What Would You Do With $40,000?

Well I'm not sure what I would do if I found $40,000 thousand but at the same time I know many that certainly wouldn't return it. Josh and Tara Ferrin, of Salt Lake City, however are one of the many few that think differently. The Ferrin's purchased the house and were excited to have a place of their own.Josh Ferrin went to pick up the keys to the house and went to look at and inspect it. When he entered the garage he notice a white piece of cloth sticking out from an attic door. He opened the door and climbed in the attic where he found a box with the money twined together in tight bundles. Josh Ferrin called his wife and then took the money to his parents house to count it. When they had stopped counting they were at 40,000 dollars and assumed there was about 5,000 dollars more.

This is where many would began to disagree with the Ferrin's. After counting the money Josh decided to contact the previous owner of the house. The house was sold when the previous owner and his wife had both passed away and the house belonged to their children. When Josh got in contact with the family he let them know that he had found the money and they were just as shocked as he was. They knew their father who had put away the money for them was a saver but didn't know he had saved so much over the years. 
Although the Ferrin's could have used the money for themselves they did return all of it. This is something most people wouldn't have the heart or courtesy to do. I must say if there were more people like the Ferrin's the world would be a much greater place.
