How would you react if you happened to find stacks of cash totaling up to US$1 million lying on the road? Would you keep it for yourself or instead choose to return it to the rightful owner? For a family in Virginia, there was no question on what was the right thing to do.

Emily Schantz, of Caroline County, was out for a drive on the family’s pickup truck with her husband, David, and their two sons on May 16, 2020, a day after most of the state started to reopen following two months of being shut down due to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus. Suddenly, a car in front of them swerved to avoid hitting something on the road.
