John Dvorak’s blog contained this story a while back:
With a team of co-workers, she twice searched the Santa Ana civic buildings where she works as a janitor. They pulled bags from dumpsters, rummaged through offices, and checked all the bathrooms, but found nothing.
That same weekend, a homeless man who roams the Santa Ana civic buildings also was searching for something. He made his routine visit to the trash bins nearby to look for aluminum cans. Instead, he found Bogues wallet wrapped in a plastic bag. That Monday, the man, who declined to be identified, gave the money to Sherry Wesley, an Irvine woman who works in one of the buildings.
He came to me with the wad of money and said This probably belongs to someone that you work with, can you return it? Wesley said.
Bogue, a Garden Grove resident, received a call from her boss with the good news. Someone recovered her wallet after she accidentally tossed it in the trash with her lunch.
Grateful, Bogue gave the man a $100 reward, which he split with Wesley.
There are still honest people out there, and not always where you might expect them.
