If you lost your wallet in New York City, you probably wouldn’t hold out much hope of getting it back.
 
But Reilly Flaherty’s story proves there’s all variety of Good Samaritans, including ones whose acts of kindness come with a dose of bad.
 
Flaherty lost his wallet while out on the town. A stranger returned it – well, most of it – and left him a note of explanation, according to CNN.
 
“Dear Reilly Flaherty, I found your wallet and your driver’s license had your address so here’s your credit cards and other important stuff. I kept the cash because I needed weed. The Metrocard because well the fare’s $2.75 now and the wallet cause it’s kinda cool.”
 
The note is signed, “Enjoy the rest of your day. Toodles. Anonymous.”
 
Reilly told CNN he canceled his credit cards on the way home from the concert where he’d been the night he lost the wallet.
 
“The currency doesn’t matter, whether it’s a dollar or a thousand dollars,” he told CNN. “The fact of the matter is there’s a modern-day Robin Hood out there who knows my blood type, knows where I sleep at night. So that’s terrifying, frankly."
