Danny Graves of the Cincinnati Reds
What would you if you found a wallet on a bus with $1,400 in cash tucked inside?
Last week during a West Coast swing, Danny Graves, the Cincinnati Reds' closer, lost his wallet containing his credit cards, driver's license and about $1,400 in cash. Graves, like most of us, figured his wallet was gone forever.
The man who cleaned the bus that took the Reds to the airport, however, turned out to be the most honest man since Abe Lincoln. The bus cleaner, whose name was not released, not only returned the wallet and all of its contents but took extraordinary precautions to see that Graves got everything back.
"The guy kept the cash and exchanged it for traveler's checks so it wouldn't get stolen through the mail," Graves said yesterday. "It was like $1,400 in cash. He did say, 'I borrowed $26 to overnight it to you.'
"He sent his name, address and phone number. He said, 'All I ask for is could you please sign an autograph for my father.'
"He's going to get a little more than an autograph."
Talk about good karma!
