Be totally honest now .... If you found $10,000 in a paper bag would you hand it in or keep it?

This question haunts me once again LOL - When I was younger (many years ago) I applied for a job with the border patrol. They asked this same question. They told me to be totally honest.

I thought about it and said yes I would keep it. Needless to say I didn't get the job :P Now that I am older with hind sight being 20/20 - I would still keep it :) Hey I didn't get the job and so I'd need the money!

Did they give a reason for not hiring you?

You could have reasoned with yourself that the $ could have been ransom $ and if you didn't turn it in, a little child may have been murdered...

I dunno it's a stretch but you may have got the job :-p

Its the government, they don't have to tell me anything. Yes you are correct, I could ave reasoned that scenario... but with a timed test I didn't have time to go into deep thought on each question. Maybe thats what they are looking for. People who think appropriately and act quickly on that thought. I don't suppose I fit that mold according to the government :P

yeah, they were probably looking for a true goody-two-shoes.

If you lost $10,000 in a paper bag, and someone found it... what would you want them to do with it? Keep it or turn it in?

I found a black bag containing $100,000 in cash. There's no way to identify the cash or owner. Should I keep the money or turn it in?

Honestly, if you find a bag with $50,000 cash in it--no address no name, no phone #--would you turn it in to the authorities, or would you keep it?

If you found a bag full of money, would you keep it? or Give it to the Authorities?

If someone gave you either $10,000 for you to keep and spend as you will or $100,000 to give out randomly, what would you choose? why? What if it was 1,000,000 to keep or 10,000,000 to give?
