The person who donated a laptop bag to a thrift shop in Penticton may not have realized there was a bunch of American cash inside.

After staff from the Care Closet discovered the money it was handed it over to the police, according to an RCMP media release.

Police do not say how much cash is involved.

"The cash was likely donated unbeknownst to the donator, and they would likely want it returned,” Penticton RCMP spokesperson Const. James Grandy said in the release.
