$3100 Cash Returned To 90 Year Old Widow

90 year old Evelyn Weiner got an unexpected surprise when she turned in an old film canister for processing.She had sent the 70 year old rolls of film off to be converted to DVD format by a Georgia company called Yes Video. An employee at the company discovered more than just film in the canister though. Hidden inside was also $3100 in cash which the late Mickey Weiner had hidden away in hopes of someday using it to take his wife on a trip to Isreal. Sadly he never got that chance and Evelyn had no idea he had stashed the money away.
It would have been easy enough for the Yes Video employee to simply pocket the money themselves but instead they worked to notify Mrs. Weiner of her good fortune and the money was returned to her. She sees this act as a renewal of her faith in the humanity of others and a sign that her husband is still watching over her to this day.
"When you pick up the newspaper or watch the television, everybody's bad, everybody steals," she stated, "And here, somebody hands me money that I didn't know was there."
