Josh Pache was cycling past Fox’s Pantry in Tugun when he spotted a thick bundle of cash lying on the pavement.
Without hesitation, the teenager walked into the store and handed the money to the cashier, unaware that his simple act of integrity would soon change his life.
The money had fallen from the pocket of Daniel McKellar, a tradesman who runs a demolition company.
McKellar had stopped at the gas station with his wife to buy a coffee after dropping off scrap metal for recycling.
“I thought once I lost it, that was it,” McKellar told news.com.au. “I definitely had no expectation to get it back.”
With only CCTV footage to identify his Good Samaritan, McKellar shared the story on Instagram, asking for help to find the teen.
Josh’s act of integrity has inspired thousands online, with commenters praising his honesty and calling him “a role model for all young Australians.” »
