Great story.
I’m surprised they could track down the right family.
CNN producer: “Another example of toxic masulini.... wait, he works hard to support his family yet still puts values ahead of money? Huh. Hmmm. Can we run with a patriarchy angle? No? Right, I guess not. Well shoot. Spike it. Moving on, what’s Lena Dunham been up to lately?”
Actually, what surprised me is how someone would put that much money in CASH, instead of depositing it in the bank.
Thanks for posting a story that lifted up my spirit with so much chaos going on in the world.
I lived in Mid-Michigan for some time, and yes, there are some outstanding folks there.
Yes. I can't figure out who they returned the money to.
That would not be me.
Once it hit the thrift store, it is fair game.
People need to learn to communicate to their older family members to ensure their 30s era dislike of banks doesn’t end up costing them like this.
Cheesy bastards who got the 43 large should have given him a generous reward.
And that’s what the common law is. When you buy it, it’s your lock stock and barrel. ( As has happened) If that flea market framed picture has an early copy of the
Decoration of Independence behind it, it’s yours.
RE: When she died in the late 1970’s my grandparents found around $18,000 in cash in her place.
Assuming she died in 1979, $18,000 then would be worth nearly $65,000 today !!
Good for the man finding joy in returning the cash. However, that was a fair find. He could have found the same joy in thanking Jesus or fate for the monetary windfall that was so needed.

He’s going to be rewarded in other ways.
His badly needed fix for the roof is going to be done for him by kindhearted souls.
Plus, there’s a GoFundMe page to reward him as well.
“As is ,
Where is.”

Yup.
Thank you for the post. First one I have read today...what a great way to start the day.
How many of us on this forum do something similar except with gold or silver. If you look at it that way it really isn’t so unusual.
And the people that donate their past loved one’s property to thrift stores should do a better job of searching the stuff before donating.
Obviously this guy had every right to keep it but chose a path that some of may have found difficult.
There was story a few years back where a family in Wenatchee Washington had bought a home and began remodeling it. They found a stash of silver bars worth several tens of thousands of dollars in the bricks in the fireplace. So they tracked down the all the previous owners and returned it to the family of the person, who had stashed it, but had long since died. That family had sold that property as part of the estate even though they had vested property right to it.
