I agree as well. This is a stupid and despicable thing for the City of Dallas to do. We should all make sure that they get as much negative press from this as possible.
But as far as keeping found cash. People do loose it from time to time. I know you guys are thinking lost drug dealer money, but what if it was someone like Uncle Billy (from It's a Wonderful Life)? This is why we need to give people reasons to turn in found cash instead of reasons not to.
Y'know there are states, mine included, who already appropriate the funds from inactive bank accounts. Put some money in an interest bearing account. Stay out of contact with the bank for three years and they're required to turn it over to the state. What Dallas is doing is just the next step on the same slippery slope.
