What would you do if you found the wallet of an NFL quarterback?

One man in Indiana was faced with that question recently when he came across Andrew Luck‘s wallet while on a bike ride last month. Rather than help himself to anything in the wallet, the man took it back to Luck at Colts headquarters and wound up with a reward.

The man is the father of RTV6 television producer Haleigh Hoffman’s friend and she shared a picture of the autographed football that Luck sent along with a note thanking the man, whose name is Charles, for doing the right thing.

“Many thanks! You made my life much easier, ha! Thanks for reminding me of the ‘kindness of strangers,'” Luck wrote.

The Colts will be hoping that more good turns are coming Luck’s way as he tries to take the final steps in his comeback from the right shoulder injury that cost him the entire 2017 season.

    ===============================================

    A democrat would keep it as a form of social justice against evil rich people. A republican would return it.

  2. You made my life much easier,

    anyone who has ever lost their wallet knows the money is the minor thing. Replacing all the other stuff; drivers license, credit cards, ss card, etc is the real hassle that could take months of paperwork.

  3. Here’s the thing,

    I work in a place where literally a million people come through a year. We get many returned wallets, phones, , tablets, laptops, credit cards etc. I’ve found that most people operate from honesty and fairness. It’s like everything else in life. The 1% is what you hear about and we often judge based on the stupidity we read about here and other places.

    My wife lost her card in between stores at the mall yesterday. No one has turned it in. I’m on vacation for 2 weeks starting tomorrow so no card, have to change all my payments to the new number, Andrew is right, that guy saved him a lot of pain and aggravation.

  4. Well, at least Luck gave him something.

    But, I would have given a heck of a lot more than that.
    Autograph ball, tickets to a real game in a suite with food and drinks, and a locker room visit after the game? Maybe?

    An autographed ball doesn’t seem like much thanks from a guy who makes millions.

    most people do the right thing because its the right thing to do …. not because they get something out of it.

    If you can’t walk into your bank and walk out with a new debit card or get a new CC in less than 48 hours you need to rethink who you bank with. Many 21st century banks will allow you to create virtual acct numbers for recurring bills, great for earning cash back without someone having your real acct info on file.

  7. Yeah, returning it was the decent thing to do, and what anyone should have done. But it’s what Luck/the Colts have access to reward with that makes this cheap. Definitely game tickets at least, not a football with one grown man’s name on it given to another grown man.

  8. “What would you do if you found the wallet of an NFL quarterback?”

    Invite him out for dinner and drinks!

  9. An autographed ball for a millionaire’s wallet? Man, there is a sucker born every minute.

    I would expect Jim Irsay to be the one who wakes up and has no idea where his wallet is.

    ——

    whenever I see his name, I picture Jim from the TV show Taxi.

  11. Let’s hope Luck can throw a regulation size ball soon and is the Comeback player of the year.

  12. Perhaps the man just said I did it because its the right thing to do. Also perhaps he wasn’t looking for a reward by returning his wallet.Bill

  13. So basically he just gave him a nice football.

    That ball might have been worse a bunch of money 5 years ago but times have changed and not for the better.

    *Hands Andrew another ball* “Could you get Russell Wilson to sign this one?”

  14. stop being greedy you thirsty sheep.

    an autographed ball would be enough for me and im a liberal. screw the tickets, colts suck anyway.
