MYSTERIOUS bundles of cash left a grocery store stumped several years ago when the owner couldn't be found.

The Good Samaritan grocery store has always taken responsibility to make sure lost items make it back to their owner, but this time, it was left with no answers.
"We have found things in the past. Valuable things and we have always gotten them back to the rightful owner,” Steve Austin said in an interview with local NBC News affiliate WGBA-TV.
“This time, we are just stumped. Just stumped that this is happening to us.”
There were six bundles of cash discovered in total at different times within a month and a half.
They added up to about $400-$500 - two times there was more than $100, and the other times, there was between $15 and $50.
Employees said this is not something that usually happens.
Austin's Grocery Store believed it was different people dropping the money from the camera footage, but they haven’t been able to figure out exactly who has dropped the different bundles.
The motivated grocery store was dedicated to making sure the money gets back into the right hands.
