(Oakwood, IL) – A retired part-time police officer and small business entrepreneur from Illinois who is on limited income, has someone to thank in Atlantic for his honesty and compassion. Tim Stewart lives in Oakwood, IL, and he had stopped at a gas station in Covington, Indiana to get something for his granddaughter around the 9th or 10th of October. They didn’t have what he needed so he went somewhere else. When he got out to pay for it, he realized his wallet with $150 inside, was missing.

When his “Angel” -as Tim calls him – found the wallet, they searched the internet for nearly two-hours and found his number, and gave Stewart a call.

Stewart said he was beside himself, dumbfounded that someone would take the time to track him down and give him the good news.

The man didn’t want to take the chance on leaving the wallet at the gas station where he found it, so he offered to mail it to Stewart. He told Stewart he was from Atlantic, Iowa, and he worked at a “cycle shop.” The return address turned out to be Nishna Valley Cycle. Stewart said his first reaction to getting his wallet back, was shock.

Tim said while he didn’t get the man’s name, it “restored his faith in humanity.”

Stewart said he wanted to let people know, that the world isn’t full of all bad news and bad people.
