Found cash in a curb safe? Neighbors can be tricky
USAWed Jun 10 2026
People throw away all kinds of things. A man found a heavy safe left on a sidewalk with a note saying the owner forgot the combination. He moved it to his garage and spent hours cracking it open. Inside sat fifty thousand dollars in old hundred-dollar bills. He planned to keep it, but his neighbor saw the cash through a window. The neighbor stormed in, yelling that he saw the listing first and that the money belonged to him. Before things got worse, the cash finder showed the app proof that he had claimed the safe legally. Police arrived, told the neighbor he had no claim, and forced him to leave. Officers even charged him with trespassing and attempted theft.
Meanwhile, Walmart is swapping paper price tags for small digital screens in nearly every store. The change covers everything from food to clothes. The company says it will finish the switch within a year. Shoppers might notice the new bright labels, which can update prices quickly without someone printing and pasting new paper every day.
Scientists now say adults should drink no more than one alcoholic drink each day. An international team released the advice in a new study. Past rules allowed two drinks for men and one for women. The latest U. S. guidelines are less clear and just say to drink less. Some experts argue the change is important for long-term health.
