SoCal Thrift Store Worker Returns $30G

POMONA, Calif. — 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.

This isn't really so surprising, there are a lot of very honest people working in thrift stores.

YEAH POOR PEOPLE ARE HONEST. They fool people with false stories of the poor cheating the system, welfare and going bankrupt. Poor people pay their bills belive it or not. Doctors and lawyers are the hardest people to get to pay their bills.
