The more I hear about Bob Powers, the more I admire him.
If the name is familiar, it’s because he’s been in the news recently.
The 74-year-old retired Marine (I know, there is no such thing as an ex-Marine), is the guy who put $23,000 in cash in a bag, then placed it on the roof of his car while he put some things inside, then promptly drove off.
He was headed to Annapolis to buy more tickets to last weekend’s Army-Navy game.
Along the way it dawned on him what he had done. He immediately called his son, who retraced his steps. They found the Fed Ex mailer, they found the purple velvet Crown Royal bag in which he placed the wad of bills. What they did not find was any trace of the $23,000 in cash.
Police say no one has come forward.
So how does the Chester Heights man react. He has a holiday greeting for whoever found the money: Merry Christmas.
He’s a better man than I am.
