I wonder how he tracked down the owner, since there was no ID in the wallet. That's good investigating!

I'm wondering how $8,000.00 would fit into a wallet.
I have a hard time putting $2000.00 in mine.
All I can say is "that must of been a big ass wallet"!
Great clip of someone being very honest, if only all people were the same.
