A New Mexico teen who turned lost money to the police

Tweet

I like the way that 19 year old Jose Nunez Romaniz decided to do what is right when he went to a Wells Fargo bank in Albuquerque New Mexico on Sunday to make a deposit to the ATM machine to pay for socks that he ordered online for his grandfather. I can imagine what was going through Jose's mind when he saw a plastic bag on the ground next to the ATM machine. Jose claims that he no intentions to borrow the plastic bag that had $135,000 inside since I know that taking property without permission of the property owner is called stealing. Jose decided to do what is right and contact the local police who sent two officers to the bank where Jose turned in the money to the police. The police found out that a subcontractor left the money outside of the ATM by accident. What remains to be seen is if Jose will receive a reward from the owner of the money that was found outside of the ATM or not. In my view Jose did the right thing by being honest since I am sure that there are cameras placed in the Wells Fargo bank building that would have identified Jose as a person of interest had he decided to take the money and run. Thank goodness he did the right thing and be a honest teenager.
