"Honest guy gets $10K he found - 10 years later"
two stories in this link:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16090093/
These are only the first couple of paragraphs of each story, the rest is at the link
From Part I:
PROVO, Utah — Honesty and patience have paid off for a maintenance worker who is to receive $10,000 he found in 1996 at Brigham Young University.
The employee, who was not identified, discovered the money in two pipes while working at BYU's Harold B. Lee Library.
The man gave the cash to campus police, but the owner has never been found. Property not claimed after three months must be disposed, under Utah law, but police believed the money was suspicious and warranted a longer investigation.
and from Part II:
BARRE, Vt. — With the drop of a single coin into a Salvation Army holiday collection kettle, the group may have been enriched by as much as $14,000.
The donated 1908 Indian head coin has a face value of $2.50, said Capt. Louis Patrick. It's worth at least at $250 and possibly as much as $14,000, according to a preliminary analysis.
