you tend to find notes lying around bookies

Dinamo Kiev in-play against Inter at 1.5 or lower while leadig 1-0 in 2nd half

Inter literally had been ripping them apart

It was like money in the corner there YOU JUST HAD TO PICK IT UP

thinly veiled tramps thread :)

€150 in three crispy 50's outside a shop once. Nice little brucie bonus :D

that sounds like a cash in hand job. poor bugger that lost it. probably his weekly pay packet

Found a fiver a couple of Saturdays ago.

Who was the forumite who put up threads showing what he found?

Found £20 when at Pontins in 1986, I was only 12 and it was the day after Liverpool beat Everton in the Cup Final.
I lived like a king for a day.

i can't remember EGG, but I quite enjoyed that fred

Thieving facking postie :)

It's winding me up now.

Maybe someone could have a look and bring a thread back.

I would but I don't know how to.

:^0

do you recall what it was called?

oh sh1t fell for it.**t :)

I'm pretty sure it was a redbag thread.

He was a postie. Began with Z I think.

Not that khunt Zaubi though.

:^0

I found 2 x 20p coins on the pavement while walking under a railway bridge yesterday. Spent it almost immediately on a pint of milk. A very useful saving.

mallett, £20 was an amount you could do a lot with in 1986. Especially as a nipper.

Years ago found a fiver at the bus stop. I was just getting on the bus when i saw a fiver in the bin tied to bus stop.

Also spotted a fiver on the shelf in a betting shop. Someone else also saw it. He covered it with his betting slip then picked both up. Crafty sod.

Come on, who was the forumite who detailed his finds? Usually 1p and 2p pieces?

Began with Z possibly?

Found 5k in 50s one night in a nightclub,was done up with elastic band and was on the floor when I sat at a table.

Had a look around nobody around so picked it up. Went to the toliets only to find out they were the worst snide 50s I had ever seen..................gutted

:D

did you still try use them real deal??

I find about £50 a year, on average. Best ever was a £50 note 2 years ago next to a chain link fence on an industrial estate.

Had two fivers in the past fortnight from the same car park, but can also go about 3 months without finding any notes. Shrub beds in car parks are the best places.

Notes must fly out of pockets when people get their car keys out.

No,they were that bad

found a £50 note at ascot races,it gave me a nervous few minutes has i paid for a meal in windsor with it and as soon has i gave the waitress the money i couldnt stop fretting in case it was forged.when i was a kid i also pushed one of the old night safes outside a bank and it opened full of money,i was so shocked i ran off.

i have found £20 notes twice, when on nights out, must have fallen out of drunken people's pockets

As a broke unemployed teenager one new years eve i was feeling depressed.
All my mates were off to the pub and i was potless. Then as i was walking down the street a twenty pound note literally blew towards me.

I quickly pocketed the money and went down to the globe to wait for my mates , it was still early , only about six oclock and i was bored and feeling like a spare part being on my own , i made my usual mistake of starting to play the fruit machine , lost the lot in about ten minutes.

Was so peeved off i slunk out and went home for the night. Such an ejit

Has your luck changed since, Lippy?

500 euro note on the slopes in verbier once.

The wallet on a string on the Glastonbury film is funny.

£20 in kwik save about 6 years ago

when i worked in ibiza 9 years ago i was sat next to a lad on holiday he was w@nkered he got up and left then i noticed he had left his wallet on the floor, it had about £100 in sterling and about £300 in pesates :)

such a thief!

well if i didnt take it someone else would ;) hard times in them days only earned £2 an hour in the bars..

I would always return a wallet to its owner if possible.

Found a USB stick full of documents and graphic designs outside my house. Went all through looking for the owners address.

Found an email address,contacted them,got an address, sent it to them.

Didn't even get a thank you by email!

went through all looking for address?

aye right, porn more like

my brother found a wallet in the local takeaway once with about £50 in and credit cards and stuff , he drove 3 miles to the guys house and returned the lot and never got so much as a thanks. he said if he ever found another he would keep it.

Just because one person is a khunt doesn't make everybody a khunt.

i know but what happens if he found another and the other person turned out to be a khunt aswell, he would be gutted :^0

Just because 2 people are khunts

next time I find a wallet, am gonna somehow ring the wallet owner up and say "I have your wallet, leave £20 by the war memorial, and I'll drop your wallet 2 hours later"

:^0 egg

Found £240 in a wallet once - the only other thing in there was a small card saying 'Happy Birthday to me' and no other id - kept it and spent it on ale - was great

I lost £30 out my pocket 2 weekends ago :-(

Was clerking for a bookmaker at Salisbury a while back and just after a race with people walking past the back of the joint £75 floated down an landed at my feet. The horse race had been won by an 11/4 shot so I guess it was someone's £20 at the price. Don't know where it came from.

i saw a bloke drop his wallet and i give him it back, he give me an apple.

£50 in the snow last winter, inbetween my house and the local shop, only popped out for some milk and came home with £50

happy days

how did you buy milk with a 50 pound note?

it was 2 x £20 and 1 x £10

i bought the milk with the £1 coin I took to the shop !! lol

lesson for us all here, when there is 3 foot of snow outside don't be afraid to venture out to the shops, you never know what you might find !!!

i found a purse recently on the street well couple of months ago opened it up there was around £170 inside with a little note nxt to it showing her bills each week poor lass she didnt have much left at the end of week i slipped another £20 in rang her and gave her it back the joy on her face when shed got her purse back made me feel human again.

If only, very nice gesture. Cant buy it.

i surprised myself tbh

About 15 years ago I found a paper bag with a £20 note and a pair of scuzzy women's panties!! :)

i would have kept the pants and binned the cash.

Biggest find ever!

Not in the street, but at the San Marino Grand Prix, a good few years ago.

The guys were sick of each others company, so we had all gone on seperate walkabouts,
in the 95 degree heat.

Some of the local types erect scaffolding platform at the edge of the circuit for a better view.

I was walking past, a 2 storey masterpiece, when the biggest fattest wallet, stuffed with cash and cards, fell right at my feet.

I looked up and the guys all had there backs to me and there was nobody else nearby.

Like a complete pratt, I tapped one, on the first level on his back, and held up the wallet, which he took whilst shaking his head as it wasn't his!

I don't know what the currency was but, even if it was Lira, there was a serious bundle!

I found an Omega Seamaster watch on the floor once. Altough Karma played it's hand when I got drunk and fell asleep in Stratford Bus Station a few years later and woke up without it.

£5 my best found one on two occasions. My dad found two tenners outside a bookies about a month ago.

Walking towards the Best Mate enclosure at Cheltenham a few years ago one of my mates picked up a fake £20 note. It was such an abvious fake 'cos everyone was walking past it and not bothering with it. On closer inspection I said he would never get away with it and would be lucky not to get arrested. The people selling racecards must be real stupid 'cos on of them accepted it.

I bent to pick up a pound coin from the decking outside a pub, and the bloody thing had been glued down!

"last year i decided to pick up all the coins i saw on the way to work for one year, i work no more than 2 to 3 days aweek.
any way this includes notes my grand total came total of £137.17. I started because of a radio programe id herd one morning befor going to work about how much can be found on the streets. my total could have been a lot higher but the two walets ifound with lots in i returned to their owners".

I once saw a five pound note in the street.

'I'm a tenner' it said.

Yes Often,
Also 2 Wallets on Buses,
One man had somehow chased after the bus and came charging on for it, it was bursting with cash, I never had a chance to look inside and he Never gave me a reward.

There's some disreputable scoundrels on this forum.

I found a twenty outside the library a few years ago and I took it in and told the woman behind the counter. I said if anybody came in for it to give it back to them and if they didn't to stick it in their book fund. She didn't tell me they didn't have one so it must have gone to a good home.
