Jazdzewski, 52, an employee of Wausau Supply, was driving out of town for business around 4 a.m. Jan. 28 when he spotted something on the road near the Rothschild Village Hall.
"I knew it was a money bag, and I picked it up. But there was no doubt in my mind that this thing was going back to (the village)," said Jazdzewski, of Kronenwetter.
What was inside the locked bag was more than $850,000 in cash and checks, according to city officials.
A police officer had set the bag on the trunk of a squad car and then was called to an emergency, Jazdzewski said. The bag apparently slid off the back of the car when the officer pulled away.
Rothschild Police Chief Bill Schremp declined to discuss the contents of the bag, which was lost between the Village Hall and River Valley State Bank, but he said he was grateful.
"Someone that found the bag was very honest. We are planning on doing something for him," Schremp said.

Wow.
I wonder what they are planning on doing with the cop that lost the bag though?

They'll probably give him a gift certificate to Subway and a pat on the back

I would have taken it to Vegas betting with it, and converting my chips back in for cash. Hell, you wouldn't even need to bet with it... just get chips, walk around for a while, then cash the chips back in. Do this in 10-20 casinos and you would have freshly laundered monies!

He must've called to mind that "Saved By the Bell" episode where they found that shoebox fulla money in the mall and then got chased around by the two shady guys while getting tickets to the U2 concert... ahhh memories...

Makes you wonder though. If you did take the cash, what do you think your life would be like knowing you had a stash of cash but also had someone out there looking for the cash...and you.

I don't think you could steal the cash without ending up in a Hollywood B movie about finding yourself, because the money would have some kind of curse on it, and you'd have to go give it back with cameras rolling.
