The average American is living paycheck to paycheck. And for Alesha, it was no different. Inside her lost wallet was $500 -- her final payment for her month's rent.

When Alesha got home and realized the wallet was gone, she jumped back in her car and rushed back to Walmart.

Deputy Petersburg Police Chief Travis Christian was in the parking lot when the frantic customer returned.

"Why [is] she driving so fast through the parking lot," he wondered.

But then Alesha jumped out and ran over to the officer. She was visibly upset, telling him how she'd lost her wallet full of cash inside the store.

"She's explaining to me she had fallen on some hard times," Deputy Chief Christian recalled.

Naturally, Alesha feared the worst. In these days and times, plenty of people would simply pocket a wallet full of cash if they found it.

But not Rebecca Brown!
