What if you found a Stradivarius Violin (worth ~$10M) in the backseat?

...and just to make it interesting, let's say there was no way the owner could track you.

    Are you crazy? Straight to the police. I don't want to be the guy that broke a stradivarius.

    For those who might think you have made a big pay day, there's no way you'd be able to unload this thing without getting nabbed. There are only a few hundred in existence.

    I would pull over, lock the doors, and wait for help to arrive. LOL.

    I drive an Uber, so I am not sure how I would be able to get away with stealing it.  There are too many ways to track what happened.  I suppose I could argue that I didn't notice the violin and gave too many additional rides.  At which point, no one will be able to prove that *I* took it.

    I am not even smart enough to make anything of it though.  Where would I go?  Some blackmarket?  Chinatown?  Call up the Sotheby's?  I have a feeling I will just mess up and get thrown into jail.  I'd be so scared of the darn thing in my car.

    Thsi is assuming I knew what it was and it's potential worth, right?

    I'd totally touch it.  When would you ever have the chance?  I have great respect for such irreplaceable items, but what an opportunity!   I mean, I would totally play it...attempt to play it.  Is that bad?

    I would have no idea that it was worth 10 mill, now if I found 10 mill in cash that would be a different scenerio...
