An 8th grade teacher in Florida got a call this week that she wasn’t expecting.
It was the good Samaritan who handed over his wallet after it dropped into the Walmart parking lot last weekend.
“I was like, ‘Did I dream this or what?'” Debra Glover-Crosby told Fox News.
For several days, Debra Glover-Crosby had been trying to track down his “hero” to thank him appropriately for his kind gesture.

Glover-Crosby said he was shopping at the checkout line at the Jacksonville store last weekend when he realized his wallet was not there.
“I was in a panic,” she said.
To make matters worse, Glover-Crosby said that her husband was out of town and she had a lot of money to carry her until he returned.
When she got home, she was surprised to find her wallet waiting for her right at the front door.

Images from Glover-Crosby’s home security camera, which she later posted on Facebook, showed the good Samaritan trying to personally deliver his wallet.
“Hey, how are you? I found your wallet at Walmart,” said the man to the camera after no one opened the door.
“I’m going to put it in Amazon’s boxes,” he continued.
It was something that Glover-Crosby never expected.
“This is above and beyond,” she said. “I probably would have turned it into customer service or something, but I never would have thought of taking it to the person it belonged to.”
When Glover-Crosby asked why he had gone so far, he said “this is how he was raised”.
Glover-Crosby said it was the perfect story to tell students in the weekly “What would you do?” Fridays.

It is modeled after the ABC series of the same name, which creates scenarios – often of a conflicting nature – to see how people react when no one is looking. The show records the reactions on a hidden camera.
Last weekend, Glover-Crosby recalled that “people are naturally good,” she said.
It is something she hopes to instill in her students, especially during the pandemic.
“When there is so much negativity going on, we have to focus on these positive things to lift our spirits,” she said. “We can choose to focus on the negative, but I choose to focus on the positive. And this is how I start my days ”.
