Not only are hearts left in San Francisco but so are wads of cash. @HiddenCash is a multi-millionaire who has been leaving money all over the city as part of a “social experiment for good.”
Envelopes of cash are being left around the city cryptic clues like these:
New Drop: @tonyhawk did a 900 on me. Find me under the corner of the outdoor bar table overlooking the water.

Or sometimes taking photos of a location probably only familiar to locals of the Bay Area:

The envelopes are usually left with the request to endorse the @HiddenCash cause by tagging them on Twitter – which the newly cashed hunters have been happy to do:

The philanthropist told The Bold Italic that their motivation came from making a killing (at the time they had “just made half a million dollars flipping one house”) while people they work with struggle to buy houses.
“I’ve made millions of dollars the last few years, more than I ever imagined, and yet many friends of mine, and people who work for me, cannot afford to buy a modest home in the Bay Area… This has caused me quite a bit of reflection. I am determined to give away some of the money I make, and in addition to charity, to do it in fun, creative ways like this.”
This Robin Hood who only pilfers from their own account is also planning to go nation-wide and is expecting to do a huge drop when they reach 100k Twitter followers.
