An urgent call came into Jim Green’s bar this past March. A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at the beach bar, couldn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care about her ID, credit cards, or $150 in cash — but her wedding ring was inside.
Jim, 42, didn’t like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place. So he set out to find the wallet. He spent hours checking the video tapes from 16 different surveillance cameras(监控摄像机), watching the woman’s every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a young man approached the bench, quickly put something in his pocket, and walked off. Jim posted a clip on the bar’s Facebook page. “I just asked if anybody knew who the guy was,” Jim said.
Within hours, Jim got a text from 17-year-old Peter. Peter admitted to having taken the wallet and told Jim he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake, so he took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks into the ocean. Then he bought a sandwich.
Jim, unsure whether he believed Peter, told the teen to meet him at the docks. There, they got to talking, and Peter revealed that he wasn’t getting along with his family and had been living in the woods for a week. Jim, a father of two, looked closely at Peter — his small height, his ruddy cheeks — and saw him for what he was: more of a kid than a criminal.
But the risks were high. The police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Peter could be facing a serious crime charge. “I had to help him somehow,” Jim says.
The police wanted Jim to bring the teen down to the station. Instead, Jim called the police and told them, “He’s going to be at the docks with me tomorrow.”

Paragraph 1
Jim hired two local divers to search the waters where Peter had thrown the wallet. A detective was waiting for them there. A crowd had gathered to watch the two divers search in the strong current. More than an hour passed, with no sign of the ring. Jim grew worried, especially when the detective began questioning Peter, trying to get him to admit keeping the ring.
Paragraph 2
And then a diver popped up. In his hand was the wallet, and inside was the ring. Cheers broke out in the crowd. When Jim called the wallet’s owner, she burst into tears. She promptly dropped the charge against Peter for stealing the ring. But it wasn’t over for Jim. He’d been troubled about Peter sleeping in the cold woods. Jim knew his home was big enough to give Peter a place to live in for a while. He told the teen he could stay with his family until the boy got on his feet again.
