What would you do if you found $140,000 on the road?
Before you answer, consider this: it is all in unmarked $20 bills. No one can trace it back to you. Eli Estrada, a man from California, returned the money.
If you think forty-one year old Estrada is a rich man, you would be wrong. He runs a gardening business Tuff Turf in Los Angeles and is in debt. So he needed the money. He found a bag filled with unmarked $20 bills in the middle of a road - it felt unreal to him. But he decided to return the money because it is the right thing to do. He said, “It’s like karma. Whatever you do, comes back.” But he admitted it was hard to give up the money. The bag was left by one of the armored truck drivers from a company called Brinks. He did not get anything in return, though later Brinks rewarded him with $2,000.
We hope he gets much better reward from life for his good karma.

the “right” thing to do in the long term will only make saps think and feel good about themselves until they realize they just had the ticket out of their miserable lives handed to them on a platter…personally, I wouldn’t have thought twice nor even once about taking the money and cashing out
and again the ever popular topic of karma with the laymen and laywomen (:P) - quite trying to make yourselves feel good by hoping people will succumb to bad ends and just do something about it instead if it means so much to you that everyone get their just desserts, bad things happen to everyone regardless, you WILL all die alone
haha, aren’t you a miserable punk.
FUCKING DO-GOODERS PISS ME OFF
What would I do?
First, a helicopter. After that, depending how much I had left, just travel the world, see the sights, party on till the money runs out.
As much as I admire his strong will, he most certainly made the wrong choice. Karma is a logical fallacy; namely, “after which, therefore because of.” It’s entirely imagined.
How does he know that the 140,000 wasn’t his reward for being a good samaritan in the past?
I lost alot of cash, if anyone found any please send me an email. That is all.
Wow, this guy made the WRONG decision. Though, I guess believing in Karma should cost people. If I were an owner of Brinks I would just love it if everyone believed in Karma. Hell, then I wouldn’t even need an armored truck! There is no such thing as Karma, and 140,000 for a 14,000 dollar find? Not likely unless it was a gameshow or something. As somebody previously said, Karma is a fallacy.
To look deeper, the man was probably doing pretty well with his lawn business, or there would have been no ‘karma’ strong enough to part him from the bag of cash.
