A man in Lewisville, Texas, discovered a bag with $128,514 at a Bank of America ATM along with a bag of 19 checks. He did not take a single cent, but instead attempted to find the owner of the cash, according to a report by CBS News.

The 37-year-old man first contacted the Chick-fil-A next door, believing it was its money. He then called 911. Authorities counted the money and confirmed the total matched a bank receipt within the bag.

This incident was not tied to criminal activity but instead was left there by accident by a Brink's technician who was servicing the machine. Bank of America recovered the funds.
