Michigan man returns $43,170 found in footstool purchased from resale store

A US-based man Howard Kirby found $43,170 inside a footstool that he purchased along with other furniture for $70 after Christmas. According to reports, Kirby's daughter-in-law found the money after she opened the cushion of the stool. The huge sum of money was found inside a footstool that was given to a resale shop located in Owosso Township, Michigan. The 54-year-old man said that after finding the money he went on to return it to the former owners because it was the correct and moral thing to do, adding that the money will help its rightful owners.

According to reports, the footstool was part of a living room set that was given to a Habitat for Humanity outlet by Kim Fauth Newberry and her husband. The donated furniture belonged to Kim's grandfather Phillip Fauth. Kim said that her grandfather was a man who paid for everything in the form of cash, adding that the $43,170 was separated with clips alongside handwritten notes.
