Three roommates in New Paltz, New York, bought a used couch from a Salvation Army thrift store for about $20

Three roommates in New Paltz, New York, bought a used couch from a Salvation Army thrift store for about $20 and later discovered it was stuffed with envelopes filled with cash. As they pulled out the bubble-wrapped bills from inside the sofa’s cushions, they realized the total amounted to more than $40,000, an amount that left them shocked and excited at first.

After finding a deposit slip with a woman’s name among the money, they called and located the original owner, a 91-year-old widow who had inadvertently lost the cash when her family donated the couch while she was ill. Instead of keeping the money, the roommates returned the full amount to her, believing it was the right thing to do since it wasn’t theirs.
