Can't understand why the old dear would want to withdraw such a large some out of the bank then use public transport but she has been very lucky thanks to one mans honesty

"Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure that there is one less scoundrel in the world."
-Thomas Carlyle

Sometimes honesty and honor are all we have. Virtue may be its own reward, but I'm glad this man at least got some recognition. He's a shining example of what we all should be.

It would be nice to know if he got any reward or even civic recognition at a later date.
