A plumber who discovered stacks of cash and checks inside a wall at celebrity televangelist Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church last month has been awarded $20,000 by Crime Stoppers of Houston.

The envelopes were discovered behind a loose toilet by the plumber while he was doing repairs at the Houston church on Nov. 10 — seven years after the church reported $600,000 in cash and checks stolen from a safe.

Following news of the discovery behind the church wall, Crime Stoppers CEO Rania Mankarious asked the Crime Stoppers Executive Committee if the organization could gift $20,000 to the “Good Samaritan” who turned in the money and received approval, the statement said. "Crime Stoppers of Houston is a public safety organization that thrives on the public safety of all communities. We believe that it takes all of us, working together, to keep Houston safe and thriving," she added.,"This money is going to help tremendously."

Then you see Christina my new fiance and she lives there and we get kicked out.. but before we got helped because she knew taxes were coming..

Why did Lori fire me and I had to ride a bike and report the paperwork that she was trying to charge me for harassment and spying and stalking online when she's been doing that b******* to me and I had to talk with an officer about the paperwork she sent

Then you're telling me I had so much time to work for the same type of people everywhere and then talk about it online and I really didn't even get fired for that.

Then there's 20,000 f****** religions and I hear from a f****** cloud then I have to tell everybody what I heard and I have memory of my whole background as a kid and can take you places that I went to and been to and the conversations that I had and f****** draw the pictures

So y'all are telling me Aaron never got hit in the head from a doorknob....

Now arrest the Osteens!

$20g...man half of what I'd find, it be stuff away somewhere else if that's the case!! 20g my $$. 🤣🤣

They said they weren't gonna pay him b/c it didn't lead to an arrest! This guy was just fixing a toilet doing his job! Ridiculous. He probably threatened to sue them so they settled with him. Lame. So now there's an investigation into Osteen stealing $ from his own church, right?

Maybe he can find Hoffa?

Close New York state's Civil War prisons.

So if crime stoppers is giving this guy cash, does that mean Osteen has committed a crime?

Righteous gemstones.

The Onion? *Double checks* The Onion? *Triple Checks* The Onion

I say give him all of it and make the church pay the taxes. For once.

Dude could have retired rich and would never have to plum again but now he can’t even buy a used Kia after taxes. Yet Joel can fuel his private jet for a few months while the dude is cleaning shit backed up in someone’s bathtub. Congratulations you played yourself.

It’s me y’all, Mario!

My man should have quietly taken that $600k and left it at that.

Sounds like hush money payment now.

Kudos to the plumber! We need more honest people in the world!

This is wonderful to news! Now it’s time to investigate and prosecute Joel Osteen’s church. 🧐

Ofcourse crooked Joel Olsteen wouldn't give him 1 cent and Instead would say God wanted the Plummer to find the stack of cash

Honesty pays....Sometimes 🙏👍❤️

Joel Osteen the Pablo Escobar of Christianity

How is this not being investigated when they collected insurance money

That means a crime was committed. Gee, I wonder who committed it?

No Crime Stoppers are operating

'Theft' & Osteen's church. Riiiiiiight

Good he can split it with Pastor Osteen.

Cops inventory and hand it back with a very suspicious set of circumstances on the books, but civil forfeiture some poor sap’s life savings and make them prove they deserve their own fkn money.
