RANDOLPH, N.J. (WPIX)—
UPS deliveryman John Piontowski came across something that was far from the ordinary Wednesday - a bag containing $5,200 sitting in the middle of a New Jersey street

In addition to the money, Piontowski also found a Bank of America deposit slip. Not thinking much of it, the UPS worker drove to the nearby bank and dropped it off.

The bag apparently found its way onto the street when Don Knaus, owner of Stuyvesant Liquors in Jersey City, misplaced it while he busy running errands with his wife that morning.

The couple were overjoyed to receive a call from the bank saying that someone had delivered the cash, and Piontkowski reportedly says the couple gave him a generous reward.

He said that he never considered keeping the money.
