TRUMBULL, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut man says he didn't steal the $5,000 in cash he found in a bag, lying in a parking lot in May. But police disagree and have charged him with larceny. It turns out, the money was in a bank bag and belonged to the town of Trumbull. Police say an employee in the Trumbull Tax Collector’s office couldn’t find the bag after arriving at the bank to make a deposit. That's when Trumbull resident Robert Withington picked up the bag, telling Hearst Connecticut Media it felt like he had won the lottery. He says he doesn't think he did anything wrong.

Refinancing can pay off your existing student loans, replacing them with a new loan with new terms and a single payment. Some private refinance lenders allow you to consolidate your loans with your spouse’s or co-sign a loan for him or her. This may benefit you if you wouldn’t qualify for refinancing on your own. But combining or co-signing loans puts you on the hook for the entire debt. (AP Photo/Mark Lennihan, File)
