Man finds $3,800 in a garbage dump and returns it

He may be diving for trash, but this guy has a heart of gold.

A Tennessee man who found $3,800 during a dumpster dive decided to return the money to its rightful owner.

Joe Ellis was scrounging through a Dumpster in a Speedy Mart parking lot on Saturday night. He was looking for cans to recycle when he found a wad of cash tucked inside a plastic bag. There were several hundred dollar bills and three bank deposit slips, WKRN reports.

“I didn’t think it was real,” the Murfreesboro, Tenn. man told WKRN-TV.

The bank deposit slips didn’t have a name, so Ellis had no way of searching for the owner himself.

Ellis said he considered pocketing the cash, but decided to turn the bag into the Speedy Mart managers.
