A True Man and His Integrity

In April of 2006, a city janitor named Kim Bogue discovered her wallet was missing, along with the credit cards and $900 in cash it contained, she was understandably upset.

When a homeless man happened upon a plastic bag in a trash can, he took it out and saw the missing wallet in questions. Of course, our typical expectation of a guy in his position who suddenly finds himself in possession of such instant wealth is that he would use it for

himself. Heck, I know of folks in much more fortunate financial positions who would be tempted to take the money and run.

This man's response, though, was to take the wallet to someone who worked in a nearby building, requesting that she find out who it belonged to. Ms. Bogue, who got in her precarious position because she accidentally threw away her wallet with her lunch, had everything returned intact.

After receiving a $100 reward from the grateful owner of the wallet, the homeless man went his way, preferring not to identify himself.

Honest and humble. You don't find those traits as much nowadays.
