Re: you would think honesty would pay better

With that much money,I could buy enough gas to get to work for a year.
I think like Hornet and that kid did what was right.But whoever owns that money is a greedy ungreatful prick.

If it had of been my money,I'd at least have offered him a once in a life time hunting trip.

I would only take the cookies and tell the person who gave the $20 to keep it.

Re: you would think honesty would pay better

I'd probably give it back and regret it later.

This is awful nice though:
http://www.carden-aircraft.com/

Those prices are just the box of sticks,carbon fiber, fiberglass and a blueprint to build it. A complete plane of that caliber is $10K easily.

I could have 10 of them and money left over for a phat trip to Vegas.

I do. If I had all the stuff I needed when I started building it, I could be done in 6--8 months. An expert who has built a lot of these same designs (Carden) could do it in 2-3 months. I am a good builder, but I do it very slowly and methodically.

I just can't afford it. I doubt I'll ever have a plane like that. Unless I hit Powerball tonight.

Re: you would think honesty would pay better

He should have had a lawyer or banker hold it until they found the proper owner, in exchange for a part of the finders fee. I imagine the finders fee that way would have been much more substantial than he received handling it on his own. Ethically correct, morally, well?
