i hear ya man - but - i gotta be honest here. if you find a voucher ok, let me back up. last year i found a voucher in a machine that was for $78. so, I did not know who was before me so i rolled to the office and asked them if anyone had reported it. no one had. so i held onto it, letting nancy know i had it. came around 4pm and no one had made a report. nancy told me to keep it because there was little they could do if it was reported at this point.

bout a week later i again asked the office if it had been officaly reported and she told me no. dude, yes it is called honesty but in reality a voucher sitting in a machine that no one knows whoo it belongs to is like a $50 bill laying on the floor.

the cat that took it, based on your time frame, had to know it was yours. thats bull - we all know that. but...................................

if you walk up to a machine and find a voucher and no one was before you that you could see all you can do is let management know. then, if no one reports it in a couple hours kevin it is a $50 bill on the street!

i agree, that was a bad deal but it is the truth...............

GPK...Maybe it was that dude that was cheering for his horse on the replay the other day...

Don't worry man...karma's a b*tch...

get up 3, get up 3
:D :D

It is bro...I know...and like I said...I hope they lose 100 times that amount.

flip side -

teller at scioto gives me back an extra $20 couple weeks back - i hand it back

next race i go to her to place my wager and she has a season pass for me

karma

I simply disagree Curt.....

I see both sides of this, honestly. Just having worked as a Teller makes me see a different side is all. Fact is honesty is honesty and what is yours is yours - somebody knew that was your $50. All I am saying is if a voucher is laying around and no one knows who it might belong to and the owner is not savy enough to track their money within a couple hours of losing it, well, you know.

plain and simple....if it ain't mine...I don't want it.

It sounded to me like the perp would have been within earshot by the time GPK got back and said something (30 seconds, right?)...something tells me there was no report filed to the track office

I filed a report....but by the time everything panned out, the ticket had already been cashed...nothing they could do.

exactly because what the teller can do is just pocket that money - and it's not a problem with management! if ya turn it into the head teller - they should hold onto it until the close of the business day and then guess what - somebody gets some cash. no win

exactly either cashed the voucher or turned it into a $50 bet on a future race

Thats bull**** man. Sorry to hear that. Some people in this world really are ****, just dont understand it.

Makes you wonder how some people can sleep at night...

Not everyone was raised properly like you and I Dustin.

Hey, maybe he lost the $50 on that DQ at Belmont...wouldn't that be the best???

the real problem here is this -

the person that took this voucher based on what gpk has said no doubt knew it was his. that is stealing in anyones eyes.

That happened to me at Churchill Kentucky Oaks Day ..... it's worst feeling. You're equally mad beyond belief and upset that you lost money.

Sorry.

Kev, I feel for you but you have to let it go now. No good can come out of being upset about it now. Know what I mean.
