A Utah man got a surprise when he stopped to pull a massive orange bag off the highway, fearing that it would turn out to be a targeted traffic hazard.
The Deseret News reports (http://bit.ly/1BRXSdg ) the 75-pound bag tumbled out of a truck driving in front of Dan Kennedy on Interstate 80 on Tuesday. When he looked inside, he found stacks of cash.
“I believed it was going to be light. I reached down to grab it, and I could not move it,” Kennedy mentioned.
Around four feet tall and 2 feet wide, the sack was filled with smaller bags packed with currency which includes $50 and $100 bills. Kennedy estimated every single of the tiny bags contained $22,000.
It was unclear Thursday how much revenue the complete bag contained.
Kennedy attempted but failed to chase down the Brink’s armored truck that had lost the bag. He then drove the cash to his perform parking lot and called the police.The three Utah Highway Patrol troopers had been “stunned” at the bag of money, Kennedy stated.
“Never in all my years have I heard of a bag of money bouncing out of the back of an armored truck,” mentioned trooper Brady Zaugg. “That is one thing that happens in the spy films.” Kennedy mentioned it by no means occurred to him to do anything other than turn in the dollars.
“He hadn’t disturbed it at all, so he obviously did the suitable thing for the right cause,” said Zaugg, who stated Kennedy reported his come across to the police immediately.
Brink’s staff told police they drove more than a terrible bump on a highway off-ramp but did not notice the back latch opening or the bag falling out. Kennedy said he hasn’t heard anything about a reward for his great deed, but he was still excited by the uncommon discovery.
“I was just jazzed all day lengthy,” he stated.
