Boston police say a homeless man who found a backpack containing tens of thousands of dollars in cash and traveler’s checks turned it over to authorities.
The man, whose name was not made public, found the backpack at the South Bay Mall in the city’s Dorchester (dawr-CHES’-ter) neighborhood at about 5:30 p.m. Saturday.
He flagged down patrolling officers and handed it over.
The backpack contained $2,400 in U.S. currency, almost $40,000 in traveler’s checks, Chinese passports and other personal papers.
Meanwhile, the man who lost the backpack informed workers at the Best Buy store at the mall.
The man was taken to the police station, where he was confirmed as the rightful owner.

Thanks for the phonetic spelling on Dorchester
This is only half the story What was a Chinese national doing with over 40k in cash? if it was me i would have never returned it, im sure most people wouldnt. the guy was homeless probably missing a few screws as most of them are, they have a din shotah and one of the signs of a shotah is he doesnt value money
Fool. He could’ve stayed high for quite a while with the cash.
