A couple in Ohio accidentally dropped off a duffel bag containing almost $100,000 at an Ohio Goodwill. Thanks to a couple of honest employees, they got back every dime.

日前,美國俄亥俄州的一對夫婦誤把一個裝有近10萬美元現金的行李袋落在了一家古德威爾慈善商店。多虧了這家店裏一對善良的夫婦,他們纔沒有分毫的損失。

The employees at the Zanesville, Ohio, Goodwill were going through donations last week when they came across a duffel bag. Inside the bag was $97,004, a living will and marriage certificate.

上週,俄亥俄州贊斯維爾市古德威爾的員工們在整理捐贈物品時,發現了這個行李袋,包裏有97004美元現金、一份生前遺囑和結婚證書。

At first they thought the cash was fake, employee Kelsey Croy told CNN.

店員凱爾西·克羅伊在接受CNN採訪時表示,起初他們以爲這些現金是假的。

"It was so much cash they figured it was fake at first and then thought, 'Well no, maybe it's actually counterfeit money,'" Croy said. "So they brought it into the store office.

克羅伊說:"一下子看到這麼多鈔票,我們起初以爲它是假的,'恩,對,它們可能是僞鈔',所以我們將錢帶到了辦公室。"

"I looked in the bag and we counted it right there on the desk. And it was $97,004."

"我們查看了包包,把錢都放在桌子上點了點,一共是97004美元。"

Thankfully, the owners asked for a receipt for tax purposes when they dropped off the goods that morning.

幸運的是,捐贈者那天早上將物品搬下車時要了收據以交稅。

The employees immediately called the couple but no one answered. Not wanting to leave that amount of cash in the store, they called in the Zanesville Police Department.

店員馬上撥通了那對夫妻的電話,但無人接聽。不想將這麼大一筆錢留在店裏,他們打給了贊斯維爾公安局。

After repeated calls, officers finally got a hold of the couple, Capt. Chris Phipps told CNN. The couple hadn't realized the money was missing.

警察局長克里斯·菲普斯向CNN透露,在多次撥打後,工作人員終於聯繫上了這對夫妻。這對夫妻此時還未意識到他們丟了這麼大一筆錢。

The couple told police their bank was closing. So, they withdrew all their money to move it to another bank.

這對夫妻告知警方,他們要去的那家銀行關門了,所以他們取出所有的錢準備去另一家銀行。

On the way to the new bank, they stopped at Goodwill to drop off a bag of clothes. That's how the money ended up there.

在去新的銀行的路上,他們在古德威爾店停了下來,捐贈了一袋衣物。這就是那些鈔票爲何落在了店裏。

The couple has since made contact with the original employees who found the money to thank them. "I'm just glad that I work with a bunch of honest and loyal employees," Croy told CNN.

這對夫婦後來還聯繫了最早發現這筆錢的店員,表達了謝意。克羅伊在接受CNN採訪時表示:"我很高興能和這樣一羣誠實又忠誠的員工共事。"
