PROVO, Utah (UPI) -- A Provo, Utah, woman said she has recovered
nearly $200,000 in checks that she threw out with the trash.
The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said she flagged down the
driver of the garbage truck as soon as she noticed the checks, which
were from the company she works for, had gone missing, KTVX-TV, Salt
Lake City, reported.
Brad Rollins, waste management supervisor for Provo, said a bay was
cleared at the county garbage transfer station to allow the woman and
a friend to sift through the load of trash to find the specific white
kitchen bag they were looking for.
Rollins said the two women said a prayer and one of the women almost
immediately picked up a bag that turned out to contain the missing
documents.
"The checks were in great shape. They weren't wrinkled, they were
still flat, the deposit slip was still in there. She could've taken it
right to the bank and they wouldn't even have known where it had been,
and it had been on a trip," Rollins said.
