A Scout is Trustworthy: Boy Scout Returns Purse Containing $2,000
The Sphere reports on an 11-year-old North Carolina Scout who found a stolen purse containing nearly $2,000.
The News & Record of Greensboro reported Wednesday that Edward Myers and his siblings were helping neighbors plant trees in a Greensboro park when he spotted a purse on the creek bank.
The Boy Scout and his mother called the police, and the purse's owner showed up to collect.
The owner told police her car was broken into on Thanksgiving. Police say the thief took $30 out of the main billfold but missed $1,900 in another compartment before flinging the purse into the creek.
The owner rewarded Edward with one of the $100 bills. He gave $40 of it to his mother and spent the other $60 on a Carolina Panthers jersey.
