Cash Left on MBTA Bus Returned to Watertown Man
An envelope with more than $1,000 in cash was left on a 73 bus heading toward Waverley Square.
MBTA officials returned an envelope containing more than $1,000 to a Watertown resident who had left it on a bus on Monday.
A passenger riding the 73 bus from Harvard Square discovered that someone had left an envelope with $1,100 inside on the bus at around 5 p.m. The money was given to the bus driver, who gave it to the supervisor in Waverley Square in Belmont, according to a report on the Fox 25 News' Website.
Bus driver Kevin White did not look inside the envelope or have any temptation to grab any of the money himself, according to a story on Boston.com.

“I look at it this way: Somebody needed it for some reason,” White told the Boston.com. “It could be their paycheck or their rent money. It’s not my money to decide that.”
The MBTA worked with Cambridge Savings Bank to find out to whom the money belonged. The money was tracked to a Watertown man, according to Fox 25. The money was returned on Tuesday, and the name of the owner was not released by the MBTA, according to the report.
