It's a big deal, as a lot of people would not have figured it out....also, he didn't have to personally find the man, he could of just returned to sender. Meaning, it would of taken much longer for the man to receive the money. You know how the system works. They might have even put it into a dead file and he would of never received it.
It's a very big deal...............

Yes. He very easily could have kept the money. Human nature being what it is, its easier to do something when it benefits us. Its much harder to do something when it benefits someone else. Now I understand what the Misnah says when you should serve God without the expectation of receiving a reward. We usually think of rewards as money or material goods. There are other rewards waiting for us and we don't think about them often since they're not that obvious. One of them is the feeling of gaining merit before God's eyes. Compared to the treasures of the earth, the treasures of heaven are of infinite value and lasting worth. The younger Rojas gained more than many people think he received and its something that can't be measured on a price tag. It may be the most precious reward of all to have.

Sarcasm or not, you're the only one injecting such tripe into a thread about integrity, courage and hope. Buzz off.

Hooray for you Carlos G. Rojas.
It pleases God to see some righteousness prevail in a land that is known as the home of the brave and "USED" to be known as home to many more like Carlos G. Rojas.
All's well that ends well!

I was defrauded in a business transaction so I wondered if there are still honest people.
You also setup a bank account for the Nigerian and transferred money to him? Man, and I thought I was the only one...

Nothing like that. I know, I should have listened to my inner voice telling me NO. But I learned my lesson and will never do it again.

Yes, you're right. But he could have shredded the checks and forgotten about it. So he STILL deserves credit for making sure the insurance company didn't just write it off as well. The ins. company, after all, had records to prove they sent the check, and the insured might NOT have told anyone that he took out the insurance. He's still a hero in my book for caring.

How could anyone do anything different than this man did? I don't get it. It wasn't his money, so he found the guy it belonged to and got the money to him. That's what you do.

I've known you to be cynical, but this takes the cake. Try spell checker, it works.

My name is simply a combination of the initials of three persons.
My parents once found a large amount of cash. They turned it in right away and wanted no thanks for it. In my family, it is taken for granted that this is the right thing to do. Apparently this is different from yours.
