I read this article at work to-day and found myself thinking about it on the way home. s'a short one so I'll post it here in full :VIENNA, Austria - A tax collector in the southern Austrian city of Graz accidentally left $28,000 in cash in a black attache case he placed on top of a toilet in the men's room of a local restaurant Thursday, police said.
By the time he realized it was missing and went back, the cash was gone, authorities said.
As of Friday, no one had turned up with the money, prompting police in the city 120 miles south of Vienna to issue an appeal for its return.
I'm normally a fairly decent person. If I find something, I'll take some pains to see it returned. But this? Man.... this is tax money. And everyone hates the taxman. We know it's a necessity, but we don't like it. I don't know anyone who enjoys paying his or her taxes.
I suspect I'd have kept the money too. Heh.
Natural introvert, learned extrovert.

He probably kept it himself and just said he lost it. I have a large distrust for government workers.
Peace
Hi Luna,
Nope - not sure. I'd have been torn between doing the decent thing and giving my parents a major treat!
Hey Greg,
Hard to tell in these cases. Some of them are real idiots though.
