I saw this happen while I was finishing up my Xmas shopping.
I needed to get a few things for my sister, since I got sniped on a silent auction for a drinks set (tumbler glasses, martini glasses, and a cocktail shaker in a travel kit) at work. I'd gotten her a few other things, but I wanted to get her a gift card at "Lindstrom's" to finish out her gifts.
I go up to the Lindstrom's that our family tends to frequent and picked up a gift card and waited in line so I could pay for it. Another woman was finishing up some shopping of her own, and then a manager came over with something for her.
It transpires that the woman had lost her wallet in the store earlier in the day, and the manager was returning it. After confirming the woman's identity by checking her driver's license, the manager hands the wallet over, and the woman checks it-- and finds that all of her money was still in it.
The woman, who explained she was a massage therapist, had just cashed out some checks from her job before going shopping, and this cash was in an envelope in the wallet. A very not-insignificant amount of cash. It was all in there, so were her credit cards.
Everyone at the register-- me, the workers, and manager-- was very happy to hear that the woman hadn't lost out on all this money. I even commented, "It restores your faith in humanity, doesn't it?"
Put a smile on my face.
