Sock Full of Cash – Honesty Story #3

January 24th, 2007

I heard this story a few weeks ago on CNN. It is a great story and also a bit humorous. It made me laugh because at least half a dozen times I’ve hidden money so well that later I can’t find it without having to tear apart the room. In fact, once when I was a kid, I put some money in a book and found it a year later much to my surprise. Unfortunately, hidden money doesn’t pay dividends or yield any kind of interest, not even if it is $3,000 like in this story.

A construction company, Wood Wise Construction, was hired by Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission to renovate a bedroom and bathroom for a family whose son was handicapped as a result of a motorcycle accident. During the renovation process the plumber made an amazing discovery in the floorboard, he found a sock with $3,000 in cash. According to story I found published in the Leominister’s Own Weekly Newspaper, the plumber’s reaction was “I thought I hit the jackpot”. He also realized that someone had put it there and that it should be returned to its rightful owner.

The owner of the construction company, along with his honest crew, made sure the sock full of money was return to the owner of the house. The honesty they displayed, I am sure, will not be forgotten by the owner of the house.
