Car break-ins occur every day but it is rare for a victim to get something back.

So imagine the surprise one victim received when the phone rang late one night and it brought a good deed with it.

Erin's dance studio is open but she had to close several business and personal bank accounts.

"I'm getting everything closed out," says Erin Wolfe, theft victim.

On Friday night thieves broke into her car while it was parked in a downtown garage during the time she attended a dance recital.

They took a bag containing checkbooks and personal items like mail.

Later that evening, a man who spends his nights at the Open Door Mission found an envelope on a street a few blocks from the break-in.

Inside was a check for several hundred dollars made out to Erin Wolfe.

So the man found a phone book, then a phone and called her to say he had her check.

"It really makes you happy there's some honest people out there and he didn't have to do this and he did and I really appreciated it," says Wolfe.

The envelope was found on a street frequented by the down and out.

Wolfe gave the homeless Good Samaritan a $50 reward.

Her mother says good can sometimes follow bad things in life.

"You have the feeling, 'Oh geez, what’s everything coming to?' Somebody smashes her window, takes her stuff, and then turn around and somebody finds something and has the honesty to come forward and call it makes you feel a lot better about things," says Shirley Risk, Erin’s mother.

Though thieves took important scripts for her studio's recital, Erin has shirts ready for more than one hundred young dancers who will participate.

“The show must go on,” says Wolfe.

And it will thanks in small part to a homeless man with a wealth of honesty.

While Erin Wolfe is thankful for the honesty of the Good Samaritan, she's still missing many items valuable to her.

They include blank checks for her dance studio and estate information on relatives who died recently.
