When we leave our personal belongings on public transportation or in a restaurant, how often does someone go out of their way to personally return our lost items to us?

Well, according to Fox 29, 19-year-old Baxter Perkins walked to the home of Stephanie King and waited for someone to arrive after he discovered her wallet with cash, debit cards and different forms of ID left behind on a SEPTA bus in Philadelphia.

King and her mother were shocked to see Perkins, whom she did not know, waiting on her doorstep to return her wallet.

“Not a good look,” Perkins said, laughing that having a 6'2" black man sitting on your stoop, waiting for you might unnerve some people. “I said ‘I’m sorry, I just found your daughter’s wallet.’ Her mom stopped in her tracks.”

King, 16, cried tears of joy over that fact that she would not have to cancel her cards, reapply for everything and be at a loss for money.

King's mother shared Perkins' act of kindness on Facebook. The post has gone viral with more than 20,000 shares and 130,000 likes.

“It was something that made me feel really good, and I just wanted to share it,” King's mother said. “We see so much negativity, especially with our young black men that I just wanted my friends to know this young black man did something that touched our hearts.”

Perkins said he did not intend to receive any praise for his good deed.

“Just do the right thing,” he said. “It’s not hard to be a good person.”
