Three jelly donuts and $2,000

Bill Kelly lives in The Villages, Florida. Recently he and his three-year-old granddaughter, Sophia, had a date. He took her to Dunkin' Donuts in Brownwood, where little Sophia immediately noticed an envelope on the floor. Grandpa opened it and it contained more than $2,000 in cash. That's when Sophia's conscience kicked in. She insisted they must return the money to the owner, since it was not theirs. Kelly, a retired police officer, agreed.

The envelope full of money also contained the owner's credit card, so Kelly found the name in the phone book and called, but nobody answered. Then he noticed that one of his former law enforcement colleagues, now retired, lived on the same street as the credit card owner, so he called his friend and they returned the cash and credit card to the owner, Shelby Hughes, shown above. "I thought I put that envelope back in my purse," she said. Hughes is a former school teacher and truly appreciated Sophia's determination to find the envelope's owner. She said she was glad "the right people" found the envelope.
