Man Loses $1,300 In Supermarket, Good Samaritan Returns It
CLEARWATER, Fla. (CBS Local) - A good Samaritan in Florida made this year's Fourth of July celebration unforgettable after returning $1,300 to a man who lost it in a local supermarket.

Although Woods believed the money was gone forever, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office shared the surveillance images with the public on July 3 in the hopes someone found the cash and was willing to turn it in.
