MI Woman Finds $15K on Street, Turns It In to Police, Owners Found

A little more faith in humanity has been restored.

Just when you think that the people of the world are just evil, you come across a story like this. A woman on her way home from work found a bag of gas at a gas station in White Lake Township. Instead of making off with the cash, she turned it in to the police.

Dianne Gordon was making her 2.7-mile walk home from work when she stopped at a gas station to warm up. Outside the building, she saw a plastic bag with a stack of money and picked it up. Instead of keeping it, she called the police to turn in the money. When police counted the money, the grand total was $14,780. The bag also contained some wedding cards. Eventually, the police were able to track down who lost the money and return it to them. The couple was recently married.

Don't worry, Dianne Gordon was rewarded for her good deed as a crowdfunding campaign has been started for her to help her get a new car. That was the initial reason that she was walking home from work as her car died last year. At the time of writing this (Thursday, 2/2/23 @ 3 pm,) the gofundme page had raised $23,845 of the $25,000 goal. Once the goal is met, the organizer of the campaign will be working with Szott Automotive to secure a new vehicle for Gordon.

It is awesome to see that there are still people in the world that have integrity, are honest, and do the right thing!
