A man who found and returned a bag containing £10,000 was fined for lying about where he found it.
The 54-year-old discovered the bag next to a cash machine and decided to do the honourable thing and hand it in. He took the bag to his local police station but instead of being praised for his honesty found himself being fined £300 for lying about the specific location he'd found it.
You'd think that finding more than £10,000 in cash, in a bag next to a cash machine, and returning it to its rightful owners would be applauded. But for one man, all that it resulted in was a £300 fine. Robert Adams, 54, saw the bag full of money next to a cash machine with Chase Bank's logo on the side. Instead of taking advantage, the resident of Arlington Heights, Illinois, returned it to the bank in question.
