Katie Egger Makris is one lucky woman after she left her home in Washington D C on Thursday morning when she was getting ready to leave her home to attend an exercise class when she must have been outside getting her equipment to load on her auto when her wallet fell out of her gym bag on the street near her home.
Due to the high number of home invasions in her neighborhood, Katie had set up a security camera on her front door to record any crimes from thieves who would steal either her mail or packages.
Katie was shocked to hear the doorbell ring when a man who must be a Dallas Cowboys football fan since he was wearing a cap with the star logo was driving in his auto in the area when he found the wallet.
When the Dallas Cowboys fan found the address inside the wallet on the street, he decided to return the wallet to the Makris home by placing the wallet underneath the welcome mat and walk away.
Katie wants to thank the man personally for his honesty to return a missing wallet to the Makris home.
The family of the Dallas Cowboys fan know what he did. Out of respect for his privacy, the honest man does not his identity to be revealed.
In the Washington D C neighborhoods, cases of people returning wallets back to their owners is very rare.
One more item. Just because the Dallas Cowboys are the bitter rival of the Washington Redskins football team, the mutual respect between the fans of both teams worked in the advantage of Katie in this case.
I would guess there are a lot of wonderful stories like this that we hear nothing about.
You are correct since forensics makes it very hard to pull off the perfect crime today.
In today’s times, there are fewer honest people
That is true since people today do not want to earn their pay.
Thanks, DPG, this is a great post, regards, Tranquilpen
My pleasure to share the good deeds done by people around the world.
the crime rate in DC is generally the highest in the nation…
What many political pundits have said on their sites is that cities that have gun control laws or police corruption are the highest crime towns that make Gotham City look like a paradise by comparison.
Seriously, even with crime rates dropping due to forensic advances, it is still pretty bad
That is true since criminals will do anything to try and beat the system of solving crimes.
they can pretty much forget about it, these days you’d need a degree in forensics to pull that off…
Interesting story. There were people who were more honest before us.
Today is the same news when in the newspaper that somebody found a lot of money and returned it.
There are still honest people, but my subjective impression is that they are far less than before.
You are correct that are a handful of honest people in our society today.
