Stories of Kindness from Around the World

The Lost Wallet


--by benkorri003, posted Dec 5, 2016
I was driving after school on Monday from Dublin to Drogheda and on my way home, I saw a wallet on top of a white car just as he turned into the main road. The wallet fell from the car and I sounded the horn twice but he didn’t hear. So, I checked the wallet to see if I could get any phone number to call.  I found and called two numbers but I was told they were wrong number.

I later found a driving license and used the address to find his estate in Termonfeckin, which is a 15 minute drive away from Drogheda. When I got to his house, I saw his wife and the first thing she asked was if I had found a wallet. I started smiling and I said yes. The lady was really happy and called her husband. He ran to us at the gate and welcomed me to their house. After giving the wallet to him, he checked to see if everything was inside. They offered me 20 euros for gas but I refused it.
