A Georgia man who pocketed $30 someone dropped on the floor inside a Walmart returned the cash after police publicly sought help identifying him, ending a case that drew ridicule from social media users who questioned why authorities were chasing a few lost bills.

The Albany Police Department in Georgia posted a photo of the man and asked the public to help identify him after another shopper dropped the cash at a local Walmart.

Police said the man picked up the $30 but did not turn it in to store employees.
