Police in Georgia are asking for the public’s help identifying a Walmart shopper who allegedly picked up $30 another customer dropped and kept the cash.

The Albany Police Department shared an image of the unidentified person on Facebook, saying the incident happened at the Walmart located at 2586 N. Slappey Blvd. in Albany, Georgia.

According to police, another shopper dropped $30 on the ground while inside the store. The person pictured then allegedly picked up the money but did not hand it over to Walmart employees.

“The Albany Police Department would like the public’s assistance with identifying the suspect in the photo,” the department said in a post on August 19.

Police added: “An individual dropped $30.00 on the ground while shopping. This individual picked up the money and did not turn it in to the employees.”

The department has now appealed to anyone who recognizes the person or has information that could help identify them.

Comments on the police department’s post were largely unhelpful, with the most liked simply reading “Finders keepers.”

“I’ll cover the $30, leave the old guy alone,” another wrote, and another responded, “If it was a wallet or something, I would get this, but $30 cash on the ground? WTH?”

Anyone with relevant information has been asked to contact the Albany Police Department at 229-431-2100.
