Homeless man returns $1440 he found on street

[Feuer Frei!]

Just goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover and that decent and honest people still exist!

A PENNSYLVANIA homeless man cast aside thoughts of his own economic troubles and returned nearly $US1500 ($1419) that he found on the street, KYW-TV reported today. John Kavanaugh discovered the money after he stepped on an envelope containing $1440 on a street in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and turned it into the local police department.
The envelope had slipped out of a hole in a jacket pocket of attorney Robert Stauffer, who had intended to use the money for a business transaction.
On Thursday, Mr Stauffer presented Mr Kavanaugh with an undisclosed sum of money as a reward for returning the cash.
"Stereotypes are nonsense and you can't judge anybody by how they look or the color of their skin or their religion. You gotta give everybody a chance. If you give them a chance, you would be surprised at what you find out," Mr Stauffer said, according to KYW-TV.


The attorney said he and his law firm will make a donation to the food pantry where Mr Kavanaugh eats. He also said he would check in on Mr Kavanaugh in the future.

Good on you, sir, very decent of you
