BANK DEPOSIT TUBE
Woman finds, turns in $20,000 in cash
A woman who works as a makeup artist and deli clerk found $20,000 at a Lake Havasu City, Ariz., bank’s drive-up depository, then walked into the bank and turned over the cash.
Linda Hatch said her mind raced after she found the two $10,000 bundles in a plastic deposit tube on June 25.
"Am I in the middle of a bank robbery … a drug bust? Is someone going to pick up the money? I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh. What do I do?’"
Hatch said she filed a police report in the days after turning over the cash and has not been told whether the owner has surfaced.
She had no second thoughts about turning in the cash.
"It’s not enough money to move to Mexico," she said.
