For some folks, $100 isn't a lot of money, but for Stacy Conroy it is. Conroy and her husband have a relatively new business and a toddler, so when she dropped the hundred dollar bill at The Outpost on Capitol Drive, she was devastated.

"To me, man, $100 is a lot of living for the three of us," says the 33-year-old.

Conroy stopped at The Outpost to buy milk for her son Aidan and to break the hundred in order to pay a man she hired to mow her lawn. She pulled into the parking lot with the hundred in her hand because she didn't have any pockets, but between holding her keys, her 21-month-old son and the money, the bill somehow slipped out of her hand.

Conroy, however, didn't notice until she was inside the store.

"As soon as I realized the money wasn't in my hand I grabbed a really sweet girl from the Health and Wellness section and I told her what happened. She had a really positive attitude from the beginning," says Conroy.

Conroy started retracing her steps, glancing at every shopper and wondering if they had picked up her missing bill.

"I was in a complete panic state. I thought 'How am I going to cope with this?' and 'How is Bill (her husband) going to feel?'" she says.

Conroy says the employee -- whose name she never got -- went out into the parking lot to look, but at this point Conroy was sure she had lost the money and said to herself, "Someone really scored big."

The clerk, however, felt differently.

"It isn't over yet. Someone may still turn it in," she said.

After scouring the parking lot and coming up empty handed, the two women walked into the store to ask at the customer service desk if anyone had turned in the cash. Suddenly, a woman also carrying a baby walked towards Conroy.

"Are you looking for the lost money?" she asked. Conroy said yes, and the woman said she overheard that someone turned it in at the desk.

Before she knew it, the clerk behind the desk handed her the bill that she had dropped.

"I was in total shock," says Conroy. "I really don't think it would have happened at another store. It says a lot about the people that shop at The Outpost."

Conroy asked the clerk for a description of the person who had turned in the money, but the woman behind the desk didn't recall any details except that it had been a female. The clerk who helped Conroy search the parking lot mentioned something about karma, and that whoever turned in the money didn't need a formal thank you because they were rewarded with the personal satisfaction they had done the right thing.

"It was synergistic," says Conroy. "All of these people came together."
