The truth? I'd hand in all $9500 of it.

Anonymously, of course.

ATMs charge up to $3 to make their little computer spit out $20. This kind of personal service deserves a bit more compensation.

I had something sorta similar happen in my single days. A woman dropped her wallet and checkbook in a grocery store parking lot. I looked at the ID, it was an attractive young woman, single, new to town who worked for the same place I did. She was no longer at the store, so I thought about taking it by her house, but then I thought that might make me look suspicious.

So I took it in to the store. The pizza faced git took it, smiled big, called the woman and said, "Miss X, I've found your wallet!" Never said a dang word to me.

From now on, service fees must be paid.
