and a Bill and Ted Bogus Journey broken Death ' s guitar solo <| sep |> Wait what . how does that work ? Someone please ELI 5 <| sep |> Get off your high horse . <| sep |> It ' s virtually undiscernible which person that passed through a park dropped that $ 20 . If it ' s $ 20 , 000 , there ' s probably going to be a way to find the rightful owner . You ' re not breaking the law by keeping $ 20 found on the ground . If you see the person that dropped it , or you ask around hey did you drop this ? to the people around you , then you ' ve made a reasonable attempt to find the rightful owner , given the circumstances . Yes , the amount makes a difference in what level of effort is reasonable . Is a dollar different ? A dime ? Your answer is kind of what happens when legalism and scrupulosity have a baby .
