This is a good question...
Would YOU hand in the $14,000 if you found it on a Bus? I like to think I would, but it would depend on the mood I was in that day I suppose.

I would but I would also Feel as guilty as hell knowing that it could only help the loved ones for which I am responsible.
It is stealing, though and I would only take it in a situation of extreme desperation. If my kiddies were starving ...
Finders keepers. Prove I got it...
...and I have turned in large amounts before. I was better off then. Now, I might think about it....

Maybe, you could think better of your fellow Canadians.........ya think? :roll:
Maybe, it was a security test done by the TTC to see what would happen? You don't think that security people might like to have data like that? Retail store chains use confederate customers all of the time to check the friendliness and eficiency of staff. I think that it is weaslelly, myself but it is done, a lot. Is the TTC capable of the same sort of behaviour? You say "no". I hope that you are right.
I worked at a shipping company.
The Brass would occasionally float see-through envelopes stuffed with cash down the conveyor belt to test the employees' trustworthiness.

It's done. The above TTC driver passed with flying colours and he deserves recognition ...although, doing the "right thing" should be enough reward, maybe.
Oh, I would definitely think about it, hardly be human not too, LW - especially $14,000. It would be tempting wouldn't it?
I am more interested in who would be carrying around that much money in a paper bag and, why? Why do they have a letter from Homeland Security in their possession? Why were they denied entry to the US? I'd like to see the answers to those questions.
Digging a little deeper..........
"Toronto Police Sgt. Eric Goldsmith said the stash “was wrapped in a bag with a bunch of identifying property in it. The lady riding the bus turned it over to the bus driver, who turned it over to security, who turned it over to police."
"There was no word on whether the driver will receive an award for turning in the large sum of cash. “Our drivers are always finding things themselves and are regularly turning them in,” Kosmack said. “I don’t know if there’s anything special (about this case).”
$14Gs in cash, Homeland Security note found on Toronto transit bus
Nope, no word of a security test here, CC. Seems pretty straight forward to me, lady finds bag on bus seat turns it over to driver and from there it ends up in the hands of the police who give it back to the owner. No word on who the owner is, but no complaints about being ripped off either.
Somehow I doubt the police handed the money over without asking a few pointed questions. If in fact they did hand it over.
Well, good on her, then. That's another reason why I'm proud to live in Canada. The guy beside me is probably an "all-right" type that isn't going to rob me or shoot me. Muggings are rare, here.
So is CSIS or anyone going to talk to her? Who rides a bus with that kind of cash? What's the purpose of that and who was she going to give it to?
What’s even more peculiar, though, was the accompanying letter from U.S. Homeland Security indicating the mysterious owner of the money was not allowed to enter the United States.
When asked about the Homeland Security notice, Goldsmith said they investigated and deemed it was “not suspicious.”

I'm beside myself wondering about the indiviual who misplaced his or her cash and identidy in a bag on a bus in Toronro was it?
