SoCal Thrift Store Worker Returns $30g

[Refugee 7]

POMONA, Calif. (AP) — A thrift store worker in Southern California says she didn't think twice about returning $30,000 she found in donated clothing.

Barbarita Nunez was sorting clothes on Tuesday at the Veterans Thrift Store when she found a small box. Inside was an envelope of cash.

Nunez said at first she thought the money was fake. But just in case, she gave it to her supervisor.

The money turned out to belong to a woman who had recently died. It was returned to her family, who gave Nunez a cash reward.

Nunez said she will send some of the reward to Mexico so her mother can have an eye operation and will use the rest to buy a digital camera.

It's seems like they gave her a very nice reward for her honesty.

It always warms my heart when I read something like that. There are still honest folks.

$30K? Oh it would be tempting to say, "Look, I found $20 thousand dollars in this box."

Nice story with a good ending
