Good... job?

For the woman in question. Some may disagree, but I only care what I think.

the "rightful" owner shouldn't have been throwing her money around like that. being dead is no excuse.

Want to see a bunch of liars?

DUMBASS

Honorable, but still a

Nunez said she will send some of the reward to Mexico so her mother can have an eye operation and will use the rest to buy a digital camera

Take it a step further and have the digital camera replace her eye.

FTA: Nunez said she will send some of the reward to Mexico so her mother can have an eye operation and will use the rest to buy a digital camera.

Nice. Give some, as opposed to all, to your blind mother's operation in a third world country and spend the rest on yourself.

/I would of kept it
//then throw one hell of a coke party

Maybe she should have bought English lessons and citizenship...

Just like those dirty dirty Irish and Eye-tyes did 100 years ago.

Look what it got them!

"Youse know what I'm sayin'?"

First thing that came to mind ..

//Don't know why.

I've donated quite a bit to the IRS over the years. I keep hoping some heroic soul will find it and return it to me.

C'mon, everybody!

Let's make fun of honest people so we can look like real bad-asses in comparison!

In other words,

But what about the karma!!?

They never have any good stuff @ that Thrift Store anyway...

we just had this conversation on friday

most of the people were arguing in terms of karma, others just had the "don't give a shiat" argument. 300+ comments

Good for her. At least it shows that there are still honest people in the world.

Not interested in making fun of her, but since when does simply being a decent human being make you a hero?

It's better to go blind than to be subject to evil socialist universal healthcare!

Decency hasn't been par for the course in this world for a good 50 years. I blame that infernal rock and/or roll music.

You'd have done the same thing.

/that's just your pride farking with you

If a member of my family needed an operation and I found 30K in a donation drop box... I'd be greedy and get that operation.

/Pride never helps. it only hurts...

Nunez said she will send some of the reward to Mexico so her mother can have an eye operation and will use the rest to buy a digital camera.

I think they are just called cameras now.

czarangelus: Too bad this woman's mother can't get a vital medical procedure in this country.

She could if she had only worked for it... or had a daughter smart enough to realize she had the means...

Something tells me that this woman has a bunch of these in her house:

I was in the $15,000 thread defending the person that returned it.

I'm feeling like an asshole today though.

biatch shoulda kept it. And fark her mom too. I bet she still has one good eye.

I think it was the right thing to do. The family got the money back, her mom got the operation, she got a camera, everybodys happy.

To quote Carlin.........FARK THE DEAD...

I bet the woman left it in the clothes so that her greedy kids wouldn't get it, but that someone who truly needed it would.

Ihaveanevilparrot: I was in the $15,000 thread defending the person that returned it.

I was all "be honest, you assholes" in that one, but this instance seems different to me as well.

Her mother DID get the operation due to reward money, and she got a camera. Doesn't seem like too much of a loss.

Most recent incident: Last year, the grocer gave me a $50 bill instead of a $20 in change. I got halfway out the door before I looked closely at it. Turned around and gave it back to him, in exchange for the $20 I was due.

I sleep VERY well at night.

Been done friday

If I had experienced that at Safeway today... I'd have kept the money. Their incompetence is stunning.

Mordarke

We are on the same page dude. (probably because i've only seen the name Nunez twice in my life, PBF and this article.)

Damned shiftless Mexicans!

I manage to be honest enough to tell a sales person if they forget to ring up something or give me too much change, but dang $30,000!!! That would physically hurt me to give back; I think she is a much more honest woman than I.

A basket belonging to a donation? What?

It was rock music for a long time, but now it's rap music.

RAP music? It needs a C in front of it!

Clearly, when you look at the replies in this thread, it is something above and beyond. . .based on this thread, most people wish to think she is a "dumbass" so that they can feel better about the fact they are scum.

I was at a gas station a number of years back buying something stupid... like a bottle of pop and some Tic-tacs. Total bill of a buck and change. I paid with a $5.

The girl at the register, maybe just out of high school, counted back change for a $50. I handed it back, telling her she'd made a mistake.

She just gave me a dirty look, took the cash back, and punched everything back into the register. I watched this time. "5" "0" "00". Fiddy bucks. Same result as last time, of course. So she counted me the same wad of bills back.

Now all this time the fiver was still sitting right there on that little shelf on the cash register above the keys. Right there. I fanned out the bills she'd handed me, pointing to the five. She gave me that teenage girl "damn old people are stupid" huff and rolled her eyes.

Then she took the $5 and put it in the drawer with the other $5s. Not under it with the $50s. Apparently she saw it was a fiver, knew it went with the other fives, but since the register told her what to give back that's what she went with.

So I shrugged and kept the money. Fark her. I bought my family a nice dinner. And slept well with a belly full of prime rib.

When I was younger, I found 5 bucks on the floor at Wal-mart and dutifully turned it over to a manager. The other day, I found a twenty, put it in my pocket and walked away.

The people who donated the clothes obviously had no idea the money was there and there's a good chance the person who died had forgotten it too. They never would have missed it. The only quandry I would have had is how to get it out of the store without my boss seeing me.

/could live on that for two years

That's likely from Air Force basic training down in Lackland, not some nerd playing war...

I can't see nametapes but that looks like someone who just got done crawling through "Hells Half Mile" during Air Force Basic Military Training.

The Dummy M-16 A1 with a triangular handgrip, something the Army doesn't use during training....and issue Mask insert glasses kinda give it away, as does the red sandy dirt in the muzzle (San Antonio seems to have that nasty stuff and it always got caked in there and the Cadre would check for that and yell at you for letting your barrel get clogged), as does the crappy, uncovered, ill fitting PASGT helmet. And it looks like her hair just got messed up in the low crawl. Also, BDU's with the strings clipped (Only real military and maybe ROTC are that anal), a brown T-shirt underneath...pretty much adds up.

I'm just going on very recent memory (About a year ago when I went through)
Maybe the picture is kind of fitting...Air Force warrior week is kind of a joke...but it was alot of fun too.

Oh, and that woman did the right thing.....but if it had been my parent, and it was a life threatening thing, I'd of had a hard time doing the same...but for an eye issue....meh.

is honesty still around? in 2008? in AMERICA???

youre all a bunch of dishonest poopie heads!

Ted Kennedy's Swimming Instructor: is honesty still around? in 2008? in AMERICA???

Nope, we are clearing having to import basic human decency from Mexico now.

Oh No Computer: Honorable, but still a

Is it really honourable to do that to your own mother?

You should have your own pundit show.

It's not about karma. The question isn't whether you'd get a reward in the end (since Karma is supported by a lot of people because they feel "if I'm good now, I'll get rewarded"), it's about doing something good for other people. I like how a lot of us say "well, bad things have happened to me, so I'd keep it". Doesn't that simply perpetuate crappy things happening?

/Would return the money
//is prepared to be called (a) an idiot, (b) a communist, and (c) an idiot again

I would have returned it too. My grandmother did the same thing, in shoe boxes all over her house. She told my dad where they were on her death bed. Folks that lived through the depression did not trust banks. That's all I could think about when I saw this story. That women worked her whole life for that money. You'd be a complete greedy asshole if you kept it.
