what would you do if you found a large sum of money?

Ummm what money?

Turn it into the cops, and if you're lucky then no one will claim it within the standard amount of holding time, after which it will be yours and you'll have a clear conscience. If you turn it in to the cops, here are the possible outcomes:

A) A person in need reclaims it and acts grateful to you for basically saving their life.

B) A reasonably well off person claims it and gives you a very small reward which you get to spend and also feel good about morally.

C) A reasonably well off person claims it and gives you no reward.

D) No one claims the money and after a waiting period you get all the money and get to spend it with a clear conscience.

E) The cops "claim" it is drug money and keep it for themselves.

Odds of the following happening:
A) 0
B) 0
C) 0
D) 0
E) 100

it sounds like drug money. It probably got tossed out the window running from the cops. it could be evidence. might be a good idea to call the cops. personally i would never want money that was gotten by destroying my neighborhood.

my sister found a purse with 4000.00 USD in it once. it was in a grocery store parking lot that was in the same plaza as a bank. a women had taken the money out to remodel her kitchen. she went into the grocery store after she had stopped in the bank and left her purse in a carriage.

my sister contacted the owner and returned it. they were an older couple. for a reward they offered my sister 20.00 USD. which i thought was pretty funny but the reward money was never the point so. anyway they were very very happy to get it back.

A purse and a zip-lock bag of cash. I would be willing to bet the money the OP found was indeed drug money and not money someone took out to re-model their kitchen. By taking the money to the Police he isn't helping anyone other than giving the Police drug money that the department will take for police activities.
