Newlyweds Lose Honeymoon Cash - Good Samaritan Returns $3,600!

Two newlyweds were in such a hurry to celebrate their nuptials with a honeymoon, they lost their $3,600 cash stash for the trip they had tucked away in their brand new wedding album! A Pennsylvania couple had just gotten married and placed the album on the car as they prepared to drive away from the ceremony.

They forgot it was there, and newly married couple David and Ashley Marasco mistakenly driven off with their wedding album on top of the trunk of their car Sunday.

It would later fly off the trunk and into the road and on top of losing the album, the money had been tucked inside.


Fortunately an honest man found it.

The Times-Union reports Brennan Breene and he "saw the envelope with cash sticking out Sunday in the middle of Washington Pike, a busy highway southwest of Pittsburgh. So, he stopped to pick it up."

He says he learned about the Maraco's misfortune Monday from local news websites, so he gave the cash to police to be returned. He said: "keeping it just wasn't the right thing to do."

hi

There still good people in the world

I would have returned it as well and I could use that kind of money. I believe in karma.

BRISTOL, R.I. (WPRI) - A Good Samaritan's honest act pays off big for a forgetful gambler.
The absent minded man stopped at Nacho Mama's in Bristol on Friday on his way back from a trip to Mohegan Sun. It's there he left his winnings and engagement ring for his girlfriend.
"I am here doing something... and a little girl said here's a bag someone left here and I didn't think anything of it," says Mike Siino, the owner of Nacho Mama's.
Hours later, after lunch cleanup, Siino looked into the bag and discovered a massive stash of cash. The bills were wrapped in wads of $5,000 with the Mohegan Sun logo on them.
Siino called police, who tracked down the owner through a receipt for the engagement ring.
"I believe in karma, its a big thing," says Siino.
The owner of the money and the ring is a professional gambler. He got his money back and on Monday he paid Siino a visit and gave him a reward.
"He handed me an envelope, and there was $1,000 in it. We needed it more than anything after this long winter, I went right next door to Citizens Bank and deposited it."
Siino used the cash to a pay a bill and says he'll sleep easy knowing he did the right thing.
