A sheriff’s department in the US state of Virginia praised a family who turned in two large mail bags they found in the middle of the road — filled with nearly $1 million in cash.
But instead of hanging onto the windfall, the family turned the bags into the local sheriff’s department in Caroline County, located north of the Virginia state capital of Richmond.
“For someone so honest and willing to give that, almost a million dollars, back, it’s exceptional on their part,” said the department’s Major Scott Moser.Schantz told WTVR her family was simply doing “the right thing.”Authorities said they do not know how the cash ended up in the middle of the street, but believe the money was being sent to a bank.
The bags have been delivered to a post office, which this time will ensure they reach their proper destination.
