A trip to a grocery store in Gilford turned into an experience this woman will remember after finding a bag of cash in the parking lot.

Sonjya O'Brien came to Hannaford for dinner, but what she found instead was bag of bills, laying in the lot outside the supermarket in Gilford.

“The Brinks truck was pulling away from the front of the store as we pulled in and the back door to the truck was open and we didn't see anything fall out or anything, and we walked over towards the entrance of the store and looked down and there was a bag of money,” O’Brien said.

O’Brien says the bills looked like ones wrapped in separate $100 bundles.

“I just kind of picked it up and held it close to me because I was a little bit worried that someone else would see it and run off with it or something,” O’Brien said.

After taking a second to process what happened, she walked right to the grocery store's customer service counter to turn it in.

“It's Hannaford’s money,” O’Brien said. “It's not my money.”

The grocery store gave O’Brien a $100 gift card in return.

She encourages others, when given the opportunity, to do the right thing.
