Right, the carpenter should be happy that she offered him 10% because he is technically not entitled to any of it. Trying to claim an item of value that you found on someone else's property is like walking into your neighbor's yard and "finding" his lawn mower. That does NOT make it yours! That carpenter should give it up because his case won't fly in court.

:argue: By this point the only ones that will end up with any money are the lawyers -they'll have hoovered up every penny of the findings.Stupid bugger shoulda taken the 10%. Edit: Plus NOW that the find is out in the open - every cent of the half million is TAXABLE as Gross Income - ha ha ha - dumb dumb carpenter. |
That money belongs to the homeowner! Whether she knew it was there or not it indeed was on her property. She purchased the hidden treasure just as she purchased the rest of the house.

It belongs to the home owner, and he's a MORON for calling her and telling her! What a dumbass! She didn't know it was there, and it was only hers "technically", I would not have felt the least bit bad about taking it. Whoever stashed that money is long gone-I would have finished the job and smiled-:D
