The Cops for Cancer riders were zooming down a country road in Chilliwack as part the Tour de Valley team when they spotted $100 bills that seemed to 香蕉视频直播渏ust fall from the sky.香蕉视频直播

At first some thought they were being 香蕉视频直播減ranked,香蕉视频直播 as their tires rolled right over the $100 bills, said Sgt. Krista Vrolyk of the Chilliwack RCMP, one of the team香蕉视频直播檚 participants.

They couldn香蕉视频直播檛 believe it when they spotted the first bill. Then another, and yet another.

香蕉视频直播淚t was unreal,香蕉视频直播 Vrolyk remembered. 香蕉视频直播淪o much money. It seemed to just fall from the sky!香蕉视频直播

It happened on Day Three of their Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley, and the team stopped to pick up the loose cash in order to hand it over to police for safekeeping.

Some joked it might be 香蕉视频直播渄rug money,香蕉视频直播 blowing in the wind, the RCMP spokesperson said, but it turned out a Chilliwack man had just lost an envelope full of cash that he withdrew to purchase a flock of 香蕉视频直播榖lackbelly香蕉视频直播 sheep.

The team had just wrapped up their fundraising ride in Chilliwack and were heading to Abbotsford, raising money for the the Canadian Cancer Society and pediatric cancer research. The members pulled over and ended up recovering 23 of the $100 bills and one $50 bill, for a total of $2,350 of the man香蕉视频直播檚 missing $2,700 for his sheep.

The Cops for Cancer team contacted Chilliwack RCMP to let them know that they had found the cash and would be turning it in.

香蕉视频直播淐ould it be any more Chilliwack?香蕉视频直播 Vrolyk said about the bizarre turn of events.

The young man and his father had been at a nearby farm picking up a trailer, which they hooked up to their truck. The would-be sheep farmer had placed the envelope full of cash on the 香蕉视频直播渢ongue香蕉视频直播 part of the trailer, and then drove off.

香蕉视频直播淭hey were halfway to Abbotsford when they realized what had happened and immediately turned around, hoping that by some act of faith the money would still be there.香蕉视频直播

They returned to the scene, and spotted one measly $50 bill.

They then took to social media and called it into the RCMP on the off chance that a Good Samaritan had found the money.

The call came within the hour.

香蕉视频直播漃eople often say that Chilliwack is a small town in a big city. It turned out that one of the riders knew the young man香蕉视频直播檚 family and he was able to meet up with the team the following day to share his story and personally thank them.香蕉视频直播

香蕉视频直播淎lthough feeling 香蕉视频直播榓 little sheepish香蕉视频直播 about his 香蕉视频直播榙umb move,香蕉视频直播 he was also extremely grateful to the team and showed his gratitude with a framed $100 bill donation to the Canadian Cancer Society香蕉视频直播檚 Cops for Cancer,香蕉视频直播 Vrolyk concluded.
