A Costly Lost and Found

I took a walk one afternoon on August 5th, 2010, going past the football field as part of my route. Behind the press box, while it was still under construction, there was a folded $20 bill lying on the ground. I could tell, from when I first laid eye on it, that there was more than what I bargained for. So with that, I unfolded the bill and discovered four more $20 bills inside. Thinking out-loud, I said to myself, “Oh my gosh! $100! I better take this to the city building!” And that’s exactly what I did. Upon arrival, I reported the money to the woman working the front desk and handed it over to her afterwards. The money was safely placed in an envelope while the woman wrote down the date and location it was found at, let alone my name and phone number. The money was given over to the police department and, the rest is history. True story!!! Or I never would have written this blog. The $100 was never claimed in the long-run, but I’m cool with it! Money isn’t everything. Sure, we have bills to pay and all, but we shouldn’t let greed get the best of us. I don’t know about any of you out there, but I personally think $100 is too much money to be lost like that. And it really should be returned to its rightful owner at all costs.
