What Would You Do If You Found $120,000?

HOUSTON – A telephone company worker found $120,000 of Harris County FCU currency after it fell off the back of a truck heading to replenish credit union ATMs Thursday morning and promptly returned the wayward cash. Six cash canisters, which were being transported by two off-duty Houston police officers, fell off the back of a pick-up truck around 8:30 am. When they arrived to their destination, the off-duty cops realized the money was gone. Luckily, an AT&T worker found the containers by the side of the road and saw them labeled, so he brought them to authorities. The AT&T worker, who was unidentified, will be paid a reward for his honesty. Credit union officials said they are reviewing their method of transporting cash.
