It is not a true story just an imaginary one

Last week I found a bag containing 10,000 dollars in a back alley. Today I'm very sorry I found that money. Let me tell you why.

I was invited to my friend's birthday party. It was her 60th birthday. It was a huge party and all the cars blocked the driveway and the road. I found a parking spot in an alley. The party was great and it was late when I left the party.

I unlocked my car and saw a plastic bag between my tires. I pushed it away with my foot. Then I saw some money looking out. I took a closer look. This plastic bag was crowded with money in all sizes. I took it with me and drove home.

The next morning was my school day so I drove to Port Elgin. After classes I stopped at the police station to report the found money. They asked me a lot questions like "Why didn't I come last night or early this morning?" "Did I want to keep it?" "Where exactly did I find it ?" "What was I doing in this place?"

Then he told me, there was a robbery in Sackville the night before. Two men had stolen $20,000 from a grocery store. In this bag was only $10,000, so the other half was still missing. I had to drive with the officer to the alley and show him where exactly I had found it and at what time I went home. The officer wrote a statement which I signed.

I came home from school late that afternoon. Then I had to explain to my husband where I had came from. If I had known that trouble before, it would have been better to keep the money.

But after all I did get finder's fee of $1,000!
