FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (AP) — A Virginia family out for a ride to get a change of scenery after being holed up due to the coronavirus found nearly $1 million in two bags lying in the road.

David and Emily Schantz left their Caroline County home with their children last Saturday and drove their pickup truck over what they thought was a bag of trash, then stopped and picked it up as well as another bag nearby, news sources reported Tuesday. The Schantzes tossed the bags in the back of their pickup truck and kept riding, according to Emily Schantz.

Only when the Schantzes returned home did they discover the bags contained money, she said.

“Inside of the bag, there were plastic baggies and they were addressed with something that said ‘cash vault,’” Schantz told WTVR.

They contacted the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office, which sent deputies to the home. The deputies took inventory and determined the money totaled nearly $1 million.

Caroline Sheriff’s Maj. Scott Moser said authorities have since determined where the money was headed, but are still trying to figure out how it ended up in the middle of a road in Goochland County. Moser would not say specifically where the money was going. But he said he hopes the recipients offer the Schantzes a nice reward.

“Their actions deserve nothing less,” Moser said. “They saved someone a lot of money and set a wonderful example for everyone else.”

Key word is "Nearly". There was 1 million dollars there but they took about 20K to make their lives more comfortable. Not as dumb as you think.

Hopefully that sheriff's department can buy a new tank or some tahoes or golf carts to help take a bite out of crime

And why the hell did they go to the sheriff with the 1.25 mil.

I would feel so guilty if I kept the money. Especially after the plane ride home from my luxury resort vacation with hookers and blow.

Just think of the children in mexico that could have benefited from that money.

If I was a cop and found the money myself, I would have been a dirty cop after that.

I'd pay the taxes on it before I gave it to the cops.

My concern if I had found the cash and kept it would be that the former owners of the cash were less than legitimate, would be looking for the money, and if found would probably prefer that me and my family not be able to ever tell anyone about the money.
