How hard would you work to help a stranger? Many people believe that if they lose something, it is unlikely to be returned.

It's common to lose all hope when you've lost your wallet or other belongings, but this story proves that there are people willing to make things right, even if the situation is difficult.

When a young couple, Gabriel Ruiz and Gabriela Jauregui stumbled upon a treasure while they were out and about on Christmas night, they knew they had to do the right thing.

While spending the holiday together, they found a diaper bag with no one around to claim as the owner. They waited a little while for the owner of the object to return, but no one ever came. Instead, they decided to check the wallet hoping to find the identity of the person who left it behind. Instead of finding the identity, they found $5,000 sitting in the bag. Knowing that they couldn’t keep the money with a clear conscience, they decided to look through the bag further to find the owner. The pieces of identification that they did find were written in a different language, and they had no idea how to read Vietnamese. There were no addresses listed on any of the documents, and the couple was stumped on what to do. But they finally found the answer they were looking for: a secret pocket inside the bag that had the information they needed.

The young couple ended up staying up the entire night after their Christmas celebration working on how to find the owner and give him back his cash and bag. This situation proves that there is kindness left in the world, and everyone commends Gabriel and Gabriela for doing the right thing in this scenario.

Could your morals go out the window if you found a large amount of cash? Thankfully, this couple decided to rise above the feelings of greed and do the right thing when they returned the money to the rightful owner. It's a Christmas miracle for the man who left the bag behind. When was the last time you did the right thing in a hard situation? Let us know - and pass thing along to your friends and family!
