Damn! I shouldn’t have avoided Robson St today.
September 22nd, 2009 at 5:37 pm
as if that first lady walked past it!!..damn!
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:22 pm
eeeeek, they probably recorded that weeks ago! it could be anywhere by now!
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:28 pm
Kate, that’s what I was thinking, that poor lady probably spent it on a coffee long ago… a five thousand dollar coffee!

I don’t think it necessarily has to be the person who found it. If it’s in circulation, it still is worth $5000! Neat contest… and I believe it when it was done today since today was beautiful out.
