Not many people would celebrate their mailbox getting taken out by a car, but when Crystal Collins experienced the valor and kindness of the particular youth who hit it, she knew she wanted to shout his praises in public.
The teenager rang her doorbell while she was at home in Lincoln, Nebraska and told her that he had accidentally hit her mailbox with his truck due to the snow and icy conditions on the road.
Not only did the youngster offer his most heartfelt apologies for the incident, he also offered her every dollar in his wallet.

Collins told him to keep his money, but he returned to her house two days later with a plate of homemade cookies.
Collins was so touched, she published a Facebook photo of the young man from her security camera last week in hopes of identifying him and his family.
“I’m looking for his parents,” she wrote. “They should know what an outstanding young man they have raised!”
After the post was shared several thousand times, the young man was identified as Owen Sullivan. It also reached the social media feed of his mother Jamy—and she was extremely touched by her son’s honesty.
“I honestly got teary-eyed, because it was so, it’s just nice to know your kids do good things when you’re not around,” she later told KOLN.
