Dec 10, 2018 by apost team

Mistakes often happen when we’re in a hurry. Such is the case with Washington, D.C. resident Katie Egger Makris. Katie is a workout instructor at her local gym. Hurrying to work one morning, Katie didn’t notice that she dropped her wallet on the sidewalk near her home. Hastily preparing for her 6 a.m. class at the gym, Katie wasn’t even aware that her wallet was missing when she got an alert on her phone. A Ring camera by her front door alerted her to a stranger on her porch. A million things went through Katie’s mind as she watched the video on her phone. Still too early for a delivery driver, Katie grew even more apprehensive as she saw that the stranger, who wore an inconspicuous plaid shirt, had a mysterious object in his hand.

Having difficulty seeing what the stranger was doing in the still pitch-black early morning, Katie grew even more concerned as the individual began looking around her front porch and rummaged through her mailbox.

After a final sweep of the porch, the stranger left as quickly as he arrived mere moments before. Concerned about the situation, Katie called her husband to find out what the stranger had been doing on their front porch. Katie was immediately relieved when her husband told her that the mysterious man had tucked her wallet under their doormat.

Katie was astounded upon learning of the stranger’s kindness. Writing on Facebook, Katie thanked the man, telling friends, “This guy was nice enough to stop his van, clearly checked the address on the ID and returned it under our mat.”

Katie continued that man’s actions are almost unheard of in Washington, D.C. Typically, when you lose your wallet in a big city, it’s lost forever. Even worse, any money in the wallet is stolen and credit cards accounts have to be closed due to the possibility of fraud. The stranger gave Katie peace of mind and may have even saved her from identity theft.
