What’s the rules on finding cash?

[Deleted member 18718]

Put £500 in a charity box and spend the rest.

Let’s say you knew the old boy and have a contact address for his relatives. You contact them and arrange for them to collect it

Let’s say, you have no idea who the old boys relatives are, then there is nothing you can do

I have no idea who they are. I could ask the neighbours but if that turns up nothing then what do I do?

Spend it on hookers and blow

Blokes dead. Stash it for a spell, then put it on us to be back in the prem within 5 years.

It has $2k in it.

Around $2k

You’re supposed to contact the estate of the previous occupant, what you’re describing is theft m8. You know it’s not yours and have a reasonable idea of who it belongs to. So I would either delete this thread and keep it, or get in touch via your solicitor, or wait for plod to come knocking.

It’s all hypothetical

Pretend you work for a major high street bank and deny all knowledge of the money to anyone who enquires.

 

[houst69]

Post the info on a message board so that if any body realises they have lost it, the police have written evidence that someone has found it

Around $2k

Oh well in that case spend it on hypothetical whores is my advice.

Keeping it would be like grave robbing. Get it spent and change your avatar to Burke and Hare.

Is the OP making stuff up again?

 

[JAZZMANB]

PM me your address then


No f***ing about eh!!

I always try and do what I thinks right. In this instance I have no idea what’s the right thing to do

I know what you mean ,if the old owners were still alive they wouldn't have left it .I would consider it part of the house deal .Nicer than him haunting you

The old lad ain’t gonna miss it is he, he’s brown bread!

Get it spent on a nice house warming gift to yourself, a load of coke and an ‘escort’ for the evening to christen every room and flat surface.

It’s all just hypothetical questions

Say you moved into a new place. Then around 4 months later you took the shelves out of the kitchen cupboards and an envelope dropped down and it was full of cash.

Let’s say it had $2k in the envelope.

The old boy who lived here previously passed away.
What’s the right thing to do?

Did you buy the property? Can’t be theft if you bought it I wouldn’t imagine. Renting different altogether I suppose as its taking from a property you don’t own.

There could be a clause on the sale document as some properties are listed "sold as seen"? Could be the case as the previous owner passed away.

 

[filfy]

This probably never happened

 

[Super Elmo]

You could argue it is a chattel and part of the house sale and therefore yours.

 

[Dave Herbal]

No way would I hand any cash in. The dream is to find a couple of hundred grand in a holdall in the woods whilst out cycling.
Shove it under the mattress and launder it by spending it in pubs in lieu of real cash.

Once found a wallet belonging to an asylum seeker with a load of cash in it. Trousered the lot - well, it’s our taxpayers money anyway.

Definitely never ya honour
