The Goodness of America

Returned Purse

When 17-year-old Adrian Rodriguez found a purse in a grocery store parking lot, he did the right thing and was rewarded handsomely for it. 

Rodriguez found a green handbag in the parking lot of a Ralph’s grocery store in Chula Vista, California, in July and decided to return it to the woman himself using the address he found inside her wallet. The owner, Eliana Martin, was not home at the time, but Rodriguez left the purse with Martin’s roommates. 

When Martin realized her purse was returned with everything still inside, she and her roommates decided they wanted to track down the young man and show him their gratitude for his good deed.
