Homeless Man who Found $42,000 and Turned It In To Police Rewarded

Not many people would have the willpower to hand over any amount of money they find often because its easier to think how can we use this money to help our with our problems. It is even harder for someone who is in a position who could have really needed it like this homeless man. He knew it wasn't his and knew that it belonged to someone else and then he shacked off all desire to keep the money  to give it to police. This is a man with great integrity.

    

A homeless man who found a backpack containing tens of thousands of dollars in cash and traveler's checks and turned it in to police in Boston said even if he were desperate he wouldn't have kept ‘even a penny.’

Glen James was honored by Boston PoliceCommissioner Edward Davis on Monday. He was given a special citation and thanked for an ‘extraordinary show of character and honesty.’

James said in a handwritten statement he gave out at a news conference that he was glad to make sure the bagand its contents were returned to the owner.
