According to 11 Alive News, the man walked into the restaurant across from the DeKalb County Courthouse at approximately 8:30 a.m. on April 1. Security camera footage shows the man order breakfast and sit down to eat. About that time, a big stack of bills fell out of the man’s coat pocket.

Somehow, the man didn’t notice the money was gone, and actually stepped on top of the money as he was walking away after finishing his meal. Even more amazing, security camera footage showed that nobody else in the dining area seemed to have noticed the money on the floor.

An employee eventually picked up the money and gave it to the manager, who counted it out and discovered just how much cash had been lying on the floor. The manager told 11 Alive News that he has asked his regular customers if they know the man, but has come up empty so far.

If you know who the money belongs to, contact the Chick-fil-A at (404) 371-1466.
