A couple who found more than $61,000 cash in the carpark at Woolworths Ashgrove have no regrets about their decision to hand the money in to police.

Paul and Helen Butler, of Kelvin Grove, made a trip to the supermarket on November 27 to pick up some dinner only to find themselves with a shopping bag full of cash.

''I went to put our trolley in the bay and noticed the trolley in front of me had a blue recycle shopping bag hanging from it, preventing me from pushing the trolleys together,'' Mr Butler said.

''When I looked in the bag there were all these paper sandwich bags full of money. It turned out each bag contained a day's taking from a business.

''I just thought 'whoever owns this must be having kittens'.''

After taking the money to the Stafford Police Station, Mr and Mrs Butler learned a local business owner had reported losing the cash.

''It never crossed my mind to keep it. It comes down to your morals and values you were brought up with. When you know it's not yours, you know someone is going through a world of pain,'' he said.

The relieved business owner, who asked to remain anonymous, gave the Butlers $500 as reward.
