A homeless man in Arizona found over $3,300 (£2,000) in a backpack, and rather than keeping the money he tracked down the owner and gave it back.

Dave Talley, a recovering alcoholic who's been homeless for 11 years, found the satchel with thousands cash at a light rail station in Tempe.

Good man. Great story.

A kid actually found my wallet once, with cash in it, and returned it complete with the cash, so I ended up giving him the money. If I was the owner of the backpack, maybe I wouldn't give him all the cash but some.

Goes to show that though life may have been really rough, a man can retain his sense of honor and honesty.

A tip of the cap to Mister Talley.
