DORR, Mich.—An 11-year-old Boy Scout who found and returned a wallet containing more than $800 has received some good karma for his good deed.

Thanks to publicity about his action, J.R. Bouterse (rhymes with “doubters”) has gotten his own lost wallet back.

J.R. found the wallet of Jessica Cutler last month in a church parking lot, not long after losing his own at an Easter egg hunt. Meanwhile, Nancy Bosse and her 6-year-old granddaughter found the boy’s wallet at the park where the egg hunt took place.

There was roughly $30 in it, but no ID. But they were able to get it back to J.R. after learning of his own act of honesty.

Michigan State Police officers took up a collection to give the boy a reward, but he asked instead to spend the money on a pizza party for all 30 Scouts in Troop 90.

Another guest at the Monday night party, to J.R.’s surprise, was Cutler, a 20-year-old Burger King manager, who wanted to thank him personally.
