Man finds $27,000 on the ground near ATM, returns it to bank
Meredith) – When a Michigan man found a case filled with $27,000 in cash, he didn’t take the money and run.
Surveillance video captured the moment George Condash returned all of the cash to the Westland Federal Credit Union, located about 25 miles west of Detroit.
He found the money near an ATM outside the credit union, WDIV reported. An armored security guard apparently left it there by mistake.
A video shows Condash stopping his vehicle to pick it up.
“Well, first, I just thought it was trash,” he said. “For some reason it hit me that, ‘Why don’t I just pick this up so no one else has to swerve around it?'”
Without hesitation, Condash decided to return the cash — even after seeing the large amount on the case.

“I picked it up and noticed a tag that said it was $40,000,” he said. “I said, ‘Is there a reward for $40,000?’ I put it on their counter, and they just looked dumbfounded.”
Turns out, there was only $27,000 inside.
“It’s not mine and any honest person, I would hope, would take it back in,” Condash said.
According to WDIV, the credit union gave Condash a small token of appreciation for his good deed.
