An elderly man pushed a trolley around a Walmart in Albany, Georgia, bent down for $30 (£23) another shopper had dropped, and carried on with his day. Within a week, his face was on a police appeal. Thousands of strangers were arguing about whether he belonged in front of a judge.
He has since given the money back. On 22 August, the Albany Police Department said the person who lost the cash no longer wanted to pursue it. The force closed the file with five words: 'No charges will be filed.'
