Two teenagers found a wallet full of cash and credit cards on the street in January. Instead of keeping it, they immediately returned it to its owner. Four months later, they ― and everyone at their school ― received surprise rewards.
On May 20, 125 pizzas were delivered to Seogwipo Middle School on Jeju Island, police said Wednesday. Oh Seung-jin, the wallet's owner, sent the pizzas as a token of his appreciation for their good deed.
“The students refused to receive any reward, so I called their teacher to ask how to express my gratitude,” Oh said.
The seniors ― Han Woong and Kang Tae-won ― found the wallet on Jan. 30. After checking the identification card, they located Oh's house and returned the wallet.
Oh, who had lost hope on the wallet by then, offered them money, but they politely turned it down. He later called their teacher to find a way to express his gratitude and came up with the pizza idea.
Their story was posted on the National Police Agency's social media channels.
