It's not every day you find a thousand dollars in cash, especially in a bank machine.

But that's exactly what happened to Annie Rawdah. The London real estate agent said she was at a drive-through ATM on Wonderland Road South on Sunday afternoon when she noticed cash sitting in the machine.

"At first I didn't know how much it was," said Rawdah. "I thought, I'll just go inside and give it back to the bank. But it was closed, it was about 4:30 p.m."

She said she didn't want the next person in line to take it, so she withdrew her own money, kept the receipt for the timestamp, and left with the $1,000 to return it later.

"I knew I would need the time on my receipt to help the bank figure out who it belongs to. This way, they can easily identify the person."
