Outside Reading #1

Today, I read an article about a woman named Amanda Reece who found $182,000 in her Cleveland, Ohio home. Her contractor, Bob Kitts, was remodeling her bathroom and found the cash when he blew through a wall. The money was from the 1920's depression era and had been in her house since. The problem Reece faced was splitting the money, especially after she took it to court and the descendants of the original homeowners found out and got their cut. I think it's horrible for her because she could have gotten all $182,000, but her friend and her couldn't figure out how to split it evenly. This is a perfect example of how our country has changed and how courteous ways have vanished in people's minds.
