A MAN WHO found the equivalent of €5,000 cash lying on the ground is being praised for his honesty… after handing it straight back in.
Breck Reeves, 46, spotted an envelope on the ground Aug. 6 while going to the motor tax office in Visalia, California. Inside was a stack of $100 bills totaling $6,900 (€5,200).

Reeves told the Fresno Bee he might have kept the money if it had been $20 or so, but this was too much. He turned in the money at the DMV, and Visalia police eventually tracked down its rightful owner, 69-year-old retired farmworker Guadalupe Salazar.
Salazar had taken the money out of the bank to buy his son a new car. The envelope apparently fell out of Salazar’s car when he opened the door.
Salazar said he plans to take the Reeves to dinner.
