BRANDON, South Dakota  — A South Dakota man has his lost wallet back with some extra cash thanks to a stranger.
Hunter Shamatt thought he’d never seen the wallet again when he lost it on a flight to Las Vegas for his sister’s wedding. Inside was $60 (almost P3,500) cash and a check for about $400 (almost P21,000).

Shamatt tells KSFY-TV he received a package a few days later along with the wallet and a letter. The stranger wrote he found the wallet wedged between a seat and a wall on a flight from Omaha, Nebraska, to Denver.

He added $40 (almost P2100) so Shamatt would have “an even $100 (almost P5,250)” to celebrate the wallet’s return. The stranger only signed the letter with initials.

Shamatt’s was able to thank the man after tracking down his return address in Omaha. MKH
