Assume there is no indication of ownership of the money and it's unclear whether it was lost or stolen.

A family finds nearly $1 million in cash in the middle of the road. Police want to know how the money ended up there

A Virginia family was just trying to get out of the coronavirus blues by taking a long drive when they found what turned out to be nearly $1 million in cash in the middle of the road.

I can't think of any legal reason someone would have that much cash. I'd turn it

Where is their office to turn it in? I don't think the cartel will enjoy having

I only found 800K.

The only problem with that strategy is that someone will know you have 200k

There was only 1 bag.

It would be safe to assume the bills were from a bank and were marked

Can't you leave it with the police with a caveat to have it returned

Yes - but it's unclear whether you will ever get it back

It's pretty clear. You are never getting it back.

Keep it, but try to find owner. That seems to be the legal requirement as well:

Biggest plot hole in movie history. First thing you do is count the money...

Also the same physics that shows bullets penetrating into deep waters. Movies..

the best solutions are 1) turn it in or 2) keep it as long as no one else knows

If I was 60-70+ I would risk keeping/hiding it.. younger than that I would call

Ever seen “A Simple Plan”? Turn it in to the police ASAP.

First thing I’d do is search the bags vigorously for a transponder

Contact attorney first, police second

I'd hire a lawyer.

I love that last option because it's literally exactly what I thought

If it is clear that it was from the Postal Service and the inner bags were clearly marked where the money came from and

Depends on the amount. $1M probably turn it in. $100k I'd probably keep it.
