Last week, Daniel Verissimo was on his way to mass when he spotted an envelope on the sidewalk. Daniel says he just put it in his pocket and didn’t even look in it until he got home.

When he did open it, he found that it contained $2000 in cash. Verissimo, who is in his 70’s and lives on social security, said he just couldn’t keep what belonged to someone else.

So he contacted police who tracked down the owner.

Good for Daniel! Here is a fellow who probably could have really used that money. But he comes from a day and time when you were taught to do the right thing.
