About 12 years ago, my son, who was then a “Firstie” at West Point, lost his wallet while in New York City with fellow cadets for a weekend. We all assumed that it was gone forever, but within a week, a thick envelope arrived in our mailbox in Texas (the address on his driver’s license) with the wallet — completely intact, cash included — and a note that simply said “I found this in Midtown. From a fellow Leo.” There was no name but I looked up the return address on the envelope and it was the building where Marsh & McLennan is located. There are good, honest people to be found all over this country.
I've met many like him over the years. Yes, mostly rural. But not always. I have dropped my debit card in a grocery store, realized it in the parking lot and yes, the desk had it for my. Whew. Credit card once.
40 years in a big city has numbed me to things like this but I will still try to return lost items but stopping to jump start a vehicle is not my favorite thing as I once encountered a truck with the cables reversed and could have destroyed my battery and maybe an explosion. I only rarely do it now

Very nice.
Hope for our future!
