Homeless Man Finds $200,000 In NYC Trash Can
Perhaps one of the luckiest and most honest people on the planet, Berry Holden recently went from living on the streets of New York, to living on the streets of New York with a giant bag of cash.Holden said that he hadÂ been homeless on the streets of New York City for over 20 years, until one lucky Sunday while he wasÂ in the park. As Holden was sleeping on a bench, he noticed a man pass by and throw away almost an entire sandwich into a nearby trash bin.âI was starving, and needed something in my stomach. I just woke up as the man passed by, and it was perfect timing, because it was a roast beef sub, and I love roast beef,â said Holden. âWhen I went over to the trash can so I could dig out the sandwich, I had trouble finding it,Â so had to dig deep in the can to grab it. When I was digging I noticed a very large, heavy bag and lifted it out. WhenÂ  I opened it I couldnât believe my eyes!âHolden saidÂ that once he found the money, he forgot all about the sandwich â at least the discarded one.âI went and bought myselfÂ lunch, a new outfit, and got myself a haircut. After doing all of those things, I went back to the park and tried to find the right full owner of the money,â said Holden. âI enjoy being homeless â thatâs why I did it. It wasnât drugs or booze or the stock market that made me homeless. I see normal people constantly pissed off and angry, and I remember being pissed off and angry when I worked all day. Now I have no commitments.âI would have left the cash there, but I was starving, and my clothes and hair were getting kind of gross. Iâm still looking or the rightful owner. Iâve counted the money 4 times now, and it is about $200,000.âHolden claims he will return the money to the rightful owner if he runs into them. In the meantime, he is still remaining on the streets and doesnât plan to spend any more of the cash.
