Finders keepers: Fort Bragg police use Facebook to urge return of money found in grocery store

Fort Bragg, 2/17/22 — Lost property reports don’t always result in thorough investigations, but when a woman in her 70s dropped an envelope containing more than $1,000 cash at Harvest Market in Fort Bragg Wednesday, rookie Fort Bragg Police Officer Rory Beak checked the security footage. Police allege that a man in a camo jacket was watching when the victim dropped that envelope full of cash, after which he then picked it up and left the store. 

“Sometimes good people make bad decisions, and in this instance we hoped the post would reach that individual and convince them to do the right thing,” Capt. Thomas O’Neal said in an email this morning.
