Not many people would be able to turn away thousands of dollars in cash if they found it lying on the street, which is why one Massachusetts woman was devastated when she realized she lost $2,000 in cash after depositing checks for her boss.

Sometime after Guadalupe Alvarez stopped at the bank for her boss, she accidentally lost a bag that held $2,000 in cash as well as deposit slips from the bank. She thought she would never see the money again, and was stunned when the Arlington Police Department called and told her a six-year-old had found the cash and returned it all.

“Erik imparted an extremely valuable lesson on his son,” Arlington Police Chief Fred Ryan said. “It is hard to imagine the panic and fear that sets in when someone loses a large amount of money for their employer. Jasper and Erik did the right thing, and I commend their actions in returning the missing money.”

Six-year-old Jasper had been walking with his dad Erik Dopman on April 18 when they discovered the money on the ground near a school. Rather than take it for themselves, the two immediately called the police to report it. For doing the right thing, the police department decided to award the dad and son with Outstanding Citizen Awards.

“This situation shows the very definition of good citizenship,” Chief Ryan said. “Jasper and his dad, Erik, demonstrated what it means to be part of a community by returning missing money to its rightful owner.”
