Home demolition reveals stash of cash and generous heart
One Massachusetts dentist got $2,500 in 50s and big ones as a demolition crew he hired tore down the walls of a house he owns. As a worker gutted a portion of the home’s walls, money suddenly burst from it like feathers, Boston’s WHDH reports.
“I was looking out the window in between patients and the fellow was pulling the wall apart and the next thing I knew I saw a flutter of money,” said Dr. Fred Ravens, who had hired the workers to demolish the Reading, Mass., house so that he could expand his office next door.
After helping his workers grab the rest of the money from between the wall’s plaster and framing, Ravens immediately gave some of the cash to them.
But the dentist’s unselfish response to the situation didn’t end there: He quickly reached out to the former homeowners, whom he called “the rightful owners” of the cash.
The owners who had left the cash behind were shocked to hear from Ravens, and said his generosity is “a rare quality.”
