By Keith Eldridge Watch the story FEDERAL WAY, Wash. -- A local teen is being hailed for his honesty this Thanksgiving holiday for finding -- and returning -- a large sum of money he found.

How large? Try $10,000.

For Moses Baranuic, a tough decision presented itself while he was on duty as a bagger at the Top Foods Store in Federal Way.

He was heading to the men's room on break, and he had no idea what treasure he'd find in there.

"As I walk in right here on the floor, I noticed a bag of money," he said.

But he had no idea yet how much money was in there

So he washed his hands, thought about it, and did the right thing.

"I just grabbed the money, walked outside and gave it to the manager," Baranuic said.

His manager was impressed.

"His name tells it all," said store manager Etray Hudson. "With a name like that you can't go wrong.... Moses."

Moses says there's something biblical about his decision to turn in the cash.

"Because I teach a Sunday school with 10-year-old kids and I always tell them to do the right thing," he said.

  1. Moses,
    I truly admire and am proud of your honesty and commitment to do the right thing. You are absolutely right that while you may not have gotten any money for your good choice, you have gotten SO MUCH MORE - respect, trust, your own peace of mind - and those things are worth FAR MORE than money. You are a wonderful role model to the kids you teach and everyone else in your life. May God continue to bless and guide you!

  2. He really must be a wonderful young man. I was the Administrator of Christian Education for a church and would have loved someone like him teaching the children, not just with the lesson plan but by example as well.
