Ok so here's the deal I was walking out of the bar at the end of my show. I looked down and saw a quarter laying in the parking lot next to my truck. I started to pick it up but then thought to myself is this legal? So if anyone can help me out with the following questions please respond.

1) Is it legal for me to keep the quarter?

2) Should I claim it on my income so I can be 1: to 1: on my taxes?

3) If I don't claim it can I get audited?

4) Is it legal for me to sell it on E-Bay or Craigslist.

5) Do you think anyone could get in trouble if they purchased it from me.

6) What if I just kept it at home and only used it for my own personal use?

Please help me out on this I know someone on here knows just look at the huge amount of posts on the legal boards.

Okay... I'm game.... The Doctor is IN...

No. Mail it to me immediately.

No. Mail it to me immediately.

You can get audited only by the Internal Revenue Service at any time whether or not you claim it.

What type of personal use?.... Like a personal massager? EWWWW!....

We can only help those that are desperately unable to figure it out themselves.

Ok it was just a attempt at a sarcastic comparison of some of the posts I have read.
(should I post a definition of sarcastic?)

Posted all in fun everyone....

I guess my response needed a sarcasm clarifier. I only posted to add to the humor.

Absolutely all in fun.....
(you still owe me a quarter)

I know you did hiteck I was just trying to be humorous..

Maybe I will find another one in the parking lot next weekend. If I do it's all yours.

Wait can we claim sarcasm or humor after the fact??

Now we're talking interest.....

But...can you backup your confusion with any proof.....
