It was practically overflowing with cash, ranging from singles to $100 bills, but the owner seemingly vanished from the store.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Luis Salazar, a construction worker, returned $30,023 he found in a Wawa bathroom. <span class=\"credit\">WPBF<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Instead of keeping the cash for himself, Salazar spent the rest of the week trying to find the person who left it behind. The only \u2014 glaring \u2014 problem was that Salazar had no physical identifiers to go off of, save for a loose recollection of the stranger\u2019s outfit.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old owner, meanwhile, didn\u2019t realize he\u2019d misplaced the potluck until he was an entire county away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was like, \u2018Oh my God, my freaking money\u2019s gone.
