Bountiful, Utah – A man who found more than $40,000 cash in the Utah home he recently bought has returned the money to its rightful owner, The Salt Lake City Tribune reported Thursday.
Josh Ferrin discovered the money stuffed in eight ammo boxes in the attic while he was exploring a workshop room in the Bountiful home on Tuesday.
"I opened it up, freaked out. Closed it, locked it in my truck and called my wife," Ferrin said of the surprise.
At the time he thought of his car troubles, repairs and renovations for the house and his desire to adopt a child -- but he returned it to the owner.
"I couldn't let myself consider the money mine," he said.
"This little guy [the previous homeowner] didn't put it there for me. He put it there for a rainy day," he said.

Amen
And the previous owner forgot it was there?
Oh, previous owner had died.
Just goes to show the article should be read first. My bad.
2:44 it doesn't matter. the money could be returned to his family members who are still living.
bottomline, the money wasn't his and he knew it.
Umm, thanks but that wasn't what I was saying.
Forgery money and now you get the charge too for transporting the evidence.
Excuse me ...right after settlement, everything within those doors changes hands.
