Right you are, twerp. We've had this discussion before about people losing huge wads of cash.
Finders keepers, losers weepers.

You guys, if he kept the money he could have been caught as he was filmed. Didn't you read the article? Plus they always record at ATM's now. It's not legal to say "Findrs keepers losers weepers' LOL

I feel the same,keep the money. anyone who carries around a huge wad of cash normally isn't your regular citizen who just hates banks.

"Show me the money !!"

Not only should he have kept the money, the judge who fined him should be kicked in the ass. Now anyone who finds themself in the same predicament will and should keep the money. Who should be fined is the stupid ass who left the money where he did !!

Did he say he found the money shoved in his gas tank?

if he hadn't lied about where he found the money would it be ok that he returned it in his own town instead of where he actually found it?
