Figured I'd post this, since it's nice to see some people still have a conscience...even when their life is as rough as this guys.

Owners son seems kinda cheap to me, but thats besides the point //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

If I had $100 to spare I'd gladly send it.

Hope the job off works out for him as well.

Good karma ftmfw for sure //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif.

Kinda sad to see honest caring folks like him with nothing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

$100 after returning $21g. hahahahaha, thats pretty dirty. But other people are more generous and didnt lose anything. Nice to hear though.

I wonder where he turned it in...... 100 bucks...thats horrible man. Especially for that kind of integrity from a homeless guy....granted 100 bucks is a lot to him...they should have given him AT LEAST 1K

I think they should have given him more than 100. Thats kind of a slap in the face. But to him, anything is better that nothing. And hes getting gifts from other people as well.

the article says he turned it in to a homeless shelter who then tracked down the owners.

at least 5....21k down the drain is a lot worse than "loosing" 5k. i would have given him a lot more than 100 bucks, but then again, money is the root of all evil huh

im sure the only reason he turned it in...besides just being a great guy was expecting enough money in return to get him back on his feet at least.

Why turn it in expecting reward when it wont be as much as if you just kept it in the first place. I think he was just being nice and honest.

Well, atleast he has gotten alot from other people since the owner was so cheap. If I lost 21K and a homeless dude found it, and was nice enough to return it, even tho he really needed it, I would give him atleast half of it if not all of it.

People are stingy though, the guy deserves liek $5k, at least OTHER people are generous enough to reward him.

Out of these two responses Im going to go with squeak.

But I also know, that at least subliminally (sp?) he was thinking he was going to get a reward.

x2, if the guy turned it in for a reward....I don't think he would have turned it in period //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Dude was a cheap *** for sure...$100 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif giving the dude a whole .5% of it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif.
