    Jonathan MacArthur, 35, decided to eat out one Saturday 

night. He pulled into a drive-up window at MacDonald’s. 

Hungry as a bear, he ordered a large beef burger, large fries, and 

a king-size drink. MacArthur got his fast food as well as a big 

surprise. Stuffed inside one of the paper bags was £2,000! 

    “I looked at the money as I ate. I knew immediately I should 

give it back,” MacArthur said. But MacArthur did not return the 

money right off the bat. He went home to sleep on it. “I’ve got to 

say I was tempted to keep it,” he embarrassedly admitted. 

    MacArthur went down to MacDonald’s the next day to give 

back the money. Restaurant workers greeted him with tears in 

their eyes and gave him lunch on the house. They explained that 

the restaurant puts its bank deposits in paper bags to prevent 

robberies. By mistake, a clerk gave MacArthur the wrong paper 

bag. 

    MacDonald’s is happy to give MacArthur a reward. But 

MacArthur says there’s something even better—he has a clear 

conscience. “I’m glad I did the right thing. I feel better than I’ve 

ever felt.”
