While most of us tend to move on after mourning over the lost necessities, there are a few lucky ones who get them back, with the help of the police or the generosity of the person who finds it. And then there is Hunter Shamatt, who not only got back his wallet but with some added happiness that was tagged along! Hunter was on his way to attend his sister39。s wedding on a Las Vegasbound flight when he realized that he has misplaced his wallet, sometime during the journey. Hunter39。s family reached out to the Frontier flight to enquire if someone had handed it over to them. Unfortunately, there was no sign of the missing wallet. But wait. The story was far from over. Just a week after Hunter39。s sister39。s wedding, he received a package in his mail. And guess what? There was his wallet! Surprisingly, the wallet was not the only thing that was inside the package.

I rounded your cash up to an even $100, so you could celebrate getting your wallet back. HAVE FUN!!! Moved by the touching gesture
