The honest waitress, the $12,000 tip, and the cops who tried to keep it because it smelled like marijuana.

After an unidentified man left a roll of cash on her table, the waitress, thinking he might have made a mistake, turned it into the police. Have you ever found money and considered giving it to the police to hold pursuant to a found-property procedure where, if no one claims the property within X days, you get to keep it? Would you turn in the $12,000... knowing that the policy has an exception for property that is considered evidence of criminal activity?

(Knutson had to sue, but she got the money back.)
