And have to live with myself afterward? Nah, I’d just keep going, dodging the money grabbers.

"Finders keepers" is one thing, but if you know who it belongs to... then no.

Not even interested.

Exactly. I might stop and try to pick some up, but to give it back to the truck crew. I imagine they would lose their jobs over it.

Yeah, no..... Keep on driving.

I did something similar (lol, on a smaller scale) several years ago. A trucker hauling several stock trailers had lost a cardboard box of hinge & hitch pins, and they were scattered on the 2-lane highway a few hundred yards back from where he stopped.

I was going the other direction, drove past him (he had just exited the truck), then stopped and gathered them up in the box. Did a U-turn and took 'em back to him.

I'm guessin' he was unsure about my intentions there for a while...

I would NOT advise that. Keep going down the road, they have enough lookieloos and thieves without having to deal with possible good samaritans.

Seems in the 80's or 90's there was a Brinks that lost a truckload of dimes east of Shawnee on I 40? I heard they are still picking up dimes with metal detectors.

Looks like mostly $1 bills. I’m not getting charged with anything for mere stripper confetti.
