Writer's Block: Saints and sinners

What's not mine is not mine. I'll go down for a penny (keep your mind out of the gutter, you pervs) - figure I bend over 100 times and I've got a dollar that I didn't have before, and some good exercise to boot. Last time I found a ten-dollar bill fluttering around on the sidewalk, I gave it to the first homeless person I saw. Money is a flow. In order to bring life, it must come in, and it must go out.
If I found a significant wad of cash on the ground, it would go to the local authorities. Maybe the local authorities would have a precinct party with it, maybe not - but I'd know I had done the right thing.
I have to admit that if I found hundreds of thousands of dollars, I'd be hoping nobody stepped up to claim it - the economy being what it is, a windfall would be lovely... but the odds of that are about as small as winning the lottery.
