Here's a link that should work.

The bag sounds like the ones we used at the bank which means it would have had Loomis armored and the name of the place it had been picked up at right on the package. So we couldn't use that excuse... lol

I would be sorely tempted but believe I'd turn it in. There are so many safeguards in place to prevent people spending large amounts of money that they shouldn't have that I'd be afraid of getting caught with it and wouldn't enjoy it anyway.

If you deposit more than normal your bank is supposed to try to know why... if you suddenly have a lot more cash than usual that you're paying things off with or purchasing things with, it will often be reported...

As an example, we had someone think he was hot stuff and come into the closing on a property with a duffle bag full of cash and dramatically dump it on the table. BY LAW we had to notify the FBI so that they could investigate where the guy might have come up with it. He might have felt important for the day, but it did come back to bite him. (he'd been stealing and selling things and was growing pot on the property he'd bought that day) when the FBI finally finished their investigation of him and went to his new place to arrest him. He had a shed filled with stolen property and had he not acted so blatant and foolish he might have gotten by with it.
