Marlins fan loses wallet, stranger returns it with something extra

On Opening Day last week, Miami Marlins fan Christhian Reyes lost his wallet at the game.

"I was looking all over, like the seats, to see if I had just dropped it," he told WSVN. "I was paranoid because I had my school ID. It had some important stuff in there so I could contact other people, and I had money in there, obviously."

Later that week, a Good Samaritan returned the Miami high school senior's wallet — with a note and an extra $20 inside.

"I found this at the game last night and wanted to make sure you got it back," the note read. "I added $20 to it so you know the world is a great place. Do me a favour and when you get the chance, do something nice for someone else."

The man who found the wallet used Reyes' student ID to track him down at Miami Senior High School. He left the wallet at the front desk.

"This nice gentleman walked in, and I said 'May I help you?'" registrar Barbara Piedra told WSVN. "And he said, 'Somebody lost this wallet. One of your students. I think it's one of your students from this school, lost this wallet at the game, and I just want to make sure he gets it back.'"

The school was so impressed with the stranger's good deed that staff contacted the Marlins organization to praise the Good Samaritan.

"And now you have a student, inspired by an anonymous person who wanted to do a good deed, and I'm certain this student will continue to pay it forward," said Alfredo Mesa, vice president of The Marlins Foundation.

"I just want to thank him for giving me back my wallet," Reyes said of the kind stranger. "Whenever I can, I'll return that favour that they asked for."
