Harold Walls is a trash collector in Milford, Delaware. ( Milford is 70 miles south of Wilmington.)   Three years ago, he lost his wallet while driving his garbage truck. He and his partner even retraced their route, but they couldn't find it. But that wasn't all: Harold had been planning to buy a 55-inch flat-screen TV after work that day, and he was carrying $800 cash in his wallet. He assumed the money was gone, and bought the TV anyway. 

Last year, the city of Milford auctioned off Harold's old truck, and a farmer in Maine bought it. He took apart the seat, and found Harold's wallet underneath.   The farmer mailed the wallet back to Harold anonymously, and it arrived earlier this month, with the $800 in cash still inside.
