There are still good people in the world. There are good teens in the world. And a couple of them right here in Claremore did a really great thing recently.
On New Year’s Eve, 16-year-old Sequoyah student Daniel Cowan and his sister, Kiara, were at Claremore Walmart. They found a wallet lying outside the store, which contained an ID, credit cards, and $700 in cash. Instead of pocketing the money, the Cowan kids went to the Claremore Police Department and turned it in, hoping to find the surely distraught owner.
Daniel said he’s lost his wallet before, and it’s the worst feeling. He wanted to do the right thing.
Chief of Police Stan Brown praised the teens for their actions. At Monday’s City Council meeting, Daniel received a standing ovation as well as a certificate of appreciation from the city.
The owner of the wallet, who chose to remain anonymous, gifted Daniel and Kiara with a $50 restaurant gift card so the family can enjoy a dinner together.
Good job, Daniel and Kiara!
Those are some good kids.
That’s awesome!
Also, good picture, Chief.
I bet their parents are so proud of them!! I know I am!!
Awesome. Proud of them
Great kids! I’d love to give them both a big hug!
We usually only hear the bad things about teens, but most teens truly are good!
Well done 😉
