Disabled Veteran Thanks Twins Who Returned His Wallet Filled With Cash

14-year-old twins Makyla and Makhia Vincent were on their way to class on the west side of Detroit when they made their discovery: a wallet that had been dropped on the sidewalk.

The wallet discovered by the sisters contained a decent amount of cash, along with credit cards and a military ID. While many people might want to pilfer the money, the girls decided to do the right thing.

Walsh, a disabled veteran who served in the Marine Corps, misplaced his wallet while he was walking along Ward Street in Detroit. Sometime later, Makhia and Makyla stumbled upon it.

"I read the veterans card and I was like, 'I would hate if that was my granddad and that happened to him,' so I knew we had to return it," Makyla told FOX 2 Detroit.

Walsh wasn't home at the time, so the girls dropped the wallet off in his mailbox. The moment was captured on Walsh's security camera. When he saw the video, he knew he needed to track down the Good Samaritans.

"It renews my faith in humanity," Walsh said. "It really does." He was so moved by the gesture that he contacted local media in an effort to track down — and thank — the Vincent sisters.

"All of a sudden, we were all over the news and people were saying 'Thank you for turning it in' and everything, it was great," said Makhia.

Walsh made sure to thank the girls from the bottom of his heart, giving them some cash for their trouble. The girls said they weren't expecting a reward, and that they'd probably try to save most of the cash.

"I feel really happy and grateful that I could help somebody, because I know other people could have kept the money," said Makyla as she reflected on the lost wallet.

Usually, the best-case scenario for a lost wallet is having it returned, minus whatever money was in it. Here, two fourteen-year-olds showed us the power of honesty. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
