俄亥俄州男子在路边捡到14000美元

An Ohio man says he was trying to set a good example for his children when he turned in $14，000 he found on the side of the road.

Jake Bowers found the money on April 8 as he drove his family to a park in Worthington， a Columbus suburb.

Bowers said when he initially saw the bag on the roadside， he thought it might contain someones laptop. Instead， it was filled with $100 bills.

Bowers took the bag to the Worthington police station， and it was returned to its owner.

A police report says the owner had taken the cash to a car dealer but left without buying a vehicle. He told police he must have left it on top of his car and driven off.

鲍尔斯说，他一开始看到路边的包时，以为里面可能有某人的笔记本电脑。但是，里面却满是100美元的纸币。

警方的一则报道称，失主带着现金去一个车商那里，但是他走的时候，没有买车。失主告诉警方，肯定是他把包忘在了车顶上，然后开车走了。
