Is it legal to keep cash you find on the ground?

The answer may surprise you;

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/personalfinance/is-it-legal-to-keep-cash-you-find-on-the-ground/ar-AAHfhCI?li=BBnb7Kz

This is from the article;

“If a person fails to turn over found money or property to law enforcement, it is considered theft and a person can be prosecuted,” said Reischer.

When I was a kid a guy and his son were walking down a street in Jersey City and spotted a car in a driveway with the trunk opened slightly. They checked out the car and found a satchel in the trunk containing a lot of cash (turned out to be $50,000).Knocked on the door, no answer.

So they walked to a nearby police station, told the desk sergeant the story and handed the money over. They were told to check back in a few days.

A few days later they return to the police station. 

No money, no desk sergeant. "No one has seen him since a few days ago", they were told.

A unofficial guideline

Just some hints for our few 'elite' (in their own minds anyway)

You don't have to post in every thread.

Posting back to back top back to back is for egomaniacs.

Considering the above you can reply to several people in one post, you don't have to copy what each of them said.

The Tao Te Ching tells us;

Those who know don't need to be told, those who don't know seldom listen.

So I realize posting the above may be tinkling in the wind but it needed to be said.

Ouch! Jeopardy champ likely owes $1.2M in taxes

'Jeopardy!' champ James Holzhauer likely owes $1.2 million in taxes

 

Jennings reacts to Holzhauer's 'Jeopardy!' loss

Holzhauer doesn't think he changed game forever

  "Jeopardy!" champion and professional sports bettor James Holzhauer lost in his 33rd episode of the TV game show, which aired Monday, finishing $58,484 short of the all-time winnings record. (The show aired first on the CBS affiliate in Montgomery, Alabama, on Monday.)

Of course, Holzhauer, 34, won big. He made $2,462,216 in those 33 appearances, including the $2,000 prize he received for finishing second in his last show on Monday. Only one "Jeopardy" champion, Ken Jennings, has made more money ($2,520,700) and had more appearances (74).

The IRS also won big. All winnings on game shows are considered ordinary income, taxed up to 37% by the IRS. And most states have state income tax, too.

Even though Holzhauer is a resident of Nevada, the game show took place in California, which means he must pay taxes in that state, sports and betting website The Action Network reported. Combined, federal and California state taxes will put Holzhauer's net winnings at $1.29 million — a 47.6% cut, the site said.

Despite not besting Jennings' record total winnings back in 2004, Holzhauer does hold the all-time record for the most money earned in a single Jeopardy episode — $131,127 — and also owns the record for the top four money-winning episodes.

Playing with words

When you are bored just think about a few things that don't make sense ..like....


1. If poison expires, is it more poisonous or is it no longer poisonous?

2. Which letter is silent in the word "Scent," the S or the C?

3. Do twins ever realize that one of them is unplanned?

4. Why is the letter W, in English, called double U? Shouldn't it be called double V?

5. Maybe oxygen is slowly killing you and It just takes 75-100 years to fully work.

6. Every time you clean something, you just make something else dirty.

7. The word "swims" upside-down is still "swims"

8. 100 years ago everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars. 

    Today everyone has cars and only the rich own horses.

9. If you replace "W" with "T" in "What, Where and When",  you get the answer to each of them.

 

Six great confusions still unresolved....

1. At a movie theater, which arm rest is yours?

2. If people evolve from monkeys, why are monkeys still around?

3. Why is there a 'D' in fridge, but not in refrigerator?

4.  Who knew what time it was when the first clock was made?

 

And now a sixer ...
