There was no ID with it or name on the envelope. The only other thing in the envelope was a withdrawral receipt from the bank next door.

So, naturally, they took the envelope to the bank and explained the situation.

The bank manager could not call the owner or hold on to the money herself because it was against policy, but she did offer to use the receipt to locate the name of the owner and pass it along to my friend so she could call the owner directly.

So, having received the owner’s name from the bank, my friend promptly called and left a message explaining the situation.

The next day, my friend receives a call from the owner.

Turns out it was an older woman who lost the money.

The owner explained that she must have missed the call because she was out to dinner with her friends.

She thanked my friend for finding the money and…. get this…. asked my friend to go back to the bank AGAIN and deposit the money for her, further explaining that she had already called the bank and told them to expect my friend shortly.

WTF? “Thanks, dear…” she commenced.

So, let me get this straight.

My Friend finds this lady’s CASH

My friend hunts her down to alert the lady that she lost her CASH

My friend finally gets a call back from this lady and then…

My friend has the PRIVELEGE of driving back to the bank to deposit this lady’s CASH for her?

Since when did a good deed turn into an errand on the behalf of the Samaritan?

Some people have such nerve… No good deed goes unpusnished!

In my opinion, that lady should donate the $300 to charity since she was so cavalier about it in the first place!
