Honest Homeless Man Returns a Stranger’s Wallet and Gets Offered a Job and a Home

Faith in humanity restored.

See SWNS story SWHOME; A homeless man who handed in a designer wallet full of cash was rewarded with a JOB and a new FLAT to live in. Good-hearted Woralop (corr), 45, had just nine baht (0.20p) to his name when he spotted the Hermes wallet with 20,000baht (£440gbp) and credit cards on the street earlier this month. Despite having barely eaten, he trudged to the local police station and gave police the expensive brown leather wallet with all the money still inside. Owner Niity Pongkriangyos, 30, was so thrilled when cops tracked him down that he offered destitute Woralop, who has no surname, a job at his metalwork factory in Bangkok, Thailand.

It’s these kinds of stories that make us believe in humanity again.

Woralop, 44, was probably a tad bit hungry when he spotted the Hermes wallet on the ground. He picked it up to return to the man who dropped it, but the guy was too fast. Checking inside, he found 20,000 baht (around USD 500). He was hungry and homeless, but he was also a dignified and honest man. So he went to the nearest police station and turned over the wallet to the authorities.

His actions didn’t go unrewarded.

Police notified the owner, Niity Pongkriangyos, that his wallet was in their care. When he found out, he was surprised, saying, “I didn’t even know I’d lost it. My first reaction was ‘wow’, if it was me in that position with no money I probably would have kept it.” Due to his immense gratitude for the homeless man, Nitty offered Wallop a job at his metalwork factory in Bangkok. And accommodations.

Niity’s girlfriend decided to go online and spread the news of Woralop’s good heartedness. She posted, “Woralop is such a good example that being kind really does pay off. When you’re kind to another, another is kind to you.”

This is the kind of good-heartedness and honesty that we all should have.
