Umm ..... $2,755,300 in hundred dollar bill denomination is only 27,553 bills (not "over 200,000").

I did that math in my head. :wink:

Right is right and wrong is wrong - the right thing to do is turn it it.

I think the question we all have to ask here is, "What would Jimmy Buffett do?".

You notify the police that you have recovered this money and that you are sticking in an interest bearing account at the bank. If no one shows up to claim it, you get the money and then interest and if they do show up and claim it, you get the interest.

I see no point in letting it sit in a police evidence locker where something bad could happen to it when I could put into several FDIC insured accounts at various banks where it would be safe. :-)
