Steele told WBTW-TV he called police right after discovering the money.
“It was a surreal moment,” he said. “That will probably never happen again in my lifetime, finding that much money.”
Steele said it was a teachable moment for his son.
“The moral lesson for him to do what’s right and that will be the best path and he feels great about what we did,” he explained.
The boy told WBTW-TV that he never thought about keeping the money.
