A thrift store clerk in Valparaiso, Indiana, found $7,000 in cash in the pocket of a donated coat — and was able to track down the owner to return the money.
Jennifer Kimes, who works at the thrift store Plato’s Closet, found a big roll of $100 bills when examining a donated coat.
She immediately put the money in a safe spot in the cash register — then called her boss Tammy Wendland.
