    Dilemma? The only dilemma for me would be where I'd get a roadsweeper quick enough to gather up a good heft chunks worth...and head for the hills..

    My first thought was to burnt it. Why? I don't know what's wrong with me.

    The little bad fairy said that would be fun! Like smashy smashy.

    But I would probably just walk on by....after rolling around in it for 20 mins, talking a selfie of it though and putting it on FB though. But yeah after rolling around naked in it and taking pics I wouldn't steal any.

    I would write on one bill 'my boobs touched your money' to the person who gets it. But the answer is no I wouldn't take any of it. But I have a feeling the authorities would still want to have words with me about my behaviors.

    I would be an odd lap dancer. Rub the money on my boobs then hand it back. Because MORALS!

    But no I would walk by.

    I was only filling my boots as part of my civic duty to stop the money being stolen by passersby filling their boots... I fully intended to return all five euros of it to the authorities.

    Honestly I'd grab as much of it as possible even though its theft. The insurance will pay for the loss and its better off me spending it than being stuck as more profit in their balance sheet.

    It's something you see in a Hollywood film, I'd never do insurance fraud but I'd take as much of that as I could.

    It happened in Fairview in Dublin about 20 years ago. There was chaos on the main road, and people jumped off buses and out of cars to grab the money. I don't believe much of the money was ever returned.

    Take it, obviously. Anyone who says they wouldn't is a liar or a nun.

    I wouldn't take it. It's not mine and stealing is wrong. No need to complicate it more than that. It's not the right thing to do, so maybe we shouldn't do it?

    Cool. If it happens when we're walking on the same road, will you hold the black bag open for me? You won't need to take a penny, just hold the bag.

    No. Because you are getting in the way of people who want to actually take it.

    As Monopoly once taught me do pass go and collect a bank error in your favour, I would grab up as much as I could and blow it all on coke, hookers and lotto scratchers, and a bucket of KFC.

    I'd remember the words of St. Augustine: "Lord make me virtuous, but not yet".
