A South Carolina teacher was driving with her son when $11,000 in cash started falling on the road in front of her.
When 42-year-old Sherry Whiteside saw stacks of $100 bills on the ground, she did get out of the car, but not to keep the cash. Yahoo reports that Whiteside chose to return the money so the owner could retrieve it.
“We get out of the car and I looked down and saw all these $100 bills,” Whiteside said. “There was a white piece of paper and it looked like trash, and I just felt the Lord telling me to pick it up. I opened it up and it was a receipt for Wells Fargo in the amount of $30,000 cash. And I thought, ‘Well, we’ve got to go back there.’ He must’ve just come from there.”
When Whiteside got to the Wells Fargo, it was closed. So she instead turned the money into the police, saying that it was something she couldn’t just hang on to.
According to the Huffington Post, the police were able to find the own and returned the money to him. He had apparently left it on the top of his car.
