Atlanta airport worker turns in $7,000 in lost cash

Published March 06, 2013

ATLANTA – A part-time parking deck worker at Atlanta's airport says she never thought about keeping the envelope with $7,000 in cash she found on the curb outside the international terminal.

Pamela North Hollowaay says she turned it in right away, then watched as her supervisor counted the money and contacted Atlanta police to pick it up.

North Hollowaay says she could have kept the cash but didn't because she's an honest person who believes in doing the right thing.

A police report shows that the envelope contained 70 $100 bills.

Police tell WSB-TV that an Alabama podiatrist who was on his way to Costa Rica called police to see if anyone had turned in the money. Police say he was able to identify specific writing on the envelope and how the money was wrapped.

Film at 11...... 🤔

I'm sure he remembered all the crap that backed up the security line at the airport, left his belt on, didn't take out his laptop, and didn't realize he couldn't take his Rambo knife on the plane, the one with the compass in the handle, and fishing line inside there too.

But he dropped his $7000. Dummy.

Funny, but I don't socialize with the parking deck workers . . .

People leave things out here all the time. When they arrive at the airport they're scatter-brained, thinking about 100 different things pertaining to their flight. Especially those who don't travel often. I found a wallet last night with over 300 bucks in it. We count it out in front of a supervisor, to assure 2-1 against any accusations of thievery. I foud a name inside the wallet & paiged the passenger, and she returned a short time later. Happens all the time, rarely with an envelope of 7 grand, though.

I'm glad she did the right thing. The local paper posted a WWYD column on their FB page, and I was saddened by all the "finders-keepers" remarks, but sadly not surprised . . .

If I can't contact RAM directly I just try to guess what he would do

I forgot to add, that when I found the wallet last night, I took it to my supervisor, and she asked, "Where it found?", I replied, "It found over there" . . . 😕
