1. Dairy Queen.
A manager of a Dairy Queen store in the USA saw a blind customer drop a $20 note. A 50-60 year old woman reached down and picked it up, however, instead of giving it back to the blind man, placed it in her purse as he hadn't realised that he'd dropped it. The manager asked the lady to give it back or please leave the store. She claimed that she had dropped it and left. The manager then went over to the blind man and said this:
'Sir, on behalf of Dairy Queen I would like to give you the $20 bill that you happened to drop on the ground as you walked away from the counter. I realize that this is not the $20 bill you dropped, because the older woman stole it but it does still have the same face value.'The manager gave the $20 out of his own wallet. A customer was so in awe that they wrote to central management, the good deed went viral, and the manager will be rewarded!
2. Diamond ring.
A homeless man returned a diamond ring to a couple after it was accidentally dropped into his cup. Despite getting the ring priced by a jeweler at $4000, he managed to find the owners of the ring. In return, the family started a fundraiser for him, raising over $190 000. He now has a house and a car, and reunited with his family!
3. Money in backpack.
A homeless man from Boston found a backpack containing almost $45 000 worth of cash and travelers cheques. Another man started an online fundraser which has since raised $135 910!
4. Lottery Ticket.
Finally, a man in Spain found a winning lotto ticket. He didn't claim it for himself because he wanted a clear conscience, however the good news is that if the authorities fail to locate the rightful owner, the money will go to the finder!
