Someone left $30,000 cash on a NYC train... and got it back

A few years ago I found a $100 bill on the floor, which I was pretty sure was of more value to its owner than to me (among other considerations, like, what was the right thing to do). How to return? I put up a sign asking people who’d lost an important piece of paper to call me. Someone did a few hours later, asking “was the important piece of paper a $100 bill?” and maybe I just rewarded them for their lucky guess first try.
