Son dropped/lost his wallet yesterday [View all]

...man found it, just brought it to our house. Soft-spoken older gentleman, couldn't make out the accent.

He lost it in a rough neighborhood, and we just drove there this morning looking for it on the ground.

Good people are out there. The wallet and contents could be replaced, but this act of kindness and integrity was priceless. I'll value it forever.
