The internet is amazing.
-A woman in my city accidentally left her bag in a restaurant. There was $4k in cash rent money inside.
-Another guest found the bag and ran away with it.
-The restaurant had cameras so she posted their face all over social media.
-Less than 24 hours later the thief was identified. The police are currently closing in on him.

I'll always remember when I was getting gas, and I found a purse on top of the pump. I checked the ID, drove 60 minutes out of my way to return the purse. They opened the door, took the purse, and slammed the door in my face and didn't even say thank you. Nice work people! I'll still do the right thing next time, but maybe I'll mail it instead.
I had the same thought, expecting it was a story about honesty.
