  Mr Kiser also got out of his car.He had grabbed a plastic bag of money, put the bag in his car, and drove away.

  Later Mr Kiser counted the money.He had $57,000.For the next two hours Mr Kiser thought about the money.He dreamed about spending it.He needed a new furnace(火炉)for his house.He wanted to take a vacation in Florida.But he decided to return the money.He drove to the police station and gave the police the $57,000.

  The armored truck company offered 10 percent reward(酬金),so Mr Kiser got a reward of $5,700.A few more people returned money and got rewards, but over one million dollars was still missing.

  Then a man telephoned the armored truck company and said,“I was driving along the highway when I saw the money.People were running everywhere.I had a camera in my car and I took some pictures.Would you like the pictures?”

  “Yes!”answered the company.The company gave the pictures to the police.The police looked closely at the pictures.They looked at the cars, the license plates, and the people's faces.They tried to find the people who had taken the money, but they didn't have much luck.
