In Wisconsin, two Goodwill employees were hard at work sorting through donated shoes to get them shelf ready when they came across the ultimate donation, $13,000 dollars in cash tucked away in a yellow envelope. The owner was eventually tracked down using a tax receipt and the discarded money was returned. The woman who came to collect the money said that it belonged to her husband who had habit of stashing cash, a side effect of living through the Great Depression. A small reward was given to the two employees who returned the money.

Harken Strangers! So you’ve come here on this dark and stormy night to hear my dastardly little tale. Let me begin by saying, that no matter how shocking it may seem, every crimson ounce of it is true. I am an advocate of mischief and a creator of turmoil. I compose ghastly music based on eerie circumstance and delightful tragedy in the band Creature Feature and the band Rufus Rex. I direct strange films depicting ill-fated events and ghoulish irony. I am a writer of the macabre, as opposed to a revolver, I use a sharpened pencil to displace my brains. I gently squeeze the trigger and splatter the page with metaphor. Read, watch, and listen, you never know what wonderful terrible things you might unearth.

Well at least they were nice enough to return it to the rightful owner
Those employees deserve a “your awesome!” hi five :]
LOL, I wouldn’t have returned it. :-/
I want to find $13,000, so bad right now.
” her husband who had habit of stashing cash”…kinda makes you wonder…how much money has he hidden?
that is so a house i would raid. there’s money they probably don’t even remember they hid going on there. my other question is… how do you lose/misplace/forget about 13000 dollars?
I’m amazed that they gave the money back… shows that there are still good people in this world!
Ha, I think someone’s husband slept on the couch that night.
Oh, haven’t we all forgotten to send in our taxes after living during the Civil War? This guy had no excuse…
