STUART — A man engaged in some weekend “Dumpster diving” at his complex found a framed picture of a space shuttle with $3,100 squirreled away behind the photo, according to Stuart police.

Sierra Condominium Apartments resident Warren Bendix was “Dumpster diving” about 1:45 p.m. Saturday and turned up the discarded shuttle photo, which “certainly looked salvageable,” a Monday release states. Bendix took the framed photo home, and decided to change the frame.

Bendix took the frame off and found 24 $100 bills and 35 $20 bills behind the photo.

“Maybe he was feeling down in the dumps, and now he isn’t,” said Sgt. Marty Jacobson, police spokesman.

Jacobson said Bendix gave the money to police to hold. Jacobson said the money is not counterfeit.

“If there isn’t a legitimate claim to the property he can claim it,” Jacobson said. “We want to give a legitimate owner an opportunity to claim it if it’s theirs.”

Police will keep the money for 90 days as required by state law and if no one claims it, Bendix can have it, Jacobson said.


lol. Idiot. He had NO responsibility to give it to the frickin police. None.
