    You’d definitely have to declare it to the IRS minimum. But yeah, a national news story? You’re just asking for someone to ‘find’ proof it’s theirs; if not inviting a mugging/robbery.

      I’m sorry but if I magically find a box with $100K in it, the IRS is not on the list of people I tell.

      I’m pretty sure I never told them about the motherboard I bought back in 2002 off NewEgg and I didn’t pay sales tax on it.

        Depending on your financial situation; an exta 100k suddenly appearing in your finances will turn some heads.

        Missed sales tax on a small purchase; not so much.
