Man Finds $15K In Bag On Delco Street

Imagine if you found $15,200 worth of cash just sitting on the road.

Would you keep it?

Would you turn it in?

A Springfield man was faced with that conundrum Monday, and he's being lauded for making the right choice.

Bob Tracey, 61, of Springfield found the cash late Monday night on State Road in Upper Darby and notified police.

Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood held an afternoon press conference Tuesday to congratulate Tracey for calling authorities.

Tracey, a SEPTA employee, spotted the cash on his drive home from work and immediately called police, CBS news reported.

“I knew I did the right thing because in this day and age I know how valuable this money is for someone, if it was a night drop or someone leaving the supermarket. I just thought I was absolutely doing the right thing. I couldn’t keep that," he said during the press conference, according to the network.

Authorities do not know yet where the cash came from; no robberies or missing money have been recently reported, the Philadelphia Inquirer said.
