The whole question is preposterous.
If someone finds a large amount of $$$ in a wallet with I.D. then it behoves the finder to return it to the OWNER !
However, finding $$$ (in say an envelope) with no way to track the owner is another story.
First (and foremost) no one (including the state) knows I have found it. I would wait a few days to see if some story emerges as to someone losing the "correct" amount. If so I can probably track the owner.
However, under no circumstance, am I going to alert the authorities or announce I have found the $$$.
That would be tanamount to announcing: "I found $10,000 ... would the owner(s) please line up in a double line to come and collect it !
Simply turning it over to a security guard, bank, police, government ... it ain't gonna happen. How stupid do I look ?

NAH, you don't look stupid at all, a coupla others on here look pretty stupid consistently, so no worries there. What you stated is pretty accurate to reality, well said PG!
