SOLON, Ohio (AP) -- Police in the Cleveland suburbs say a man has very happily been reunited with his lost wallet containing $4,600.

A woman found it in a shopping cart outside a Bed Bath & Beyond store in Solon (SOH'-luhn) on Thursday and took it to police. Thirty-year-old Leah Kleppinger of Twinsburg tells The Plain Dealer of Cleveland ( http://bit.ly/oPB1j6 ) that keeping the money would have been stealing.

Solon police Lt. Bruce Felton told reporters in an email: "There are still honest people in this world."

Felton described the man who lost the money as someone who carries a lot of cash in his work.

When he picked up the wallet, the man left a reward for Kleppinger at the police station. She won't say how much but says it was "completely unnecessary."
