    Man finds $125,000 and gives it back; wife so happy she bursts into tears. Anticipating the snarky remarks that may come to pass; I celebrate his honesty; that's what keeps civilization together.

    Good for him.

    He wouldn't be able to get away with keeping it anyway. But who says he would have tried.

    No explanation of how Brinks lost the bag?
    How did the bad "fly" off the truck?

    I think the world needs more Wes Welker's who was over paid by $14,000 after
    Derby win and started handing out $100 bills all over Churchill Downs

    Pacman Jones makes it rain on working moms and all he gets is grief.

    Isn't this where Charles Barkley and Rick Reilly chime in about how cheap Tiger Woods is?

    Good for him, but I hate stories where we make heroes of people who do the right thing.

    Woo hoo, you're not a thief!

    We often see articles about the cabbie who found a valuable musical instrument in the back seat or the hotel maid who found a diamond ring and returned it to the owner.

    It's not yours, you're supposed to give it back.

    Has society fallen so far that we don't expect anyone to be honest?
