Pennsylvania good Samaritan delivers lost wallet to stranger on New Year's Eve, fast friendship ensues
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.”
