Amazingly honest woman turns in lost purse with $11,340 inside

11/20/2012

Cheryl Gavazzi has to be the most honest person in Massachusetts. Last week Gavazzi spotted a Vera Bradley handbag on the rack at Marshalls. Inside it she found diapers, wipes and, oh, $11,340. "I liked it … I was thinking of buying it," she says. "I wanted to see the size of it, and there was a roll of money in there." Tropical vacation? Down payment on a car? Nope. Gavazzi delivered the cash to police, who matched it with a missing-bag report. The money had been raised to help build a church in Guatemala, and the distraught owner was considering selling his car to replace the funds. "It was the right thing to do," says Gavazzi. [Source]
