It's cash. No owner. Not at all like finding cash in a wallet.
Anyone can and will say it's theirs if you ask.

Yep, it's anonymous and whomever dropped it could have been in the next state or anywhere when they missed it. Apparently it was loose in a pocket or purse and not in a wallet or billfold. Still, it's not a trivial amount and may have been someone's bill-paying money or road money and they missed it big-time. There were times that extra $5 saw me thru the last week to end of the month, $20 was much better if I wanted to splurge with a motorcycle ride out-of-town day trip and cover house-hold needs if it didn't have to go elsewhere.
Another time I found $40 on the ground in a parking lot outside a restaurant in Ga. going to the Honda Hoot in Ashville, N.C., it made a huge difference as I was on a
very tight budget to make that trip happen. The Hoot got moved to Knoxville a few years later and then was discontinued permanently in the recession, so that was over for good and still sorely missed as a great destination ride/ get-together into and thru the Smokies.
