But it doesn't end there. Somehow the story of this breaks in the news and suddenly donations start pouring in for Dave. Offers to go on talk shows to tell his story come his way. From all of that the guy now has a new house and a new start in life.
And there are people right here on GFY who've posted that karma doesn't exist.
Be honest, how many here (who aren't even homeless) would have kept the backpack?

but how many times does this NOT happen? Probably 1:10,000 does someone get recognized for what they did.
friends of mine used to work at Hershey park and say when people would turn things in, they would keep them if they were cool, especially taking out the cash in the wallet... and these are EMPLOYEES!
I've had stuff lost or stolen and would always return it -- what goes around comes around. Unless its a drug dealer or prostitute, then I'd keep the cash
