Florida resident has her wallet returned by an unidentified man who found it in a Walmart parking lot.
What We Know:
- Debra Crosby, a resident of Yulee, Florida, noticed her wallet was missing while checking out at a River city Walmart location in North Jacksonville, Florida. Crosby told NBC affiliate WLTV that she quickly began to think of all the things she would have to replace and the inconveniences that would come with it. “I am going to have to replace my military id and my driver’s license. I am going to have to take off work because they are not open during the hours when I get off,” said Crosby.
- Crosby was nervous and anxious as anyone who keeps their valuables in their wallet would expect to be until she received a notification from her phone bearing great news, which can be seen in this video from NBC News. An unidentified man was recorded by her Ring Doorbell, explaining why he was at her house and what he had found.
- According to Apple Maps, the River City Walmart location is about 20 minutes away from Yulee. Reports show Crosby describing the man as her “guardian angel” and commends him for his good deed. Crosby told NBC affiliate WLTV that the man not only returned the wallet, but it had all of its contents inside of it, and he even concealed it for her when leaving it on her front doorstep.
- Crosby, who is also a middle school teacher and a mother, says that she wishes her sons would do the same thing if ever put in the same situation. Reports claim that Crosby will try to spread this great act of citizenship by including it in her lesson plan for her students back at school.
This just goes to show that acts of kindness, such as returning someone’s wallet, can go a very long way.
