I know several people who went through phases of leaving little "prizes" sprinkled around the world in the hopes that random strangers would discover them, collect the prizes, and think better of the world for this reason. I have never personally received anonymous cash in the mail, but it wouldn't entirely surprise me if it happened some day.

It seems more likely if people have some way of getting your mailing address without directly asking for it, but I can understand that this would quite possibly have negative consequences too >.>
