Just a Really Nice Homeless Man

This weekend a homeless man in Boston found a backpack filled with over forty-two thousand U.S. dollars and traveler checks, as well as Chinese passports and paperwork. The man says he found the pack in the South Bay Mall at around 5:30 and he promptly took it to an officer working in the mall. The man who lost the backpack told employees working at a local Best Buy to keep their eyes out for it and was returned his bag an hour or so later. The homeless man received no reward; just the satisfaction of doing a good deed. As he turned out of the mall, dressed in cargo shorts and a ragged tee shirt, some witnesses say they could hear him start to whistle "What a Wonderful World", then he turned around and gave one last gentle half smile to the Chinese man as if to say, "I'll be around". The man refused to have his name be made public, so for now we will just call him The Boondocks Saint.
