Unexpected money

[monkycndo 0]

So I get home from work and check my mail box. I find an envelope from my ex-employer. I left the company by my choice, with them owing me some money. They were having financial difficulties and I never expected to see any of it. Well, lowe and hehold, I got a check for a small portion of what I'm owed. Looks like I got some "free" jumps.
What type of "found money" have you received?

Sweet - does that mean I don't have to pay for my jumps at the Boogie?

When Idi Amin was about to be dethroned he had his flight crew take his Gulfstream II out into the bush and hide it. They immediately bailed for safer ground until the big man was gone. When they finally recovered the GII they brought it to me for some long overdue repairs and inspecting. I found a 20 pound note in the seat cushion of Mr Big's seat. I tried to get it back to him but every time I tried to get some help with getting all that money out of the country into Uganda people told me that I was trying to scam them.

I met the deductible for my health insurance recently (over paid without knowing it actually) and this evening I came home to a check for a whopping $9.60! It will buy lunch tomorrow though!

Um, I'm the selfish type. Might just use it on a plane ticket to a certain boogie.

Found $100 bill on the floor in a Vegas casino. I thought of retiring, but just like working too much.

Went on a trip to Jamaica with a friend who worked for a resort company. We paid $150 each airfare 4 night stay all inclusive.

While scuba diving, found $150 cash on the ocean floor.

When we refi'd, I had forgot that our escrow account with the prior mortgage company was full.

I got a check for $2900 and change and was very happy.

I meant that I lost the wallet AND the cash separately. A fish snatched it. Yeah, thats it. a school of fish snatched my wallet and while I was swimming after them with the cops, they ditched the wallet and the cash.~~April

I was damn near killed by a drunk driver over 3 years-she hit the drivers side front fender and part of the door of my car; she also hit 2 other cars and a street light before coming to a stop and running away on foot. She was going at least 50 mph when she hit me; I don't know how I'm still here. Anywhoo, The case just settled a few months ago; after doctor's and lawyer's fees I get $800. It''s not much, but hey, its enough to get a good amount of tunnel time down in Orlando Can't wait!

the past two years I made a mistake using the wrong tax table. I got letters from the IRS explaining the corrections, and that I would be getting about $1500 more in refunds. I love that shit. Think I'll make the same mistake for a few more years.

I found a hunting dog's collar and tags on the canal bank on my property last week and mailed it to the address listed on the back of one of the tags.
Today there was an envelope in my mailbox with a $20 bill inside and nice thanks note that I wasn't expecting. Easy money and a nice return on a $0.41 cent investment.

I got twice the amount of financial aid that I was expecting for this semester.

So for those US residents who paid their taxes last year - thank you so much for my sweet new Sony Vaio laptop.

Found $1750.00 in a velcro wallet in Mobile, Al.. I just tied up my railcar and was walking to the ATM. Passed a green nylon wallet with a pot leaf printed on it that was laying in the gutter. I walked about 100' before going back. I openned it and saw the first bill. It was a 100 dollar bill. I stuck it in my pocket and headed back to the railcar. When I pulled the bills out and counted them, there was 17 onehundred dollar bills and one fifty and no I.D. of whose wallet it was. Only money.

Like an idiot, I fell at work a few years ago and broke my wrist. The Dr wanted to fuse the wrist to repair it after the cast. I refused and opted for cortizone. A few months later I get a call from Nevada Industrial comission that they need me to sign some papers to finalize the claim. No big deal.....I went down after work, signed the form and got up to leave...the lady says"hey wait a minute, dont you want this?"
She handed me a check for $16,000 ...for 30 % disability in my wrist.
I said...."are you fucking crazy?". She said....."dont you want it?" I snatched it from her hand and beat feet out of there. I paid off the loan on my cabin and bought a new Spectre.
Ya just gotta love found money.
