Homeless Man Rewarded With A Job And A Flat For Handing In A Wallet

You’re often asked what you would do if you found a wallet full of cash; hand it in? keep it? give it back but expect a reward? It’s a tough one that really does test your morals.

Waralop, 44, from Thailand was a homeless man with the equivalent of 20p to his name when he found an expensive wallet full of credit cards and the equivalent of £400 inside. Being a great guy, in general, he chose to hand it in.

Thankfully, his upstanding citizenship didn’t go unnoticed as Niity Pongkriangyos, 30, the owner of said wallet, was so pleased when the police got in touch to say it had been returned that he offered Waralop a job in his factory.

Speaking to the press, Nitty said:

“I was totally surprised when the police told me they had my wallet as I didn’t even know I’d lost it. My first reaction was ‘wow’, if it was me in that position with no money I probably would have kept it.

But he was homeless and had just a few coins in his pocket and still handed it in. That shows a good, honest person. Just the kind of staff we need.”

Nitty initially offered Waralop 2,000baht (£44) but then decided that a job would be more fitting. And that’s not it, Waralop’s new job comes with accommodation plus a 11,000baht (£240) salary.

Speaking of the situation he found himself in, Waralop said:

“I’m so grateful to be given this chance to turn my life around. Having a clean bed to sleep in makes me so happy now.

I want to thank Nitty and Tarika (Nitty’s girlfriend) for the kindness they have both shown to me.“

After a lot of bad things happening in the world lately, it’s good to end the working week on a story like this. Good like to Waralop on his endeavours and here’s to the charitable nature of Nitty and Tarika!
