Florida Teenagers Return Wallet to Owner and Refuse Reward

  • Chris Person’s faith in humanity was restored when two teens returned his lost wallet and even refused reward.
  • Chris lost his wallet, containing his driver’s license, credit card and plenty of cash, outside a Publix store in Florida.
  • Three people showed up at his door after three days to return his wallet with nothing missing inside.

Chris Person lost his wallet outside a Publix store in Florida recently. It had fallen out of his pocket. He and his mother scoured the parking lot and looked at the surveillance camera with the store manager, but they couldn’t find it.

The wallet not only contained his driver’s license and Covid vaccination card. His credit cards are also there, plus plenty of cash, and a gift card that is easily redeemable by anyone.

As Chris had completely given up hope, three strangers showed up at his home in Palmetto Bay, Florida the following day.

Lucas Perry, 15, had found the wallet in the Publix parking lot. He was accompanied by his father, Eduardo, and 17-year-old sister Maya.

Chris said he’s impressed with the values that Eduardo had instilled in his children. Every dollar of more than $100 in cash was still in the wallet.

“They all refused my offer to keep the money that was inside it, they only wanted to do the right thing—and they did,” Chris told GNN. “Eduardo was adamant about teaching his children the impact of a selfless, honest act, but I have a strong feeling these two teens would have done it anyway.”

Chris also noticed that the two teens “never even looked down at their phones” while they were chatting.

“I’m fortunate to know this wonderful, gifted, and talented family—I know that because we spent a good amount of time listening to Maya play my guitar and sing Let it Be with her beautiful sweet voice.”

The following weekend Chris and his wife got a new TV and decided they didn’t need their souped-up surround sound system anymore. Chris remembered Eduardo is very much into quality audio, so he called him up and asked if he wanted it—and he was thrilled by the offer.

“So, interestingly, one Sunday they are dropping off my wallet at my house, and the next Sunday they are back at my house to pick up a surround sound system,” Chris exclaimed. “I can’t wait to see what the future holds.”

Chris says he’s grateful for making three new friends that day.
