In 1963, a member of the public found £47,245 in a plastic sack that had been left inside a telephone box in Great Dover Street, Newington, South London.

It was part of the haul from the infamous Great Train Robbery and would be worth £2.35 million in today's money and he rang the police.

Supposing you were in Great Dover Street in the early hours today with not a soul around and you went to use the public phone and found £2.35 million inside in bags.

Would you:

a) Thank your 'Lucky Stars' and call a trusted mate up to come along in his car and help you carry home the loot?

b) Would you be so scared that you would leave the money where it was, wipe the telephone box door where you'd touched it, then just scarper as fast as your little legs would carry you?

c) Would you call the police and report it then stay guarding the money until they arrived?

Honest answers only, please.

Not that anyone uses telephone boxes anymore

[Denver]

Im the bank robber who dropped it

[smudgie]

Depends on my age at the time.
If I was a teenager or early twenties I would bag the lot.
Any older and I would just stuff my pockets
My age now I would have a heart attack worrying about them coming after me

Honest as ever, Smudge.

hmm this is a toughie…

most likely i’d choose Option A, really like these scenarios you do Kirk

[user104658]

If you find £2 million in a phonebox it's drug money and someone is coming for it, and has probably already seen you, so you leave it the **** alone and pretend you know nothing about it.

Thanks, Matthew.

Anonymous money in a bag is another no brainer Kirk. No one can ever prove I got it from there so its mine. It would never touch a bank however. Probably keep in a safe place and dip into it when I needed to.

I ALWAYS love your honest answers, Girth. THAT is exactly what I would do too.

Come on T.S - wouldn't you at least fill your pockets with a few grand?

I see what TS is saying but in the scenario where I'm not sure, I'd probably circle the areas for an hour or so to make sure no one was watching the place, park the car a good distance away etc and the moneys mine, its gone never to be found again.

[MTVN]

Not taking that money, you're either going to end up in trouble with the police or some pretty bad criminals for doing so

I would leave it but I wouldn't risk my safety guarding it, would probs report it to the police once I was a safe distance away

[Calderyon]

Depends on the finders fee.

Sensible, Matt. I'm too old to care. I'd regard it as a Gift From Above and take the risk.

[Beso]

D...stuff it in every orrifice available and tell no one.

A, i love money and 2 million is too good to refuse

[Eddie.]

A.

In Singapore dollars, it’s 4.1 million which is A LOT.

[Kazanne]

A = take the money, someone needs to spend it not leave it in a telephone box.

[Livia]

What could you do with all that money in cash? You could spend a proportion of it but the rest you'd have to have laundered in some way. Too complicated. Might grab a slack-handful of it though.

But I'd expect to be rewarded, and if I wasn't, I'd call them wankers.
