A Florida homeless man has a reason to smile again after the local police did some amazing detective work.
It all started when the homeless man's relative passed away and left him a little over $12,000. The homeless man, not being very trusting of banks, went to withdraw all of the money as $100 bills. After getting some much needed new clothes, the man sat on his favorite bench, and mistakenly left behind the huge sum of money.
The two envelopes full of cash in crisp $100 bills sat unnoticed for a while, until John Harbett noticed the odd "trash" sitting on the green bench. Herbett volunteers his time to patrol the beach, keeping his eye out for baby turtles, when he came across one of the envelopes filled with $3,900 cash.
Later that morning, Police Officer Ben Koos spotted the other plastic bag stuffed with $5,600. Harbett dropped off the money to the police department, and the cops quickly realized that there must be someone out there very worried about their lost dough!
Through an intense bit of detective work, the amazing police force in this Florida town did everything they could to trace back the trail of who could have lost such a large sum of cash. Like an episode of Columbo, the whole trail started when they found a single receipt.
