bout a week later i again asked the office if it had been officaly reported and she told me no. dude, yes it is called honesty but in reality a voucher sitting in a machine that no one knows whoo it belongs to is like a $50 bill laying on the floor.

the cat that took it, based on your time frame, had to know it was yours. thats bull - we all know that. but...................................

if you walk up to a machine and find a voucher and no one was before you that you could see all you can do is let management know. then, if no one reports it in a couple hours kevin it is a $50 bill on the street!

i agree, that was a bad deal but it is the truth...............

I simply disagree Curt.....

All I am saying is if a voucher is laying around and no one knows who it might belong to and the owner is not savy enough to track their money within a couple hours of losing it, well, you know.

It sounded to me like the perp would have been within earshot by the time GPK got back and said something (30 seconds, right?)...something tells me there was no report filed to the track office

Seriously, I've brought up a voucher I have found to the teller, and there is no doubt in my mind the teller took it, so I do get what you are saying, it's a tough call.
exactly because what the teller can do is just pocket that money - and it's not a problem with management! if ya turn it into the head teller - they should hold onto it until the close of the business day and then guess what - somebody gets some cash. no win

the real problem here is this -

the person that took this voucher based on what gpk has said no doubt knew it was his. that is stealing in anyones eyes.

No good S.O.B.
That happened to me at Churchill Kentucky Oaks Day ..... it's worst feeling. You're equally mad beyond belief and upset that you lost money.

Sorry.

Kev, I feel for you but you have to let it go now. No good can come out of being upset about it now. Know what I mean.

Basically as a rule, people suck. I agree kev, if its not mine, I wont take it. I dont care if i find it somewhere. I will turn it in to somebody because i didn't earn it in anyway. People don't need to take advantage of other people especially when its as blatant as this. This guy can't be happy with his life. Stealing money from a somebody he doesn't even know. I almost feel sorry for him how empty his life must be.
