World’s Kindest Waiter Returns $32,000 in Cash Left at His Table. Here's hoping somebody finds this waiter and leaves a ridiculous tip: A family unschooled in Murphy's law was eating at a Fresno, California, Applebee's Wednesday night, and for some reason brought $32,000 in cash to their table. When they got up, they left their gigantic sum at the table, but lucky for them, their server found the sack containing a year's worth of his pay — in a section of the restaurant without security cameras, no less — and marched it straight over to the local police station.

The Gonzalez family isn't Fresno's modern-day Rockefellers, either, who ordinarily carry bags of cash with them. This was the family's business savings, and it was headed for a bank safe-deposit box, only the bank didn't have any available that day, so they ended up toting all the money around. Erika Gonzalez said the situation made for an awkward family conversation later ("I didn't know how to tell my dad"). Naturally, they were astonished once they called to report it missing and a detective told them that, sure enough, he was staring at it up at Fresno PD.

First of all what about not stealing money left on a table makes you a hero? The dude just did the right thing. Second who carries $32K around in sack and leaves it at an Applebee? The dude turned into the police for a reason, lets just hope the police are as smart as the guy who turned in it in. Wacky world my friends, very wacky.

The dude behaved like a good Christian.

I don't buy it. Sounds like drug money. That's probably the real reason he turned it in.

They called police and reported it missing.......by then he had taken it to the police station.

I think if it was drug money.....no body would have gone to the cops.

The "Gonzalez" family would have nothing to do with drug money
