Cash Appeared on Their Streets for Years. Now, Villagers Know Why. - The New York Times
The police say two people left £26,000 on the streets of Blackhall Colliery “to give something back” to the community.
LONDON — For nearly six years, money seemed to be falling from the sky onto the streets of a village in northeastern England.
Residents of the village, Blackhall Colliery, regularly found neat bundles of 20-pound notes, then promptly handed the money to the police. The bundles often amounted to 2,000 pounds, or about $2,600.

The police have now found that the money was left by 2 persons who 'wanted to give something back to the village.'
I'm surprised they didn't get fined for littering.
