Capan is quoted by the publication confirming they managed to secure the family and returned the cash. The supervisor explained his team received an urgent call to track down the driver. He said:
"They were cleaning out their house for their grandmother and they cleaned out the refrigerator, threw out all the garbage, grabbed all the freezer stuff and put it in a bag. And then the grandma was like, 'Hey, there's an envelope with $25,000 in there, don't lose that.' "If the cash got dropped at the landfill, there's no finding it any more.”
