Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

i don't understand why one would even broadcast such a find. just keep the cash and keep mum.

You'd definitely have to declare it to the IRS minimum. But yeah, a national news story? You're just asking for someone to 'find' proof it's theirs; if not inviting a mugging/robbery.

I'm sorry but if I magically find a box with $100K in it, the IRS is not on the list of people I tell.

I'm pretty sure I never told them about the motherboard I bought back in 2002 off NewEgg and I didn't pay sales tax on it.

Depending on your financial situation; an exta 100k suddenly appearing in your finances will turn some heads.

Missed sales tax on a small purchase; not so much.
