    I think that when the man found the money he should have went to the police and returned the money right then and there.

I mean if he would have only found like 100 dollars he wouldnt have to return it but 50,000. I dont think the lady should sue, but I do think that the money should be returned to the owner. Put yourself in her shoes would if you had lost the 50,000 you would want it back. Wouldnt you?

    accually i lost that money and i do want it back!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I agree. If the man hadn't found it, it would be burned or sitting at the bottom of the ocean right now. Who would she sue then, the garbage man?

    And i get such a kick out of that McDonald's suit. If anyone actually wins a suit like that, I am gonna pack on 100 lbs and sue my local supermarket for selling me all that food.

    If it was found in the trash then no, he should not be sued. After all your rubbish when it is outside is public property. Therefore no suing should ensue. It's similar in stupidity to those people sueing maccy d's for making them fat when they themselves ate excessive quantities of their fatty food.

    Sounds to me like her lawsuit should be against the maid. She is the one that made the mistake.

    If it was thrown away she can't get it back...it's just like in poker, once you advance your cards foreward they are considered dead...a person can't pick them back up and say 'Oh, I didn't realize I had a flush, I wanna take them back.'

    A jobless Argentine who found $50,000 buried in trash and promptly bought a house, two cars and a corner shop is now being sued by a woman claiming her maid mistakenly had thrown out the cash.



    "All I can say is that I am no criminal," Paulo Altamirano, a 46-year-old man who ekes out a living by collecting street garbage in the central city of Cordoba, was quoted as saying on Thursday by local DyN news agency.


    Emilia Mascoy, a 70-year-old store owner, brought a lawsuit for fraud and demanded her money be returned. She says a maid mistakenly threw out the box of cash during a spring cleaning at her home, DyN reported.


    A massive economic crisis in 2002 forced thousands of Argentines known as "cartoneros" to earn their living by collecting and then selling street garbage such as cardboard.
