A good Samaritan drove miles out of his way on New Year’s Eve to deliver a lost wallet to a stranger.

Doylestown resident Richard Murray-Dey works as a Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) conductor, according to FOX 29 Philadelphia. On Dec. 31, Murray-Dey was on the clock when he noticed a lost wallet.

The conductor opened it up and noticed it belonged to a Radnor Township resident named Greg Basile.

“I called my wife and we decided immediately that I would drive and take that wallet back to him, but try to do it anonymously, so I’m not infringing on his privacy,” Murray-Dey told FOX 29.

“What he had in there, I knew he would really need it and I wasn’t looking for anything in return,” he added. “This is just how I am and what I do.”

Pennsylvania man charged after son brought loaded gun to school, DA says

A Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, man was charged after his son went to school with his loaded gun, the Chester County District Attorney’s Office said Monday.

The DA’s office said Russell Matthews, 58, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and recklessly endangering the welfare of a child.

East Pikeland Township Police responded to Hares Hill Elementary School on Monday at around 12:15 p.m. for the report of a student who brought a handgun to school.

At school, the student noticed the handgun inside their backpack and told a school counselor, according to the DA’s office. The student told officials that he recognized it and that it belonged to his father. The semiautomatic handgun was loaded with five rounds of ammunition, the DA’s office said.

Matthews told police that he put the gun in the wrong backpack, the DA’s office said.

Nobody was injured during the incident.
