This picture, posted recently on Reddit.com, was photographed in New York City where someone was thrilled to have their wallet returned and desperately wanted to thank the human who was responsible.
After reposting the photo on Facebook, it sparked dozens of people chiming in with stories of their own about kind strangers returning wallets, purses and iphones left behind in every situation.
This might be a silent epidemic -- a contagion of good news to which no one gives enough attention. Little drops of holy water that when collected in one place create an ocean of goodliness.
Check out the stream of stories below that restored our faith in humanity over the last 15 hours on the GNN Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151877673769265&set=a.394296789264.158702.35392719264&type=1&theater)
Katie Ackers-Schrock- I have lost my wallet twice in my life: once on an airplane and once in a NYC can. Both times it was mailed back to me anonymously with money and everything still inside...go humans indeed!
Geri Weis-Corbley- I just found a wallet today at our mailbox. I looked for an address (a couple blocks away) and dropped it off.

Jennifer Rigdon- In graduate school I twice (!) lost my purse. Both times it was turned in by a fellow student. Likes · 3 · 15 hours ago
Marlo Montabon- I left mine outside on the bench at Jones. They were doing some painting at the time, and one of the painters turned it in to security. A Jones associate, yeah, but even the painters! I was a little surprised and a lot delighted!

Rhonda Aronwald- Someone did this for me too, once. They even left the cash in it.

Angie Ray Choate- I left my purse in the gift shop at a park. Someone turned it in and they looked me up using the info on my license and called me. I went and got it the next day, nothing was missing. Go humans!

Rebecca Kelly- My husband once left his wallet on top of the car and drove off. A lovely guy who saw it lying in the middle of the road (quite a long way from our house), stopped, picked it up and drove it over to our house to return it with everything inside. He had a bit of a chuckled when he heard how it got there!Likes · 3 · 13 hours ago
Jennifer Landry- 8 years ago I dropped my wallet in the Walmart parking lot. And someone turned it in to customer service. I didn't even realize I lost it till they called my name on the intercom.

I just wanted to post this happy news to remind folks what an absolutely wonderful and beautiful world we exist on.
Sometimes it is wise to pull ones head out of the sewer once in a while and notice that there are other wondrous things about where we are. :hippie:
