Cintron immediately turned the money over to human resources. When the owner was located, he tried to give him $500 as a reward, but Jaydon initially refused, arguing that his faith prevented him from accepting payment for doing the right thing. “Money is useless without character,” he stated.

After some insistence, he finally accepted the reward, earning praise from the local police and his employer. Would you have returned the money, or would you have given in to temptation?
