Wow! You did the right thing young man. WELL DONE! Sadly - too many think the way your friends thought. You should be very proud of yourself. Thank you for being a fine upstanding young man. (No it wasn't my money.) Just want to give praise where its well deserved.

In my 50+ years, I've lost my wallet or purse several times - and I've always had it returned to me, with all the cash, etc. intact. There are a great deal of good, upstanding people in the world and we don't hear enough about them. Thanks for writing about Jesse - we need to hear more about the good, honest people in our communities and world. I'm glad Jesse was given a reward - he deserves it. We need to all encourage each other to be the best people we can be.

Kudos to Jesse for doing the right thing? But, I am curious, how did so much money end up in the garbage in the first place?

Pretty special that this young man considered his options and took it upon himself to do the right thing. Thank you for setting such a fine example for your peers and I hope you make the front page of the newspaper!! Barbara Gosda

The Oculator learned that the owner had just been paid in cash at his place of work and had crossed the street to the Cumberland Farms for a snack. He mistakenly tossed his money in with the trash he had in his hand.
