Man find $8,000 cash, returns it to owners

TAMPA, Fla. — A Tampa man is being called a Good Samaritan after he found a briefcase full of cash and returned it to its owner.

Frank Colla spotted the black briefcase lying in the road. Inside, he found papers, a telegram and $100 bills totaling $8,000.

Colla knew he had to give it back and began searching the paperwork for clues.

Meanwhile, frantic parents were searching for the briefcase they accidently left on top of their car Sunday after leaving a restaurant with their three small children.

The woman's husband was out retracing his steps when Colla called. She declined comment and didn't want to be named.

The Tampa Bay Times says she didn't offer a reward.

Colla is a retired UPS worker and now works as a part-time security guard.
