Man I get so sloppy at shows like this. I had a plastic pocket with a number of Plaid Stallion cards in it that fell out of my bag. Just a shot in the dark but I thought I would mention it here just in case someone from CARD TALK found it and would be honest enough to return it. I will pay shipping and give a reward for its return.

Two years ago, I found a $100 bill on the floor at the post office. I thought about keeping it but did turn it over to one of the workers I know there. It could have been somebody's grocery money for the week. A few days later, I asked if anyone had claimed it but she said "no." The bill was gone though. Somehow, it still feels like it was the right thing to do.

No such luck. I can be very careless sometimes. Thankfully they were duplicates. Someone got very lucky.

That's a nice thought, but in NY, you are required by law to surrender any found property valued at over $20.00

Here is the law:
New York Consolidated Laws, Personal Property
Law - PEP § 252. Found property and found instruments to be deposited with police;  penalty for failure to deliver to police;  delivery to persons in possession of premises where found.

1. Except as provided in subdivision five of section two hundred fifty-six of this chapter or as otherwise prescribed pursuant to section two hundred fifty of the general municipal law, any person who finds lost property of the value of twenty dollars or more or comes into possession of property of the value of twenty dollars or more with knowledge that it is lost property or found property shall, within ten days after the finding or acquisition of possession thereof, either return it to the owner or report such finding or acquisition of possession and deposit such property in a police station or police headquarters of the city where the finding occurred or possession was acquired.

Not that many people do this but I would guess the laws might be close to the same in other states.
