Texas teacher finds, returns bank bag with $20K
Unemployed teacher finds, returns about $20K to bank, bag discovered on College Station road

Associated Press – 18 hrs ago

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) -- An unemployed teacher was driving home after dropping her cat off at a veterinarian when she noticed a bag on the street. She stopped but doubted it contained anything, but soon discovered the bag was holding about $20,000.

Candace Scott said the bag had a Chase bank label, so she promptly delivered it to a nearby branch. She pound on the glass around 8 a.m. Tuesday to get the branch manager to come to the door before the bank opened for business, The Eagle newspaper reported (http://bit.ly/1bVj7OR). The banker thanked Scott for returning the cash.
"She told me I'm the most honest person in the world, and I said 'or the dumbest,'" Scott said.

They should have had the teacher edit and proofread the article. "She pound on the glass"????

Spanish imperative conjugation ?
WAG.



When I was younger I would have returned it.

(Today) I'd have a hard time with not viewing it as 2k of annual return.

if Chase noticed an error in your account where you had been overcharged, I'm sure they'd be JUST as quick to return your money, uh-huh...

Never set your bag on the top of your car (but on the hood in front of the steering wheel.) Never set you money bag with $20k in it on the bumper of your armored car.

If anybody deserves a windfall, an unemployed teacher would be at the top of my list.

I don't understand the "real American" part of the headline. Is the assumption that this could never ever happen in Canada or Japan?
