When a purse or wallet is lost, there are very slim chances of its recovery. However, thanks to good samaritans, some of them are returned to their rightful owners. A man from Bengaluru took to X to share how a stranger went out of his way to return his wallet.

“Dropped my wallet yesterday evening on the busy Nagenahalli main road. I didn’t realise I had dropped it until someone called today evening saying he had found my wallet. It had my DL, cards and 2k cash,” wrote the man while sharing a picture of the kind stranger on X.
He added, “We met at a landmark on Nagenahalli main road. He handed over the wallet and asked me to check if the money and cards were intact. I profusely thanked him for the gesture and asked him how he found my contact number. He said he was trying to find my contact since yesterday and finally going through the wallet he found a bill which had my number on it.”
When the man asked the stranger why he returned his wallet, he said, “Money we earn doesn’t stay with us, what is the use of someone else’s money.”
