DUNWOODY, Ga. — A business owner says his faith in mankind has been restored after he lost a bag filled with cash, and someone returned it.
The woman who found the money bag said she did what she would want someone to do for her.
“It was gone forever,” Henry Ngo, the owner of Polished Luxury Nail Salon told Channel 2’s Tom Jones about the lost money bag.
He said he knows times are tough and the person who found it might feel the need to keep it.
“Right now, it’s hard times and everyone could use the money to do something else. Buy food. Make a power payment. House payment,” Ngo said.
Ngo had just opened his salon business in the last few months. He and his wife realized the money was missing when they got home that night. They looked everywhere.
“Next day she went back to the nail salon, and she say she couldn’t find the bag of money,” Ngo said.
Fortunately, someone with a kind heart found it.
“I would have felt so guilty in even trying to keep it,” Serwa Collins said.

Collins had stopped at a restaurant next to the salon that day to pick up dinner.
“The money was pretty much right here on the ground,” Collins said, pointing to the parking lot.
She grabbed the bag and called the restaurant and a package store nearby, but no one claimed it.
The salon was closed so she didn’t call it. She left her number at the other two businesses and even posted about it on Facebook.
The next day, Ngo went by the package store.
“The worker in there said there’s a lady called and said she found the bag,” Ngo said.
He called Collins and described the bag and told her how much money was inside. He also showed her surveillance video of his wife putting the money inside.
Collins then happily returned his money. Jones was there when the two reunited.
“God bless you. You so nice,” Ngo told Collins.
“God is amazing,” Collins replied.
“You so nice. You a nice person,” Ngo said.
Collins owns Undo Braids and Extensions Takedown Studio in Sandy Springs. She just started her business and knows how every dollar counts.
“I knew that I had to do the right thing because I would want someone to do it for me,” Collins said.
