Just when you think there’s nothing good about humanity, a story hits the news that proves you wrong. Take, for example, the story of Luis Salazar (pictured above) from Riviera Beach, Fla. Walking into the restroom of a Wawa convenience store, Salazar spotted a fanny pack hanging on the handrail inside a stall. He promptly went out into the store, asking if anyone had forgotten the fanny pack. His next thought was to open it and look for an ID. Instead, he was shocked to find that it was packed full of cash — $30,000 to be exact. He spent the next several days trying to locate the person who owned it. Eventually, the fanny pack’s owner contacted the Riviera Beach Police Department to report it missing. They used Wawa security camera footage to identify Salazar. They told him the owner was waiting at the police station, and Salazar went river over. When he handed the owner, who wishes to remain anonymous, the fanny pack, he cried and hugged Salazar. When Salazar was asked why he returned the money instead of keeping it, his response was, “It’s not my money to take. I wasn’t raised that way.” It turns out that there really are people with honesty and integrity in this world.
