That very scenario happened to a poor California man who said that some days he only has $1.00 to buy lunch.
Joe Cornell told reporters that he was volunteering at a local Salvation Army, when a bag of money fell off a Brinks Security truck and landed at his feet. I can here some of you saying that this was his blessings, after all, the money bag sort him out and fell right in front of him. A bag that contained $125,000.00
What did Joe do? He turned the money in to the authorities.
When he was asked why he returned the money, Joe said that he wanted to set a good example for his grandkids.
“I thought ‘What type of man do I want my grandkids to think I am?’,” Joe said, “I want them to think I’m a just man that does the right thing and I did the right thing.”
KMPH reports that his wife cried when she heard what Joe did, considering that the are so poor.
Joe did not get a reward for turning in the cash.
