Please Pass This on to Anyone You Know Who Likes to Beat Homeless People to Death and/or Set Them on Fire

A homeless man who earns his soup—which he insists on paying for at the local soup kitchen—by rummaging through Santa Ana, California’s garbage bins for recyclable cans, found a wallet full of money and credit cards a couple of weeks ago and turned it in at a nearby shop where he figured the owner might have worked, the Associated Press Reported. According to the story, the wallet found its way to the owner, who had accidentally thrown away the wallet containing $900 she had saved for a visit to her native Thailand.

The woman reportedly gave the man $100 reward and some words of praise. “He has a very good heart,” she said. “If someone else found it, the money would be gone.”

I read this story at Happynews.com, which is a great place to visit when you feel like reading news but the regular stuff is depressing you. As washingtonpost.com said of the site: “The Happynews glass is always at least half-full, and sometimes it bubbles right over.”
