Man finds frame with $3,100 in dumpster
Warren Bendix of Stuart told police he pulled a framed picture of a space shuttle from the trash while he was dumpster diving at Sierra Condominium Apartments, where he lives, at about 1:45 p.m. Saturday, TCPalm.com reported.
Bendix said he took the photo home to change the frame and discovered 24 $100 bills and 35 $20 bills hidden behind the picture.
Sgt. Marty Jacobson, a police spokesman, said Bendix turned the money over to officers.
"If there isn't a legitimate claim to the property, he can claim it," Jacobson said. "We want to give a legitimate owner an opportunity to claim it if it's theirs."

A point of law: Unless the home had been burglarized and this picture discarded by the burglars, would the money and frame not be considered "discarded" and therefore the property of the finder? I can't think of any reason why he should not be able to keep the money. Nice of him to turn it in, though; I hope he gets proper credit for being a good citizen.
