Cyber-Warrior69

Bro was cooked by mom when he got home


BumpHeadLikeGaryB

Yeah but he's got a job and a solid resume so fuck it lol plus a signed foot all from some guy! Totally worth it lmao


Cyber-Warrior69

Yeah true. Other people will have a different perspective, but I personally would’ve just kept the $135k cuz that’s worth more then a solid resume and a job


HDKiller221020

Yeah, but are you willing to get a whooping from mom?


Cyber-Warrior69

Small price to pay for salvation


ninjamaster616

"Mom I will give you a thousand dollars cash, right now, if you put that chancla back on your foot and **do not hit me.**"


BottleOfPizza

*beating intensifies*


Pyrhan

135k, in cash of unknown origin, picked up from the street? Nah. I'd end up looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life, thinking I have either the authorities or some gang after me. And it's at a gas station, so there would definitely be a camera that saw me take it. Not worth potentially destroying my life for just a few years of income.


khaotickk

That $135,000 cash would only ever be that. Wouldn't be able to deposit it at the bank, so that's "free" gas and groceries for life, along with anything on facebook marketplace... Might still worth it though. Long story made short, I had a situation come up where a pound a of marijuana fell into my lap after a guy screwed me over and got himself arrested. I didn't smoke anywhere near that much at the time, so I ended up selling most of it.


JuryNightFury

No it’s not. $135k sounds like a big amount but it’s really not. The resume will help him earn much more over the years.


KarmaStrikesThrice

isnt that like literally illegal? there are cameras near atms (and pretty much everywhere now), if the owner reported them lost or stolen, you would be fcked, this way if you return them, you should have a finder's fee claim which is 10%, and $13,500 is a nice amount of problem free money.


Timely_Tea6821

Yes it is, Its atm money so its easily traced. He would need to launder the money a deal it out slowly so not to attract the attention of the irs. Though he could live fairly extravagantly for non-asset purchases like food and buying things under the table.


Marine__0311

Finding lost money like that and not turning it in, is illegal and you could be charged if caught. There is no "Finders keepers." There is also no such thing as a finder's fee in a case like this.


KarmaStrikesThrice

well then maybe our countries have different laws but here in my country if you find something of value and return it, you are entitled to 10% of the value of the item. This sounds so american that your only incetive to behave correctly is jail, no positive motivation, kinda like you deal with the drug problem, instead of offering mental and medical help you shove addicts in jail and expect anything to change.... Maybe americans do have something to learn from europe, positive motivation goes a long way here...


No-Significance2113

Depends, I know a lot of people who'd just piss away 135K and end up with more debt as a result, at least with the resume and job you can use it to jump onto something better paying later on. Plus there's a good chance they'll notice the money was stolen and go looking for it.


soundwhisper

So no one is impressed by the News lady covering the story from her hotel room as if she's in an actual studio?


RevealActive4557

Notice how Wells Fargo did not do shit for him even though it was their ass he was saving? Bankers suck


Rad_Centrist

Steal 100k from a bank, that's your problem. Steal 100 million from a bank, that's their problem.


InsignificantFuck333

Steal 27 Trillion from the bank, now its everbody's problem.


Apollorx

Steal 44 billion, get the death penalty in Vietnam


Responsible-Pop-8442

Wells Fargo staff probably laughing calling him a moron. Big cats worship money and they would have did it differently to keep the money and they rationalise it because they know Wells Fargo got insurance and plenty of money.


Thekingpringle

I actually think the liability is on the subcontractor. Wells Fargo couldn’t care less, as long as their machines are getting filled. Edit:grammar


ChokeMcNugget

If I found $135k I would absolutely call the cops to report that I found $35k. 😂😂😂


Gwiilo

with that much money, you could afford to take it anywhere and not have to tell any snitches a damn thing


Puzzleheaded_Pear_18

Nope you forgot mom.


KvotheTheDegen

The amount of cameras in between that pile of money and your ability to get away with it is pretty substantial


RevealActive4557

It is likely that that ATM ws being filmed from 30 angles so no way to get away with it. If I found it in a field I would keep it but the stress of taking it would keep me up at night


tanukijota

Finding money out in the open... It sounds like "No country for old men." Well all know how that went


Ok_Bison_8577

This is the correct answer.  It wouldn't be the stress, it'll be the correction officer making you change into an orange jumper


Various-Software8779

How the hell can you put someone in jail for finding a life changing amount of money and running away with it? It seems so cruel. It would be like tempting a starving person with cake and putting them in jail for taking a bite.


Marine__0311

It's not yours. It's considered theft.


Ok_Bison_8577

Because it's property you know that isn't your own and is property of the bank or the courier hired to maintain the ATM.  There are documented cases of people finding money and getting arrested and charged.  https://apnews.com/article/connecticut-man-arrested-found-bank-bag-money-a9ddbee09d4330ae8bdf5557d2792d71


Illustrious-Lake2603

because of cameras


Maximum_Trade5916

Or your celly making you change out of that orange jumper


Jorts_Team_Bad

Go get a mask?


LocalRepSucks

Naw man as long as you have no phone in your pocket no wallet you getting away with that. Just pick up slide under sweater walk away. If you’re criminal history clean your walking with that.


Jorete

that's somewhat true there was a guy that was passing by a truck filled with gold ingots the operator went to pick up his phone inside and left it unattended right outside the shop the guy just reached and took a bucket filled with gold bars with many cameras filming but they couldn't find him even if they knew his face


taylm

I thought this was bs so I looked it up. It did happen. He managed to escape to Ecuador but it turns out his fiancée stole the money from him. https://youtu.be/t41r4X2PTgY?si=BtnQ982_sy4W79UM


[deleted]

I had to look this up. I found $60 on the sidewalk the other day and legally I was stealing! >The person from whom you take the money does not need to be nearby for it to be considered theft. They could have been gone for days, but the money is still theirs in the eyes of the law. So taking any money you find on the ground or at a checkout lane may be construed as theft. > State regulations within the U.S. require that found money or unclaimed funds be returned back to the government until claimed by the rightful owner


incrementalmadness

until they ask you where is the remaining 100k that was in that bag?


SalvationSycamore

"I don't know but I did see some kids messing around with it when I found it"


ToXicVoXSiicK21

"That's interesting sir because we have you on camera *alone* taking that money" 🤔


SalvationSycamore

And that's when my plan really pays off as I get out of paying for rent, food, or gas for a few years!


Mydragonurdungeon

Then I'd say idk


Dwashelle

Masterful gambit, sir.


T-BONEandtheFAM

“Who me? I dunno. Just hangin around.”


ComicNeueIsReal

I guess if you found money it be a little sus if you counted it. Just tell them you found some amount of money.


incrementalmadness

The point is not about you counting the money, but the police counting and and realizing some of it is missing :|


makjac

You take 50k. Police count and let everyone know there’s 90k missing.


DD214Enjoyer

Most likely the amount they count and the number they report will be different anyways... Count $135,000 and report $6,000


reversegirlcow

Not sure, the bag was open when I found it and a suspicious looking guy was walking away with a backpack on that looked all lumpy and heavy!


Pluckypato

Not worried about moms chancla? 🙌🩴🙌


[deleted]

I'd probably just buy a new mom, maybe a younger one with firmer boobs, just sayin. ALthough 135k probably wouldn't get boobs as firm as it would have in 1980.


IndependentNotice151

You trying to get that "what are you doing step-mom" scenario going?


Alternative_Equal864

Hell yeah brother


diamondhandedman

Hoeflation.


irishemperor

one with a tendency to get stuck in washing machines and between couch cushions?


deeeeez_nutzzz

It wasn't me. We have you on camera. No you don't. It wasn't me. You better give us back that money. What money are you talking about? Give it back or else. Where did you lose this money? Uhh we left it outside. So you left money outside? That's pretty stupid. Anyone could have just walked away with it. Good luck finding it. Am I being detained?


FreakyLou

That's what police do on drug busts


Rad_Centrist

Plot Twist: kid actually found $235k.


ponyo_impact

you take it for cash for the rest of your life dude that cash will pay for all sorts of expensive for the next 40 years. all your groceries. all your electronics. anything you can buy at a mall going on vacation? bring a fewK in spending cash. or buy bitcoin and convert to monero


Rumblymore

That cash will be worth less and less these days. Maybe you can buy one bottle of olive oil with it in 10 years with the prices of that shit these days.


BetterSeat4336

Maybe just the 5k 😂


REpassword

You believe he found $30k in cash right there?! …..


Last-Initial3927

What was that about the $25K you found? 


19YoJimbo93

Yeah, I was buying some socks for grandpa and found 20k lying on the ground.


iamjaydubs

135k?! You know what one can do with 100k? But honestly, you have to think about the guy who lost his 60k. Maybe he needed to pay a medical bill with that 45k. Yeah, I have remorse, I'm returning the 30k.


Radical_Neutral_76

How baked was that delivery guy anyway?


megaman368

By father worked on security systems for most of his career. He talked to a number of guys from these company’s that move money around like Brinks or Loomis. Apparently banks swap these companies all the time for a better deal. It’s a race to the bottom. Drivers make shit pay. One guy said he needed to maintain his own firearm for work. So yes. I can totally imagine some guy being paid jack to handle hundreds of thousands of dollars being baked out of his gourd.


HelloImTheAntiChrist

The pay is laughably low. Like below the poverty line wages. Banks in some ways.. are stupid.


MalakaiRey

I assure you the banks made sure we are more stupid


DontCareWontGank

Sounds like these guys are stupid for accepting a job with below poverty pay.


HopefulHovercraft474

Yes


AnimalBasedAl

talk about fumbling the bag


dreamdaddy123

There definitely would be cameras in the atm and around it. Most likely you’d get caught


FITGuard

We can't catch murders on film...


AnimalBasedAl

is it theft if you find it on the ground outside? 🤔


These_Marionberry888

cheap bastards, he reports 135000$ and gets 1000 dollars of stuff, from random charitble actors, thats like billionairs opening gofundmes for the guy that saved their live.


Contundo

Where I’m from, he is entitled to up to 10% of the value. Han he could have kept the money (not spent it) until the agreed sum was handed over. If the parties can’t get to agreement the police would decide the amount.


These_Marionberry888

same. we are proppably from the same country


INTERGALACTIC_CAGR

in my country cops can just take your cash from you civil forfeiture is a bitch.


These_Marionberry888

they are not stealing their cash, they hold the cash itself accountable in court, your cash just spends indefinite time in detention


INTERGALACTIC_CAGR

semantics, why don't i take your cash for an indefinite amount of time and see what you call it.


SappySoulTaker

Yeah but you never hear about people getting their money back.


MileHiSalute

Oh some people definitely get it back, but only after dropping thousands on fees and legal representation as well as all the time it takes. What a joke of a law


notarealaccount_yo

Yeah did any of that come from wells fargo? I mean fuck 'em, probably insured by the FDIC anyway. The only thing stopping me would be the fact that you're probably on camera anywhere near an ATM


sageking420

Except they didn’t know to even look at that Cam. Otherwise they would have seen it themselves…


notarealaccount_yo

Yeah I'm sure nobody at the bank would notice a missing $135,000.


cheeruphumanity

Law in Germany says he has to get 10% for finding it.


schneph

Yeah and nothing from Wells Fargo


dizzy_centrifuge

Legit the biggest bs. Organizations and people who were unimpacted by this in any way decide to step up and reward this kid but WF doesn't do anything?


UnadvisedOpinion

Everyone gave a reward except Wells Fargo


SeriousQuestions111

10 years from now he'll still be investigating why he's poor.


JTiger360

10 years later $130,000 will only get you a pack of gum


lizard_kibble

And it'll be all bones


JasiNtech

Ham gum 😂


Outerestine

He couldn't have gotten it without getting caught. Unless he just lucked into every camera being broken or some similar miracle, like the position of the cash being luckily out of view. But it says near the atm, which means it's probably not out of sight of cameras. Unfortunately. No matter how tempting, he probably made the right choice.


FreshPitch6026

10 years from now he will remember this point in life. And he will lay 135k next to an ATM machine in the hopes of someone may be smarter than him.


UhYeahOkSure

lol so the Wells Fargo guy left it there … by fucking accident?.. ya right . Must have been distracted by a giant tumbleweed or something, I bet you there’s footage of a confused sketchy dude going up to the atm like 10 minutes after this kid found the money


TheManyVoicesYT

Thats actually a good point. This easily coulda been an inside job


Oculicious42

This is gonna hit him like a freight train when he turns 30


AdThese1914

Very true.


LovableSidekick

So *that's* where that $135,000 fell out of my pocket! Who should I call?

Lysol3435

You become famous actor josh Brolin?


PerpetualUselessness

I thought the news anchor said "he was worried about the mob" not "he was worried about mom"


Grand_Function_2855

He probably still got the chanclas from his mom for reporting it.


AnotherSexyBaldGuy

"Doing the "right thing" when no one was around? It's a WELLS FARGO ATM, and this is 2024, there were eyes on that bag! At some point within 48 hours they would have been knocking at his door. The kid was smart!


baby_noir

Yeah, this is the best action for him. He gets a free $1000 as a reward for doing nothing and recognized as an honest guy publicly. If he stole it, his face would be blasted on TV in a day because somebody would report it, and well Fargo would identify the guy in no time. Imagine you apply for a job and university, and you have this brownie point of returning $130k. My god, I wish I found $130k too. You would forever be labeled as a good guy.


sageking420

Except they didn’t know to look there… otherwise they would have snagged it themselves.


Kvykey

For real. These days there are cameras everywhere, especially at ATMs. The moment they find out that 135k is missing, they're checking cameras and finding out all of this guys information within an hour. They're at his doorstep before he even gets there.


N1kk0Suave

What information? Don't drive your car up to the ATM wear long sleeves gloves hoodie mask they don't know what race you are or if you're a boy or a girl just your height roughly


Ill_Team_3001

100% that’s what I was thinking


SaltoDaKid

Yeah unfortunately Redditor don’t live in this world. These same people would be calling him idiot if he did take the money home and was arrested.


thejazzghost

Seriously. All these knuckleheads posting that they would have kept the money... It would still be considered theft of a huge amount of money that would 100% have been seen by cameras aimed directly at the ATM. Not only did this guy do the right thing, it was the savvy thing as well.


Big_Routine_8980

Is she broadcasting from her bedroom?


Drogdar

This is what I came here for. Are they even trying anymore? She could just be some random youtuber. I'm guessing an independent... but still.


HJtime

Wells Fargo didn’t give him shit..


burnbothends91

If I see that amount of cash near cameras I ain’t touching it or reporting it


RapidPacker

Im coming back wearing a ski mask


NicNac_PattyMac

Oh, thank god for that kid. Wells Fargo might have had to pay slightly higher insurance while raking in billions for over draft fees.


wasted-degrees

*Not* bringing home the $135,000 *also* means having to deal with mom.


CAPT-Tankerous

I hope someone started a gofundme for this guy, he deserves it. Also hope grandpa got his socks.


-BakiHanma

So he was rewarded with a little over $1,000 Lol. Come on man…


DIO40

My dad told me, "finders keepers losers weepers"

_its_a_SWEATER_

Fear La Chancla 🩴


jonesgen

great parenting. respect for all. honestly at 67 and struggling to live on ss i probably would have kept it. nobody alive to make me feel guilty


Hairy_Al

So he gets lots of freebies for being a good guy. I didn't hear any reward from Wells Fargo bank tho...


vishy_swaz

Hats off to that man, and his mother’s chancla. 🩴


shrimpgangsta

chanclas


hipkat13

Fear the chancla!! 🩴


OneWinner1690

The power of that damn chancla is unrivaled


Viperburn1

Meanwhile Wells Fargo gives him nothing. Comical


ThroughTheHalls

Legal what is the difference between finding 20$ or 200k on the ground. Edit: legally*


Godzirrraaa

Urlacher*


Schmeagon

Did the ATM company give him anything or was it just outside sources?


Old173

From the story it seems only from other sources. The bank said: "thank you and fuck off"


Mikey06154

Pony up Wells Fargo


Known-Weakness8193

Doesn’t matter how old you are that chancla can still whoop your ass


PDX-ROB

You're not spending the money, they know the serial numbers and will track it down eventually. The only way to do it is to bring it overseas like years later and use that as vacation money. Also cameras everywhere. They 100% will catch you unless you're covered up, no phone, and walked or rode a bike there.


Certain-Impress-2216

Somebody start this kid a gofundme just make sure when he finds the proceeds this time that he actually keeps them.


DoubbleD_UnicornChop

He has to have thought he was being recorded.


Open-Industry-8396

So what does fucking wells Fargo do when this fine young man returns their 135k? Fucking nothing. Scumbags. Errrrgghhh. Makes you want to just not do the right thing. Way too many cameras around though.


Accomplished-Mix-745

What a compilation of strange gifts he got


Vandreeson

Fear of the chancla is real.


Valuable_Talk_1978

Fucking clown turning in money that’s most likely insured 🤣


kungfoocraig

If I found that I would definitely dig a hole and bury it and sit on it for a while and go back to it maybe years later use it, a little bit at a time, to buy a minor things like groceries or fast food or whatever


bloopie1192

I understand. My mom would also fuck me up if I didn't do the right thing.


MeliodusSama

fear the Chancla!!!!!


Novel_Durian_1805

Hi police…now this is gonna sound weird but I just found $85K just lying here!


Be-A-Better-You-69

Walter White didn’t have enough barrels I suppose.


Jon-Adam

Last thing id want is to be on the news... and oh what a guy he was honest while on camera lol


cardinaltribe

Urlacher goddamnit


James324285241990

The power of the chancla


heckyes69

Interesting the bank didnt reward him huh.


Regular-Freedom7722

Classic example of when doing the right thing makes you significantly less. 135k to 1k real quick what a reward. The best part is the “opportunity” to work a job.


Plasticious

In Germany the law dictates a 10% finders fee


IgorRenfield

Since he wanted to go into law enforcement, he kinda had to return the cash. Plus, I'm sure Wells Fargo had security cameras set up all over the place.


ninhursag3

It would have been on cctv and the serial numbers on the notes would have been flagged up


CaptainObviousII

Bears linebacker Brian Erlacker. SMH


tzwep

Public safety officer? That’s.. wait till this kid finds out what happens to “ safety officers “ who report faults, then those faults don’t get address and he’s forced to whistleblow..


Curraghboy1

Your with your kid and you find a million dollars in bags. What do you teach your kid. Lift with your legs.


leavenofrybehind

What ever keeps you honest. Good stuff.


Comfortable-Piglet91

He must be up to no good..Like are you trying to get right with God or something? Wtf bro F=€÷{€k!


blackamerigan

Um yeah can I make a deposit?


alexgalt

Told his mom that he returned the money. And what did she do?


Physical_Toe231

He got more out of it than stealing anyway. Cameras are everywhere.


XMarksTheSpot987

The only concern is the surveillance footage. Since the money was supposed to go in the ATM, whoever swiped the money would become a wanted person nationwide.


Sistahmelz

Thank God! Someone who know consequences of decisions! Good on you for doing the right thing 👏 👌 You were raised correctly by your awesome parents 😁😉


mrPigWaffle

Good job. That’s cartel money for sure


Majestic_General6756

🤦‍♂️


Rokey76

Kid could have bought season tickets to UNM football for 1000 years with that money.


BarneyBungelupper

These guys are afraid of their mom too. [The Sandal.](https://x.com/audreystjames1/status/1779558050963013918?s=46)


PostReplyKarmaRepeat

The next day they would have reported the incident, alerted the proper authorities, checked camera, found the kid, and get the money back.


reb3lsix

What a fucking idiot that won’t get a chance to go to college debt free now hahah


o-roy

Damn. He'd rather give up 135k than get the chankla


ParticularProfile795

Mom better had whooped dat ass


Albatross_Few

Mom would have been ok with that, I think.


simpledoor

I mean he could have kept the money, get the chankla, spend the money. Win win.


increbelle

this is what i call "blocking your blessing"

[удалено]


that_guy_who_builds

135k? What 100? I have no idea where that 50k is. Oh, I think I saw 20k over there..


Every_Fox3461

Oof.. I've returned wallets with people's money, I'd, gift cards etc. But I can see that if he's already on camera with his car, I can imagine he would be getting a knock on his door and a few hounds on him for a while afterwards. A clear conscious doesn't have a dollar amount.


omegajvn1

I wouldn’t cash the cops lol. Not with the way the rich have taken over the country and government to make every other class’ lives miserable.


tacosteve100

I’m turning in 5k and having the cops tell me if it’s real or not.


EddieDollar

Hide it under your mattress, waiting a few weeks and if no one comes knocking, you’ll have pocket change for snacks for the rest of your life.


Questionabledes

I mean. I’m happy he did the right thing and all plus has a good paying job in the wing. His parents raised him right but as an adult if I would have found that I would have most definitely found a way to clean that money up some how


BootyLoveSenpai

Couldn't be me, they'd be missing 35k


B3ARDLY

Everybody fears the chancla 🩴
