DELAWARE, Ohio — When Lauren Arledge found $200 in the street, the 11-year-old didn't think to keep it.

Fearing someone had been robbed, she went to her mother's office and told her to call police. Then she went back out to look for more bills.

The girl, with the help of a mail carrier and a co-worker of her mother's, spent a half-hour gathering another $1,150 over a two-block area.

A grateful man who said he dropped his wallet and lost $1,450 gave the girl a $50 reward.

Lauren's mother, Christine Arledge, said she's not surprised her daughter wanted to call police instead of trying to keep the money.

"I'm very proud, but I'm not surprised," she said. "If you knew Lauren, you would just know."
