Nice tale. Might be nicer if the store did something.

Perhaps they contributed to the college fund.

Identity of "Mr Bike Man" revealed:
Sid Stevens, the co-founder of Sun Youth, which puts on the annual giveaway, said Morrow’s desire to donate came out of his experiences riding a bike as a child.“When he was growing up, he couldn't afford a bike and he was able to get his parents to get him an old Raleigh bike and he would shine the spokes with toothpicks,” he said.

While the Kansas City Chiefs didn’t make it to the Super Bowl, there was at least one fan in the stadium who was just happy to watch the AFC Championship game.

I made a mean joke to myself, thinking "It shouldn't be too hard to find out who in New Glasgow had $100."
Now that I've wiki'd up on the town, it looks like a great place - moderate climate, and seems to have it all (mostly).
I hope the city worker passes this on to some poor person:
"The town employee and first responder said he's still considering what to do with the money but he hopes to pay it forward to someone else."

I like the person who annually calls a random Walmart at Christmas time, somewhere in the US, and pays off all of the lay aways for the customers.
