Boy Scout Returns Wallet with 800$ Inside, is Newsworthy, Somehow

Seriously, who does this?

When an 11-year-old Boy Scout found someone's wallet with $800 inside, he understood what the person who lost it was going through.
Only a few weeks before, he had lost his own wallet and the $45 it contained.
J.R. Bouterse immediately told an adult about his discovery, which was turned over to a law-enforcement official and returned to its grateful owner.

If I had found this wallet when I was eleven, I would probably have done one of two things. One would have been immediately spend all eight hundred dollars on comic books and action figures. This is because I was stupid, and wouldn't have thought to think ahead far enough to where my parents would ask me why I suddenly had hundreds of dollars worth of toys and comics. Busted. I'm almost certain that would have happened.

But the more clever me would like to think I would masquerade my greed behind the veil of attempting to be a good person. I'd be smart about it. Knowing that someone was missing 800$, obviously first order of business is to stash away maybe 100$ so the amount is different. Next, ditch the wallet. Some where far from where you found it. Next, report to your parents you found 700$ cash (but lie about where you found it). This way, you look like a good person, and who knows! You might just get a nice little pat-on-the-head type reward from the parents - possibly in the form of toys and comic books.

Also, the kid says he knew what the owner was going through because he had recently lost his wallet with 45$ in it. What 11 year old has 45$ in his wallet? I don't think I even had a wallet when I was 11. The most money I probably ever had on me was like, 5 dollars.

I was going to write "Guess what, you've acheived another merit badge! Being a dick!" , but this is an 11 year old kid who is clearly a better person than I could ever dream of being, so I guess I'll just go over here now...

Also, who carries eight hundred dollars in cash on them? Drug dealers and pimps. That's who. Congratulations kid, you've just given a coke dealer his money back. Go sit in your shame closet.
