With so many dark things going on these days, it is refreshing to see some light; this time from a teen, 18 yr old Tyler Opdyke who found a wallet full of cash ($1500) as he was walking on a side walk. Guessing that the wallet belonged to the house next door, he went to the house and tried to return it. He rang the door bell several times but the owners would not come out. Realizing that they were watching him from a security camera facing the door, showed the wallet to the security camera, dropped it at the door and backed away.
A woman, Mellisa Vang, watching from the security camera inside, seeing the stranger and not knowing what he was up to did not open the door… as any prudent person would not.
“I usually don’t open doors to strangers,” she said.
But when the boy left, she came out saw what it was: her husband’s wallet! The boy had found it and was trying to return it, she felt deeply grateful when she realized the wallet was filled with cash and her husband’s credit cards.
Luckily the boy returned to check if the wallet was still there and when she and her daughter saw him again through the camera, they rushed downstairs, flung the door open and embraced him.
The woman posted his honest act on her Facebook page and it has since gone viral.
This is a great story, a great example for all the teens out there!
