JACKSON, Ohio (WSAZ) -- Your heart may skip a beat when you lose something important like your ID, credit card or wallet. Then those worries disappear if a Good Samaritan finds those things and turns them in.
Two boys from Jackson, Ohio were having a snowball fight in a Kroger parking lot when they discovered a pocketbook in an abandoned cart.
While it would have been easy to pocket it for themselves, Jacob Voyles and Britt Salyer say they just wanted to do the right thing.
"We were just trying to figure out who it belonged to," Salyer said.
One of the boys' mom says there is something to learn from all of this. "They did exactly what we always taught them to do...be honest," Patty Miler said.
The family says the woman who left her purse went back to pick it up shortly after the boys turned it in.

Believe me I did go back through her line and as I did I made several comments loudly about her taking my wallet. *almart has a store policy that anything left behind like keys or wallets is to be directly taken to the service desk and locked in a safe utnil it is returned until its owner. I contacted Walmart Headquarters to no satisfaction. Not even the *ason, WV police department were concerned. I even contacted the Mayor! Nothing....I am so made that she still has my money and her job. In my job if I would have taken anything I would have lost my job and my license!

these young men must have God-fearing parents. You are few and far between. I pray that you continue to encourage these young men to do the right thing. Parents today let computer games and tv. teach their children the way of life. And you know what's on the boob toob. Sex and violence especially in the news. There are no decent shows any more. I commend these two young men and their parents. May GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND ALWAYS.
