There was only a few hundred dollars in my deposit satchel (normal for us most people paid with credit cards it seems). I get to the bank and sitting on the ground in front of the night deposit box is a silver bank deposit bag. I make my deposit and pick the other deposit bag up off the ground. I see written on the front that it was from a local auto parts store and machine shop. It is half open so I look inside and there is a ton of cash. I do a quick count and realize there is about 12k in the bag. I decide that whoever made the deposit must have fucked up and dropped the bag instead of putting in in the night drop slot. I used the pay phone right next to the bank (this is pre cellphone) to call the auto parts store. They are closed but have an emergency number. I call that (it put me through to the manager) and tell him what is going on. He is shocked and on his way to the bank to meet me. I sat in my car for about 30 minutes with 12k in cash in my lap until he got there. I have never seen a guy more thankful. I thought he was going to offer to blow me. From the sounds of it whoever was supposed to make the deposit would be looking for a job the next day.
