I pulled in behind him and returned the wallet and he gave me twenty bucks as thanks.
I felt good. Thought I'd done a good deed but I had a couple of people tell me I was dumb for bothering. And one person asked if I checked how much money was in there.
What's with people? Seriously? Wouldn't you return a wallet to someone in that circumstance?

I think you did the right thing. Doing what you did should make you happy because you can look in the mirror with pride every day.I wish more people did things like that. Most people would have kept it or the money, which is pretty low and karma would get their ass some day. I believe in karma and would have done the same thing you did, however I would have refused the money, amazingly. So don't question what you did, other people who would have kept it have no character or honor.
