He found 42 thousand dollars in a donated sweater, returned them and received a reward

American fairs and second -hand stores are usually a good place to discover forgotten treasures. Andrea Lessing, empleada de la organización sin fines de lucro Goodwill Industries, que asiste y emplea a personas con discapacidad y con problemas económicos, puede dar fe de ello.

La mujer norteamericana, que vive en el estado de Oklahoma, encontró días atrás 42 mil dólares en efectivo escondidos en un suéter que había sido donado a la tienda.However, he did not stay: he returned them to his owner and received a juicy reward for his gesture.

Lessing was checking clothing as a routine inspection before putting them on sale."Just for working here for a month and a half, I realized that there are many things that have been donated," he told Fox News."One wants to make sure it is a good product, that there are no spots, holes, nor rasgaduras," he added.

Si bien Lessing inicialmente pensó que los suéters contenían libros, luego descubrió montones de sobres llenos de billetes de 100 dólares.In total, Lessing had encountered 42.000 dollars in cash.

Los sobres también tenían documentos que identificaban quién era el propietario del efectivo y la tienda pudo devolver el dinero.

"Normally we have no way of knowing who the money belongs to," said Frank Holland, vice president of donated goods in the non -profit chain."Even if we wanted to try to return it to someone, there was no way to know who that person was".

Lessing, madre de una nena de 6 años, admitió que era difícil no pensar en cómo podría haber usado el dinero si hubiera podido conservarlo.

"I have a daughter, I love her very much and you can't put my daughter price," he said. “Sé lo que podría correr el riesgo de robar ese dinero y creo en el karma.I think if you do something good, something good will return to you ".

Afortunadamente, Lessing no se quedó con las manos vacías: el dueño del dinero la sorprendió con un regalo de 1.000 dollars in cash.

"My daughter's birthday approaches in July, so I can give her an incredible birthday party," Lessing on the reward said.

Este reciente descubrimiento de Goodwill no es la única sorpresa que apareció en los medios en los últimos años: en 2018, se donó una copia enmarcada de una edición del 28 de diciembre de 1774 del periódico Pennsylvania Journal and Weekly Advertiser a una tienda Goodwill de Nueva Jersey y se estimó en $ 18.000.

And in a unique case, a client bought a video recorder containing a VHS tape of a baby who was taking his first steps and could return it to the family through social networks.
