Homeless turns in lost wallet of $$$

Kim Bogue said her prayers have been answered. She lost a wallet and figured her $900 was gone for good. She had been saving the money for a trip to her native Thailand.

A homeless man found the wallet in a Southern California garbage bin while looking for cans to recycle. Bogue had accidentally tossed the wallet in the trash when she threw out her lunch leftovers at the office.

The man, who asked not to be identified, gave the wallet to a woman who works in a nearby building. The billfold still had Bogue's money and credit cards.

Bogue gave the homeless man $100 for his honesty. She said he has a good heart.

Why does everyone act so surprised when a poor man is honest? Is that really such an impossibility?
