A fanny pack, $30,000 inside, and one honest stranger
Luis Salazar walked into the bathroom of a Wawa convenience store in Riviera Beach, Florida, and found a fanny pack hanging from the handrail of a stall. He asked around the store first. When no one claimed it, he opened the pack looking for an ID and instead found several thick wads of cash totaling about $30,000. Salazar spent the next several days trying to find the owner. The owner eventually called Riviera Beach police to report the pack missing, and officers used store security footage to identify Salazar, who drove straight to the station when they called. "So, I give him his bag. 'This is yours.' And he was crying. And he hugged me," Salazar said. The owner, who asked not to be named, called it life-changing money. Salazar did not seem to find any of it complicated. "It's not my money to take. I was not raised that way."
