But instead of saving for himself, Zeini brought the wallet to her parents who then decided to take her to the police station.

Launching from the Daily Mirror, the Sheriff Santa Barbara County Office praised the teenager's actions and uploaded his story to their Facebook page.

"When the world is bombarded with bad news, we are proud to share your good story with you."

"A 16-year-old teenager, Rhami Zeini was on his way home from school when He found a wallet on the street near Turnpike and Cathedral Oaks."

"When he saw the contents he found a large amount of money. He tried to find a contact number to contact the owner of the money but did not find it."

"He took his parents to the sheriff's office and handed him a 10,000-dollar wallet," the police wrote on Facebook.

Santa Barbara Sheriff's Office Public Relations Officer, Kelly Hoover told the local news station that the owner of the money lost him while on the way.

It was believed he had forgotten to put the wallet on the roof of the car and then drove so that the wallet fell in the middle of the road.

The police have managed to find the owner of the wallet and hand over the wallet. As a thank, the owner gave Zeini a 100-dollars.

But social media users actually criticize money owners who are considered too stingy in giving a sign of gratitude.

But for Zeini it wasn't a problem because He felt if He had done the right thing by returning the wallet.

"For me, this is the right thing to do. If I am in the wallet owner's position, I will certainly lose and expect the money to return," he told to KCOY-TV.
