Several months ago I was running errands with my girlfriend.  We went to longs drugs and bought some stuff.  As we were walking back to the car I noticed a dollar bill laying on the ground in the middle of the parking lot, it wasn't near a car or anything.   I immediately bent over to pick it up, when I did I noticed it was not a dollar bill but a $100 dollar bill!   I said to my girlfriend, "whoa,"  and showed her the bill.

Instantly a middle aged lady I didn't hear approach said "is that $100 dollars?   Yeah, it's mine."

"Oh," I responded and gave her back the money.  I didn't even think about it.

"I was in longs and realized I didn't have my cash so i was coming back out to find it."  Then she got back into her car which was parked fairly close to where I found the bill.

Shitty,  I thought as we got back into my car.  I sat there for second wondering if the money really was hers or if she was just a quick thinking opportunist.    The money was close to her car.  She did know it was a $100 dollar bill.  She didn't have any merchandise from longs.  But why didn't she go back into longs to do her unfulfilled shopping?
