Honest or dishonest

Had the misfortune of loosing my wallet.

No, it was not flicked or pick pocketed. Mea culpa, I dropped it. (how and where is another long story)

Everything gone. ATM card, driving license, visiting card etc etc. (no credit card as I have never opted for one till date) And yes about 4000 Rs in cash too.

Who ever got it (lets say Mr X) did a wise thing. He pocketed the money(and the wallet), and put the rest of the things in a cover and posted it to me and ensured that I get it, by not affixing the postal stamp.

I don’t know about other countries but in India this is a sure shot method of ensuring that the recipient gets the mail. (Try it, it works all the time) All the other methods like Registered post, Acknowledgment Due, Insured posts etc always have some loop hole and you may get a blank “lost sir” as an answer. Those who are smart enough can guess how the “w/o stamp” method works, others can contact me for the know-how.

Now my question is this: Do I bless Mr X as a good Samaritan , “may God bless his soul” or do I categorize him as a dishonest man (for pocketing my cash)
