A North Texas barber found a small fortune resting right on top of a bank ATM last month — and returned every single cent, according to authorities.

The good Samaritan, who did not identify himself to CBS, went to the bank machine with a 42-year-old woman when the pair spotted bags filled with $128,510 in cash and a smaller bag packed with 19 checks, police said.

After contacting 911, the do-gooder — a 37-year-old from the mid-sized city in Denton County — noticed one of the bags bore a Chick-fil-A label and tried to hand the money over to the fast-food restaurant, but the manager denied ownership.

Cops confirmed the cash belonged to Bank of America and was being processed by its cash management vendor, Brinks.

A Brinks technician had serviced the ATM and was tasked with transporting the money, but accidentally left the bags sitting on top of the machine, according to police and CBS.
