A Picture Is Worth 1000 Words Or In This Case, $3100!

A Picture Is Worth 1000 Words Or In This Case, $3100!In Florida, a man was rooting around the community trash dumpster in his apartment complex searching for secondhand treasure when he came across a discarded photograph of a space shuttle in a damaged frame that just happened to have $3100 in cash tucked away behind it. After the man took his daily discovery home, he proceeded to remove the photograph to replace the frame and found 35 $20 bills & 24 $100 bills concealed inside of it. He reported the money to the police and is fully entitled to the cash if the original owner doesn’t show up after an allotted time period.

    …If it’s in the trash, why would you even bother going to the police?
    Silly man.

    That’s interesting, wonder what other treasures he found haha…
    I hope he gets to keep the money, it would give the story a really happy ending, but its good of him to turn it in, most people wouldn’t think twice about just taking it.

    Heh, there’s gonna be a zillion people claiming its theirs. He really shouldn’t have taken it to the police. The only way the “rightful owner” could be able to actually get it back is by memorizing the serial numbers on every bill. HIGHLY unlikely that he did such. The man should have just kept it.
