I lost a wallet once with almost 2500 on cash. Guy picked it up and called me on the spot. Waited 30 mins for me to get there and pick it up with his 4 year old. Gave him $300 "finders fee" and told him to buy his kid something nice. At first he refused reward but after I insisted he almost started crying as he had a massive run of bad luck and this money helped him Immensly.

I asked him why he didn't just take the cash out of wallet as it was obviously there. Made it clear it was never his and his parents had raised him Not to take stuff that wasn't his and he was going to raise his kid the same way.

so however small there is still hope for people on this day and age.
