As you already know I found a lot of money by the bank machine on Saturday, $960 to be exact.  Today I brought it back.

I looked up what time the bank opened at online and dropped by shortly after 10AM.  I spoke to the person at the information desk to see if a deposit was missing from the bank machine.  Since the bank had just opened they didn’t know yet because they didn’t empty the deposits.  So I gave them my name and number in case someone forgot to put in the envelope when they made a deposit.   Shortly after noon I called into the office to check my voicemail since I was at a clients all morning and there was a message from the bank.  I called them back and they said that the police were in there asking if anyone had found an envelope with nine hundred and some dollars in it.  The bank gave me the contact number for the officer in charge.  I tried calling but got his voice mail so I went to the police station to drop off the money so they can give it back to the rightful owner.  The officer in charge was on lunch so I spoke with his superior.  He counted the money, asked me a few questions on where and when I found it.

I could just imagine how worried the person who lost the money must have been. I would be freaking out.

I didn’t think they would have noticed it because the money was in a deposit envelope.  I thought they just forgot to put it in the machine walked away.  I figured the bank would of been the first to know and called the customer.  By the looks of things that wasn’t what happen because the police knew before the bank.  I didn’t even think of calling the police.  I just thought of calling the bank but they were closed until today and probably couldn’t have done anything anyways.

One important thing here, if you find something that is not yours try your best to find the rightful owner back.  I’m sure you would appreciate it if you were on the flip side.
