riding my bike through a big empty parking lot is not suspicious. I do it every night and have done so for the past 8 years, without any trouble.

he ran my ID. found nothing. he asked me several more pointless questions before letting me go and urging me to exit the parking lot, which I did, but after first giving him an earful.

...and so on, blah blah blah. I see it as nothing more than harassment. if I would have had a fireball in my hand, that could have been suspicious. if my clothes had been covered in fresh blood, that could have been suspicious. if I would have had a live baby dangling from my handlebars, that would have been suspicious. if I would have been carrying a loaded AR-15, that would have been suspicious. but just riding my bike through the middle of large empty parking lot?...

i digress. I'm just tired of being pulled over every so often just to hear 'what you doing?'

8 weeks to black friday.

Glad you are still 'FREE' to ride another day too.
