    I once found $41.24 cash inside a cash register someone had thrown out (looked like one from a gas station, and no i didn't rob the place lol) and just yesterday I tore down a vending machine, had close to 6 bucks in change in the bottom. I love finding money inside stuff lol.

    Nice find!

    At the risk of getting off track, it reminds me of a few years back when I thought I wanted to be in the mobile food concession business. Found a trailer in Colorado and drug it home to Idaho. It came with a register, but I didn't use it right away. When I finally unboxed it, it had around $520 dollars in it. Though I bought the trailer and contents as is, where is, I let the former owner know about it. He didn't care so I kept it.

    Another time I bought a "Lil Wizard" gumball machine off ebay. Seller stated there was money in it, but she didn't know how to get it out.

    It arrived and instead of a regular lock, it had a lock that opened with a flat screwdriver. Opened it up and it had around $42 in it.


    Still haven't hit "paydirt" on any appliances. So far just one had money and it was 57 cents.
