'If I knew I was wrong in the first place, I would have given it right back,' Robert Withington said.
A Connecticut man says it felt like he won the lottery when he discovered a bag with nearly $5,000 in cash lying in a parking lot. So, he decided to keep it.It turns out the bag, which Trumbull Police said was clearly marked with a bank's insignia and found outside the same bank, contained cash from the town's tax department. There were also "numerous documents" inside identifying the rightful owner of the cash as the town of Trumbull, police said.
The Associated Press on Tuesday left a message seeking comment on Withington's business cell phone. Other numbers listed for Withington were no longer in service. "I walked out onto the parking lot, saw something on the ground and there was no one around so I picked it up," Withington told Hearst. "It's not like I stole something."
When police eventually interviewed Withington, they said he acknowledged being at the bank that day and taking the bag. He told them that he believed "he had no obligation to return the bag to its rightful owner," according to the release.
