Employees at the Goodwill in Fort Worth, Texas, say a man came into the chain\u2019s location in Hurst in early February to report that his wife had mistakenly donated an old jacket that had an envelope in the pocket containing $5,000 in cash. Store manager Rhonda Davis says she told him they get about 50 to 200 donations per day, so they needed to go and sort bag-per-bag. Davis says workers searched through donations for several days without success, and finally employee Maqayla DeLaPena found the envelope three weeks after the search started. The cash was returned to the customer and DeLaPena was rewarded with a bonus and the Goodwill Medal of Integrity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u27a2 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Missouri man had quite the run in with a tom turkey during the bird&#8217;s\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fox2now.com\/news\/missouri\/local-idiot-finds-himself-being-chased-indoors-by-protective-turkey\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">mating season<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0 Evan Travers was filling a bird feeder near a flock of turkeys when he began being chased down by the aggressive tom.\u00a0 Just a heads up&#8230; apparently it&#8217;s goose and turkey mating season&#8230; just stay away from them right now.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u27a2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> A UK company is catching some heat online for selling glass bottles filled with the \u201cfreshest coastal air\u201d for up to US $105 each.
