The present world is often blamed for being dishonest and corrupt. While there are enough reasons to defend such an accusation, there are some other examples which make us believe that there are people on the same planet, who still believe in morality. Here comes an amazing story of a rabbi who lives in Connecticut. He returned $98,000 to its owner after he and his wife found the amount in the drawer of a desk which they purchased from Craigslist.

It took less than $200 for Noah Muroff to buy the desk from Craigslist. However, according to WTNH News, the desk had some surprising package coming along with it. Mr Muroff, with the help of his wife, was trying to put the desk inside the office. Things, on the contrary, looked quite difficult as the desk turned out to be only inches wider than the office door.

They came up with an idea of dissembling the piece of furniture as they thought that it might help them get the desk inside. The surprising package made a dramatic entry when they started dissembling the desk. Mr Muroff found a transparent plastic bag (the one which is used for normal shopping) and he could see some attractive pieces of paper were seen through it. When he opened the packet and counted the amount, it was $98,000 waiting for them. Sounds fictional? Well, reality is even stranger, they say.

What is even stranger from a layman's perspective in the present world is that the rabbi, his wife and son decided to return the money to its rightful owner. They thought that they could not have the money as it did not belong to them. For the Muroff couple, honesty still is the best policy; it seems. When they called the owner of the desk and informed about the money, the owner could hardly say anything.

Vos Iz Neias, which is an orthodox Jewish news blog, published an image of a thank-you note which the owner sent to Mr Muroff. The note says that the owner likes to believe that there are still some good people in the 'crazy' world at present, and Mr Muroff is definitely one of them.
