TAMPA,None — What would you do if you found a briefcase filled with thousands of dollars on the side of the road?
That's exactly the question a man in Tampa was faced with after finding $8,000 inside a briefcase on Highway 301 on Saturday.
But, Frank Colla said he made the right decision, and now he's being praised for returning the money to its rightful owner.
It turned out the owner had eaten at a restaurant and then drove off with the briefcase on top of his car.
When Colla first found the cash, he said it took him a second to decide what to do, but in the end he did what he felt was the right thing.
"There was stuff going on in my head as to what are the legal ramifications for me to keep this or whatever, but my moral obligation and integrity said you're going to have to return it,” he said.
The owner of the briefcase did not want his name released.
