Jose L. Castilao was driving back to New Jersey on Friday night after working an event at the West Shore Country Club when he couldn't find the folder with his $3,000 payment.

He spent a fitful night in the club's parking lot, hoping he left the money inside. But in the morning, employees couldn't find it, either.

Meanwhile, early Saturday, Camp Hill police Officer Lane P. Prior was getting ready to track speeders on the borough's bypass when he spotted $100 bills blowing around plus a black leather folder with contact information for the Main Event in Manalapan, N.J.

Castilao was on his way home when he got a call from the company's owner, Artie D. Mandato, that the money was found.
