HAVE YOU EVER found money on the ground and kept it for yourself? Of course you have. Well, how about €1000?
According to ABC7 News, Mike Vegas of Berkeley, California ordered a pizza and chicken wings from Dominos earlier this week.
When his order arrived, he ate a few slices of pizza, put the rest of the food in the fridge, then went to work.
“My phone started blowing up and I wasn’t looking at the random messages, I was at work so I wasn’t answering,” he told ABC7.
About 5am, I got home from work and went to my refrigerator and pulled out what I thought was wings. It turned out to be $1300.
The calls had been from a frantic Domino’s delivery man, who was on his way to the bank when he realised his mistake.
Vegas deliberated over what to do, but knew in his heart he needed to give it back – and Domino’s were so grateful, they rewarded him with a year’s worth of free pizza.
Seems like a more than fair trade-off.

Yet another successful dip back into the markets. There’s still massive uncertainty out there, but it looks increasingly likely that Ireland will exit the bailout at the end of the year. While our budget is still in a bad way, it’ll be nice to have a sense of independence again and it should give an overall confidence boost to consumers and business that will be felt in the wider economy.
Yeah cause the ECB buying most of the bonds and T-bills is a step in the right direction. Getting played. In honour of twitters 7 year birthday, u deserve a hashtag #Deluded
Tell me why I should have confidence, I don’t understand it, I’m serious, what does this mean for me?
David please give it over
there is a bond bubble at the moment and selling bonds is as easy as it was getting a mortgage in 2005. the ecb is flooding the market with money which is skewing bond prices.
More reason than you had buying a 1 bed apartment for 500k during the boom!
