Remember the golden rule? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
A penniless and homeless man in Thailand was given a job and a place to live in after surrendering a wallet full of money.
Forty-four-year-old Waralop saw a brown Hermes wallet containing 20,000 baht (£440) and credit cards. Instead of keeping it, he headed to a local police station without reluctance and returned the expensive wallet with all the cash in it.

The owner, Nitty Pongkriangyos said he did not notice that he lost his wallet.
“I was totally surprised when the police told me they had my wallet as 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,” the 30-year-old said.
According to Waralop, he saw Nitty dropped his wallet at a subway station.

“But he was homeless and had just a few coins in his pocket and still handed it in. That shows a good, honest person. Just the kind of staff we need,” he said.
