Man Turns in Found Bank Bag Containing $17000, Gets Fined $500
Earlier this month, Robert Adams , 54, found a Chase Bank bag that contained $17,000 near a Walgreens ATM. Being the nice guy that he is, he drove over to a Chase Bank and turned the bag in, rather than make it his partner on a spending spree. Instead of a hero’s welcome for being honest and turning in the found $17,000, he ended up being fined $500.
When Adams initially turned in the bank bag, he claimed he found the bag outside a newspaper stand in Rolling Meadows, when in actuality, he found the bank bag near a Walgreens ATM in Midlothian, which police confirmed via security footage. It’s alright if you cannot locate Rolling Meadows or Midlothian — the point is that Adams technically lied about where he found the bag and thus, filed a false report, which is why he ended up being fined for turning in a load of found money. Adams claimed he lied about where he found the bag simply because it was a hot day and he just wanted to go home and he felt more comfortable filing the report with Rolling Meadows police. “I wasn’t looking for a reward. I was just doing the right thing,” he said, and now probably knows to just take the next bank bag he finds that is stuffed to the brim with cash for himself instead of turn it in.

Hopefully the bank will step up and reimburse the fine, otherwise this is encouragement for finders of their lost money to just not tell them about it. Â When I was a kid I found a money belt in a motel parking lot – don’t recall getting a reward (my mom turned it in) and some years ago I found a $50 bill on the ground of a gas station – I turned it in to the cashiers but regretted it, my thinking had been whomever dropped it might come back to ask about ‘lost and found’, but I bet they kept it. Â At Street Vibrations in Reno a few years ago (a big motorcycle event that people travel to) my wife and I found a small luggage bag on the back of a Harley with a huge wad of cash rolled up and visible – likely from when the riders had pulled cash to pay for breakfast (were at a casino that basically was only used for a discounted breakfast to attendees). Â We turned it in but being a casino we knew there were no shortages of cameras and were confident the staff would handle the cash properly.
