Found $800 dollars in a parking lot on my morning walk to my AA meeting. This is not the first time I have found money in a parking lot outside this small Casino/bar, but it was the first time I found this much.
I gave some of it to a new AA member who needed new clothes for his new job and donated the rest to our club's Sober Living Home that helps recovering Alcoholics. I have a feeling the person who got drunk and lost the money might seek refuge there one day.

Evidence of Karma! And congratulations to you going to those meetings. AA has done many good things (I've close family connection).

You mean you didn't go into the casino and start asking people, "Hey, is this your $800 I found?" :D

Good for you giving away the money you found. I do believe good deeds done are rewarded eventually.

I have all the money in the world as long as I do not need to buy anything. My needs are very small. The only reason why I walk through that parking lot is to bypass a dangerous intersection with everyone trying to get to work in the morning. I walk everywhere now. And it is kind of strange that the less I started driving the lower oil/gas prices went. Only time I drove my car was to visit the doctor or buy large bag of dog food. Maybe it was me that caused the excess supply of oil. Just think how low gas prices would go if everyone walked or rode a bike, not to mention on clean the air would be, and maybe no need for websites like this.

Awesome!! Way to think of others before yourself. Wish more people had a thought process like yourself :)

That was a very honorable thing you did, not many people would have done the same thing if in your position. Good Job!
