Josh Ferrin from Utah was in his workshop when he noticed a scrap of carpet sticking out of the ceiling. He pulled on it, and an access panel to the attic popped open. He saw a metal container, opened the lid, and found several rolls of money tied up in twine.
But there was more than one box of money — he found another 7 boxes full to the brim, plus 2 big black trash bags full of cash. In all, about $45,000.
Josh thought that the right thing to do was return the money to the previous owners. So he called them and asked them to drop by. Of course, the previous owners were really shocked.
They had recently inherited the house and said it must have been their dad who had hidden the money.
