(NEW YORK) — An 8-year-old upstate New York boy is being applauded after finding a crime victim’s cash-filled wallet in New York City and returning it to the man.
WCBS-TV reports Frankie Burns found a wallet with $1,700 inside on Saturday when he was preparing for a Gaelic football game in the Bronx. The fourth-grader from Washingtonville in Orange County didn’t hesitate to bring the wallet to his father.
After using an identification card inside the wallet, the family was able to find its owner. They say the man had recently been released from the hospital after a mugging. The victim had dropped his wallet after the attack and needed the cash for his rent.
Burns says the man gave him $100 for the act of kindness. The boy he’s going to buy a pair of soccer cleats with the reward.

One time I found a lady's billfold in a mall parking lot. It contained something like $80, all of her cards, and her drivers license. I looked her up, called her, and took it to her. When she opened the door I saw this semi-elderly lady. You could see a really nasty looking scar down her chest, which I'm guessing she got from open-heart surgery. She was so grateful and wanted my address. The next day she brought me a beautiful necklace. <3

Shouldn't he have returned it to the mugging culprit? He's the one that lost it.
