REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, VISALIA — A California man is being praised for his honesty after he turned in 6,900 USD in cash he found near a Department of Motor Vehicles office in the Central Valley. The money eventually was returned to its rightful owner.

Forty-six-year-old Breck Reeves told the Fresno Bee he spotted an envelope on the ground Aug. 6 while going to the Visalia DMV. Inside was a stack of $100 bills totaling 6,900 USD.

Reeves says he might have kept the money if it had been 20 USD or so, but this was too much. He turned in the money at the DMV, and Visalia police eventually tracked down its rightful owner, 69-year-old retired farmworker Guadalupe Salazar.

Salazar had taken the money out of the bank to buy his son a new car. The envelope apparently fell out of Salazar's car when he opened the door. Salazar plans to take the Reeves to dinner.
