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 B次元官网网址渏ust fall from the sky.B次元官网网址�
At first some thought they were being B次元官网网址減ranked,B次元官网网址� as their tires rolled right over the $100 bills, said Sgt. Krista Vrolyk of the Chilliwack RCMP, one of the teamB次元官网网址檚 participants.
They couldnB次元官网网址檛 believe it when they spotted the first bill. Then another, and yet another.
B次元官网网址淚t was unreal,B次元官网网址� Vrolyk remembered. B次元官网网址淪o much money. It seemed to just fall from the sky!B次元官网网址�
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 B次元官网网址渄rug money,B次元官网网址� 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 B次元官网网址榖lackbellyB次元官网网址� 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 manB次元官网网址檚 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.
B次元官网网址淐ould it be any more Chilliwack?B次元官网网址� 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 B次元官网网址渢ongueB次元官网网址� part of the trailer, and then drove off.
B次元官网网址淭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.B次元官网网址�
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.
B次元官网网址漃eople often say that Chilliwack is a small town in a big city. It turned out that one of the riders knew the young manB次元官网网址檚 family and he was able to meet up with the team the following day to share his story and personally thank them.B次元官网网址�
B次元官网网址淎lthough feeling B次元官网网址榓 little sheepishB次元官网网址� about his B次元官网网址榙umb move,B次元官网网址� he was also extremely grateful to the team and showed his gratitude with a framed $100 bill donation to the Canadian Cancer SocietyB次元官网网址檚 Cops for Cancer,B次元官网网址� Vrolyk concluded.
