An Enderby business owner went from tears of panic to tears of joy after losing a substantial amount of cash and having it returned.
Faith in humanity has been restored for River Johnson, after she lost a money bag containing $7,000 cash Tuesday, June 2, at Vernon91裸聊视频檚 Walmart. She had left her shop in a rush that day to take her elderly parents to the store to get some essentials.
The money, which she puts in a security box each night, was with her (as she wasn91裸聊视频檛 going to leave it in the car), but somehow got misplaced during the shopping trip.
91裸聊视频滻 was in tears,91裸聊视频� said Johnson, who got home and was panicked to find it missing.
She figured it must be at the store, and despite being closed by this time, someone answered the phone when she called. She couldn91裸聊视频檛 believe her ears when a man told her that he had indeed found her money and it was safe and sound.

She immediately wondered if even she would have done the same thing, had she found the money.
