A Michigan man found more than loose change when he searched his secondhand couch’s cushions.

Howard Kirby had purchased a sofa and ottoman from a Habitat for Humanity ReStore location in central Michigan for $70, but noticed one of the sofa cushions was uncomfortable.

After three weeks he and his daughter-in-law investigated and found a box inside the cushion with a shocking amount of cash: $43,170.

“[My daughter-in-law] pulls it out and she says, ‘Dad, money,'” Kirby told the ABC local affiliate.

For a hot second Kirby was tempted to keep the cash, but ultimately decided against it.

“What would Jesus do? Jesus would give it back to the rightful owner,” Kirby said.

So Kirby contacted the thrift store which alerted the couch’s previous owners, who collected the cash that had been stashed by their late grandfather.

“I know how it is to lose something and never get it back,” Kirby said after returning the money.

“I’ve heard about it happening before and I always thought, ‘What would I do if I found that money?’ Now I know,” he said. “Makes me feel good. I believe I’m doing the right thing.”
