Integrity.

Glen James found a backpack on Saturday containing $2,400 in cash and a WHOPPING $39,500 in AmEx Travelers Cheques

The Good Samaritan - who is homeless - handed the pack over to Boston police

Good for him! It's good to see there are honest people out there.

Can anyone confirm that the owner of found money didn't give him any reward?

This happened in my "back yard" and has gotten lots of media attention here. There's been no mention of a reward from the owner in any of the several reports I've read or heard on the radio. It seems that several members of the public have chosen to step in and raise some funds to say "thank you" to a good man who could have easily disappeared with the money. The ONLY thing that prevented him from doing so was his personal integrity. That was worth more to the homeless man than the contents of the backpack he found.

Very true!

It is always good to read about true integrity in the world. Thanks for posting.

That would be a true test of a person's character wouldn't it. I wonder how many can say they would have done the same thing. Good post.

Kudo's to him.......

Any mention of the other $958k?!

Just kidding. It is good to know that there are good people.

Homeless Man Who Returned $42K Gets Big Pay Off

[shiftyer1]

Within the last year or so a homeless man around here also found a large amount of gold coins upwards of 30000 worth. He also turned it in and after a period of time and a short jail stay for unrelated offense he was given a ride with his new fortune out of town for his safety.
