GREENSBORO, N.C. – An 11-year-old North Carolina boy has found and returned a stolen purse with nearly $2,000 inside. The News & Record of Greensboro reported Wednesday that Edward Myers and his siblings were helping neighbors plant trees in a Greensboro park when he spotted a purse on the creek bank. The Boy Scout and his mother called the police, and the purse's owner showed up to collect.

The owner told police her car was broken into on Thanksgiving. Police said the thief took $30 out of the main billfold but missed $1,900 in another compartment before flinging the purse into the creek.

The owner rewarded Edward with one of the $100 bills. He gave $40 of it to his mother and spent the other $60 on a Carolina Panthers jersey.

If I had found that I'd be sitting next to my Intel i7 and Intel motherboard package with a Samsung Spinpoint F3 attached already. Also some Nvidia GTX card wouldn't do harm. Neither would two 22" monitors or a new speaker set.

THIEF FAIL.
 
^ That's a MASSIVE FAIL indeed.

And oh yeah, I would know what to do with the money :3
 
^ Get 2 Pioneer CDJs and a mixer :afro:



Actually that might come out to a bit more than $2000..
 
I myself am an honest person, so I would return it :innocent: but yeh once I found an expensive phone on the train, I returned it to the dude (after using some person calls) and I got $50 for my troubles,

Now returning it is actually more rewarding, so who here would return, and who wouldn't?

Every descent dj knows that cdjs aren't pro at all.
