The other item, of course, her wallet with all of her ID, credit cards, and remaining cash.
This is awesome for a number of reasons:
People are good.
Good people attract good people.
You have just been provided a reason to do something awesome for someone else today. It doesn't even have to be a stranger.
The fact is, we are provided opportunity to help others countless times throughout the week. It is our choice whether we recognize or ignore these opportunities. And we don't have to commit these selfless acts so we can tell others. Simply knowing you did it is all the acknowledgement you need.
Get out there and spread the goodness. Its like a boomerang and you never know how it will come back and help you.

$15 to overnight?!?!
WTF?!
That is awesome..by the writing I wonder how educated the person was? Could they have needed more of the money and chose not to take it?
Regardless the person is aces in my book.
Great story
Paying it forward - we need to all do it every day. What a great experience.
Amen! I think $15 was very reasonable for his time and effort.
I freaking LOVE this...and I believe in the boomerang, both good and bad. Send it out...it comes right back atcha.
Best,

P.S. Rock Chalk Jayhawk! Madness on Mass street!
$15 is cheap to overnight something, I know firsthand! And lucky girl she is. I lost my wallet a while back with things that cannot be replaced and never got anything from it back. I had about $100 in cash in it. I would have been happy to get everything BUT the cash in it.
Pretty cool person. I think I would have done the same; maybe would have tried to get her phone number somehow though. Maybe your friend did. Either way, good for her (or him)!
Oops, didn't mean to say "your friend."
That is so true!
That's a wonderful story of how great people can be.
Always the jokester!
That is awesome. Without a return address is a lot harder than you think when trying to do some "good".
Kudos to the sender. Very inspiring!
I adored this story...
Most people are taught at an early age the right thing to do. The wrong thing is always a learned behavior that comes when as we grow we have crossroads where we have to choose to mute the early lessons.
$15 doesn't sound outrageous for overnight costs. If the person wanted any more reward than doing the right thing they would have got the purse back to the owner in a different way.
Yay proof that goodness still is thriving in the world.
That is a really awesome story. And yes, pay it forward.
They always say that the karma will get you. I'd like that to be in a good way. LOL.
Last week, I was behind an elderly man with a walker as we approached the door of a medical building. I (in a wheelchair) asked if he wanted me to open the door. He said, "I should open it for you." I proceeded to open the door (with my footrests) and he said, "That's amazing! Thank you." Not only did I make him feel good for wanting to help him but he made ME feel good by complimenting my 'talent'. lol!
