Next time you make a clothing donation to your local thrift store, be sure to check all the pockets ... and the shoeboxes.
On Teodora Petrova's first day on the job at an Illinois Goodwill store, she found more than loafers in a shoebox -- namely $7,500 in cash.
Not a bad payoff for a day's work, right? Not for Petrova, who recently moved to the U.S. from her native Bulgaria: She immediately reported her find to her supervisor.
Goodwill is working to reunite the cash with its accidental donor. If the person isn't located, the money will "go toward the charity's job-placement efforts."
