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?
