Who should get the money?

Tonight I was reading this story about a contractor in Cleveland that was doing some remodeling work in a home. He was taking down a wall in their bathroom and discovered two lunchboxes full of cash. Not just any cash but Depression-era currency in the amount of $182, 000. How cool is that?

The problem was that he thought he should get 40% and the homeowner thought that he should only get 10% seeing as how it was found her bathroom in her home. The report by Joe Milicia says that, "...21 descendants of Patrick Dunne — the wealthy businessman who stashed the money that was minted in a time of bank collapses and joblessness — will each get a mere fraction of the find." Read the story here and then vote on what you think should have happened.

It is a hard choice, in my mind, to decide what should have happened. Why? I'll tell ya, because it was in her home, therefore it was hers not the contractors. But the big question is, was it really hers to begin with? Since Patrick Dunne did leave a forwarding address, to what I guess was his work, then whether or not he is dead or alive it was originally his money. If he had put the money in a bank nobody would have been able to play finders keepers with it. Should the money go to his remaining family members? Maybe, just maybe, if they had both been reasonable, respectful people in the beginning and not been so greedy as to keep the money for themselves, then maybe the family of Dunne would've given them some percentage of it. But again, I'm stuck because it was in her bathroom. I don't know, what do you think?
