LOOSE CHANGE: AUGUST 30, 2026

According to police, another shopper dropped $30 on the ground while inside the store. The person pictured then allegedly picked up the money but did not hand it over to Walmart employees.

The department has now appealed to anyone who recognizes the person or has information that could help identify them.

Comments on the police department's post were largely unhelpful, with the most liked simply reading "Finders keepers."

A Florida man has gone viral after getting his hands on millions of dollars that washed up on a beach in Fort Lauderdale, and he immediately called the police.

Several videos of the incident have appeared online since May 24, with the man yet to be named. He has only been identified by the red shorts he had been wearing when he was seen grabbing the bundle of cash and taking it ashore.

As per multiple reports, he apparently called the police after finding the money, as he wasn't too sure what it was in the first place. "He probably thought it was drugs the way it was packaged," one social media user said.

The Miami woman accused of posing as a bank representative to scam a Martin County senior is now facing an additional charge after deputies say she tried to smuggle thousands of dollars in cash into jail hidden in an unexpected hiding spot — her lady parts.

According to the Martin County Sheriff's Office, Monquie Love Turnbull never mentioned she was carrying $3,180 in cash concealed in her body when she was arrested, and the money wasn't discovered until she was being processed into the jail. The sheriff's office has since confirmed the cash is the same money taken from one of her alleged scam victims.

Sheriff John Budensiek said Turnbull revealed she had the money inside her body when she complained of pain during a jail phone call to an unknown man.

"Our detectives went back over to the jail. They interviewed her yet again. She admitted to having money inside of her. She said at that point it was only $400. And then later, as they interviewed her a little more, she said it was $3,180," said Budensiek.

[A] widow was directed to buy $700,000 in gold — but an alert store owner intervened before crooks could make off with her money, records show.

Instead, a young man reportedly sent to West Michigan from Illinois to fetch the gold ended up with a bag of chocolate coins and a pair of 20-year felonies.

"They didn't know they were getting chocolate gold coins," said Ben Soldaat, owner of Grand Rapids Coins, who alerted authorities to the suspected scam in early May.

"It just didn't add up to me and I've run into a few (scams) before in the past," said Soldaat, who opened his Algoma Township business in 2020.

The Ottawa County woman, believing her Social Security account was being used to fund terrorism, said she went online looking for gold stores and came across Soldaat's business on 10 Mile Road NE near US-131. She made the 40-mile drive and spent several minutes talking with Soldaat.

Soldaat contacted the Kent County Sheriff's Office "just to play it safe."

"The undercover agent dressed up like an older woman, came in and got a package of chocolate gold coins from us to deliver to the courier," Soldaat said with a laugh. "I'm glad they did it like that. It was certainly quick thinking on their end."
