Home security camera captures 3 kids returning a wallet with $700 inside

When a news station gets hold of home security footage, it's often broadcast to identify a criminal. Aurora, Colorado area stations broadcast this footage to help identify three great kids. It worked.

A couple weeks ago, Haylie Wenke, 13, and her 6-year-old brother Reagan were riding bikes with a friend. They spotted a wallet in a driveway, brought it up to the door, and rang the bell. The smart doorbell system answered, and the surprised-looking kids explained their find. "We found your wallet outside of your car and we just thought we would give it back to you. I'm going to put it over here so no one takes the money," Haylie said. 

The wallet had $700 inside.

The homeowner, Jamie Carlton, was grateful for the kids' honesty. He wanted to thank them personally, but didn't know who they were. So he posted the security video on Facebook in hopes of finding the kids. The video was picked up local news outlets, which led Carlton to Haylie's mother. He was able to contact the kids to thank them for their honesty. He said the kids' action, 'refreshed your faith in humanity."
