Wisconsin Couple Finds $42,000 on Road
TWO RIVERS, Wis. (April 22) - Honesty prevailed when a couple turned in $42,000 they found in a folder on the road and turned it over to police.

Christopher Dondlinger and his wife, Cheryl, were driving to Cheryl's 8:15 a.m. appointment at a local clinic Thursday when he spotted a folder in the road.

"I thought maybe some child dropped it in the street and maybe we would find some children's drawings," he said. "I opened it up and found a substantial amount of money." A total of $42,240 in cash and checks, to be exact.

They never considered keeping the money, Christopher Dondlinger said: "We were not brought up that way."

As an officer counted the folder's contents, authorities received a call from the woman who lost it - an accountant for a local fast-food company.

Police speculate she had set it on the roof of her car and drove off.
