Boston- The overwhelming response to a fund set up for a Boston homeless man who turned in a backpack he found filled with more than $40,000 in cash and traveler's checks is a "statement to everyone in America," says the Virginia man who started the drive.

James flagged down a police officer Saturday after he found the backpack containing $2,400 in cash and almost $40,000 in traveler's checks at the South Bay Mall In Boston. The man who lost it told workers at a nearby mall store and they called police, who later returned the backpack to him.

I get a laugh out of those who call noob since its a sign they have no good arguments. In this case it is especially funny since I have been posting for over a year already.

Ditto. As I said, prayers for his recovery
