    cool, not many people would do that. I know I wouldnt in that case, 200,000 g's, you know someone is going to come looking for it down the road, so why cash it?

    this guy seemed to do it out of general character though, and its to be commended and respected

    Well, it's one thing to find a suitcase full of 200 grand, which I would keep ina heartbeat. BUt someone's military life insurance checks I would definitely speak up about. Some poor widow who lost a husband in the service.... or father who l ost his son in this case....
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Wow. It's amazing mistakes of that magnitude are made. I'm glad Carlos G. Rojas is an honest guy, as is Carlos M. Rojas, I'm sure.

    Hmmm, the dad didn't seem real excited that he got his money. I think I would have given a reward, say several K's if I had the same done to me... But what do I know?

    And ya, we should definately Karma the good ole chap who returned it. :) Nice thought
