Wow...It's great that there are still some honest people out there...I'm not quite sure that I would have turned the money in...Although the more I've thought about it, I don't think that I could truly enjoy it knowing that it belonged to someone else...I'm just glad that the thrift shop owners didn't get to keep it! I really wish this woman could have kept it all. She sounds like she could have used it...When I thrift shop, I always check the pockets after I buy something...Although I'm sure they've already gone through them...But you never know! ~Lisa

POMONA, Calif. (March 9) - 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.

What a wonderful woman. She said that she didn't even think twice about keeping it. I know it would have crossed my mind more than once. I hope she got a substantial reward, as she deserves it.
