After Chris Person lost his wallet outside a Publix store, he searched the area multiple times. After his 72-year-old mother scoured the parking lot and looked at surveillance footage with the store manager, but came up empty, he’d completely given up hope.
The wallet contained his drivers license, Covid vaccination card, credit cards, plenty of cash, and even a gift card that could easily be redeemed by anyone.
The next day three strangers showed up to his home in Palmetto Bay, Florida.
15-year-old Lucas Perry had found the wallet in the parking lot, which had fallen out of Chris’s pocket, and with his father and sister decided to drive to Chris’s address to personally hand deliver it.
Chris became impressed with the values that Eduardo Perry had obviously instilled in his children. Especially because every dollar of the more than $100 in cash was still in the wallet.
“They all refused my offer to keep the money that was inside it, they only wanted to do the right thing—and they did,” Chris told GNN. “Eduardo was adamant about teaching his children the impact of a selfless, honest act, but I have a strong feeling these two teens would have done it anyway.”
