Sean McMahon found a pile of cash. $500 big ones!!!!

And then he went shopping!!

Okay, that’s not true.

He did find the pile of money though.

Along Baseline Road on Grand Island – literally on the side of the road in a ditch, “I was just driving near the pipeline and it was blowing all around the street”, Sean recalls, “I did a quick u-turn and started picking it up. It didn’t feel real but I was just trying to get it all before it blew away. Thought it might be someone’s rent money. Realized it wasn’t real when I didn’t see any of those strips they put in them now.”

All that money.

 

 

Real or fake, Sean was doing what any good citizen would do.

He took it to the Police.  Deputies with the Erie County Sheriff’s Department confirmed the money was fake! Each bill had the same serial number.

It wasn’t counterfeit though.

Upon further inspection, the cash says – “This not is not legal, it is to be used for motion pictures.”

Movie money!

Perhaps someone was trying to use it and got scared. Or maybe a movie star is close by.

Who knows.

The moral of the story here – Sean did the right thing – and we’re not surprised. We’ve known him for a long time!

It always pays to do the right thing. 🙂

If you happen to know who the movie money belongs to let us know!

Or maybe we will wait and see a version of What Would you do? on ABC featuring Sean!!
