finding money on the floor

[spikytom]

I have quite a good track record for finding money lying around generally - last week i found a tenner on the way to work. At Glastonbury, I seem to have even more luck... most years i'll spot a 5, 10 or 20 on the ground at some point.

My best find was when i found £90 in loose notes near the other stage one night after the bands had finished. No wallet or anything so no point handing it in, and i made sure i spent it all before i left, mostly on buying drinks for mates and so spreading a bit of happiness from what was undoubtedly a bit of a sh*tter for someone else. It was also the year after my ticket got nicked and i couldnt go so i considered it as karma coming back around.

If i found money in a lost wallet/ purse/ bag then i'd definitely hand it in, but i consider lost loose notes as fair game.

What's the most you've ever fonud at Glastonbury? Did you keep it?

Never found any, but I lost £90 in loose notes near the Other Stage one night........

Had my purse stolen at another festival and lost £190, on first day not a happy Bunny

Purse was never handed in hope Karma catches up

Lost my phone up front at the Prodigy. Lots of little bollixes running around after the show like vultures picking stuff up that people had dropped, and running off with it. :angry:

c**ts.

Sorry to be a bore but 'legally' you have to enquire into who owns the money otherwise it could be classed as stealing........ you are fine as long as you whisper in a very very quiet voice 'anyone lost some money' (so so quiet that even you can't hear it yourself) then you are fine to claim it

My ex found £200 at V years back !

As she was a teacher and very anti drugs , she reckoned it was drug money !

on the subject of lost phones I lost my K850i a couple of years ago and some kind soul had handed it in

I wished there was someway of locating the people at the fest who do this so I could brothers cider them up

I also found a bag of about 20 pills in shangri-la in 2009, but decided against handing those in!

The rest of the weekend was most enjoyable!!

In 2004 (I think) I found a wallet on the floor during the WC match at the pyramid, as it was early on in the feat it had about £250 in it.

There was a driving license in there so i somehow managed to get a few hundred people around me singing the name on the licence in the style of a football chat, a few minutes later the owner of the wallet turned up wondering why hundreds of people where singing his name. I presented him with his wallet, to much rejoicing, and he went on his way a very happy man.

On the Monday morning, skint, hungry, tiered & hangover I found about 95 quid in pound coins no cars left nearby and nothing else there that would give any clue as to who lost it, so I kept it.

don't think being a teacher means anti drugs. The teachers I know are usually the first ones with the note up their nose.

That's right kids, your teachers take drugs, in fact they f**king love 'em!

Last year my lad found a phone at Boomtown, so we texted the last number dialled saying we have your mates phone and explained where we were. A couple of minutes later we got a call back and we directed them to us.

Even though it was a old phone, they were really pleased and offered my then 16 year old son loads of different type of drugs as a thank you, he politely refused them all

I did find a phone last year and handed it in but never any money.

Found a fiver when out walking a couple of weeks ago though and it was a slightly strange feeling as although I had no chance of finding the owner it never really felt like 'mine'. In the end it ended up in the next charity box I saw.

Everyone to their own (and I'm certainly not judging) but I'm sure Oxfam / Water Aid could find a good use for lost festy cash.

I found £60 in loose notes on my first week of uni (freshers). It was a good night.
