They found his license, found his phone #, then called him to let him know I found his wallet. When he showed up, I was secretly hoping I would get something for doing my 'good deed' - however, that was not to be. The guy took his wallet, told my parents to tell me 'thanks' and left. I was hoping for something, but wasn't EXPECTING it, unlike this mother and her kid. It didn't bother me that much though 'cause I knew in my head that I did the right, proper thing.
    And you wouldn't have called the guy a cheapskate if you got $20, either, I'm sure.

    I guess my parents must've done something right, eh?
    Sounds like the proper attitude to have, but you know how I feel on the topic

    I admit I was a tad let down when I didn't get anything (especially considering I could've grabbed the money and trashed the wallet and no one would've been the wiser), but I certainly didn't "expect" a reward. I was just "hoping." Big difference I guess.
